This paper presents a method of corrosion inhibitor selection for field use. A corrosion fatigue testing device was used to evaluate the inhibitors. Results are based on an inhibitor's ability to extend the corrosion fatigue life of steel specimens in the producing environment. A new corrosion treatment program was implemented based on test results. Changing to the most effective inhibitor has resulted in a savings in well service costs of fifty-five percent.
