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.
