... in the oil is pressure dependent. Several brine samples from an aquifer below the oil bearing strata were studied. It was assumed that the composition of aquifer brine is representative of the residual brine saturation in the oil bearing formation. Then it was concluded that the scaling tendency 1...

... of carbon steel in CO₂ containing environments. The model uses corrosion rate and surface-scaling tendency predicted by a 1-D mechanistic corrosion model as the inputs. It can predict the possibility of localized corrosion as a function of primitive parameters such as temperature, pH, partial...

... of type 2 aluminized steel was studied for >3,000 h in waters of controlled varying scaling tendencies containing different amounts of Ca⁺² and HCO 3 − ions at room temperature and a moderate (370 ppm) chloride content. Initial findings showed extremely low corrosion rates...

...) and precipitation (leading to metal protection). The rules of the original algorithm were modified to enable simulation of a broader variety of localized corrosion morphologies found in practice. The algorithm, which uses scaling tendency as the only input parameter, was connected with the mechanistic model...

... at the top approached that of the bottom when annular flow is maintained. The theoretical study includes the development of a solution super saturation model and a scaling tendency model, which are good tools for predicting localized corrosion. Localized corrosion occurs when the solution is only slightly...

... is the stabilized rate (the corrosion rate is considered stable when no change larger than 0.05 mm/y occurs during a period of time of at least 12 hours). modeling of CO₂ corrosion Top-of-the Line Corrosion non-condensable gas condensation rate corrosion rate scaling tendency protective scale...

... of the work is to establish the conditions under which stable, protective corrosion product layers form. A good indicator for the formation was found to be the so-called scaling tendency, which is defined as the ratio between the precipitation and corrosion flux. To form reliable scales, the bulk scaling...
