Corrosion Control Flashcards
1
Q
What is corrosion inhibition?
A
Corrosion inhibition involves using chemicals or coatings to reduce or prevent metal corrosion, commonly used in wells to protect equipment from CO2, H2S, and oxygen.
2
Q
Why are CRAs used in well construction?
A
CRAs are used to prevent corrosion, especially in environments with H2S or CO2, reducing the risk of equipment failure.
3
Q
What is corrosion testing?
A
Corrosion testing involves simulating downhole conditions in a lab to see how materials respond to corrosive agents like H2S, ensuring they can withstand the actual well environment.
