Wellbore Tubulars
An Integrated Approach to Accurate Corrosion Prediction
The ability to optimize carbon-steel use in corrosive service presents many
economic advantages including minimizing use of expensive corrosion-resistant
alloys (CRAs) and reducing well count. The full-length paper details how an
integrated approach to corrosion modeling and testing is used to evaluate the
use of carbon steel in oil and gas production environments.
