Abstract Details

2014, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Chemical Engineering (Engineering and Technology).
Over the years there have been many attempts to model the corrosion process as it relates to oil and gas production and transportation. Most of these models were created for use in transportation lines, with relatively few attempts to model corrosion at reservoir conditions. Many of these models failed to account for the complexities and non-idealities present at such extreme conditions. Thus, the purpose of this research is to create a model for the corrosion of production tubing. The Institute for Corrosion and Multiphase Technology’s (ICMT) FREECORP model was used as a basis for the production tubing model, here called WELLCORP. The original FREECORP model was first modified to account for non-idealities in the gas and liquid phases. This model was then used to simulate production data and calculate wall thickness loss. The calculated wall thickness losses were then compared to wall losses measured by caliper readings. An additional thermodynamic model, ThermoCORP, was created from the open literature and previous ICMT work to predict corrosion product stability.
