... this damage from the formation, while it can be removed from the tubing and casings by aromatic solvents [ 4 ]. Many additives are required to minimize the precipitation of asphaltic sludge such as corrosion inhibitors (to prevent more production of ferric ions), antisludge agents, and iron control agents...

...Patrick Luckow; Avram Bar-Cohen; Peter Rodgers; Juan Cevallos The compression process necessary for the liquefaction of natural gas on offshore platforms generates large amounts of heat, usually dissipated via sea water cooled plate heat exchangers. To date, the corrosive nature of sea water has...

...Wei Wang; Jing Gong In oil-water two-phase dispersed flow, phase inversion may occur when the continuous phase becomes dispersed. This phenomenon, which controls the nature of the phase in contact with the pipe, has a great importance on the corrosion and on the pressure drop, which dramatically...

...S. Ekwaro-Osire; F. Karpat With today’s high prices for natural gas and oil, the demand for oil and country tubular goods (OCTGs) with superior performance properties is very high. Failures in OCTG can be attributed to numerous sources, for example, makeup torque, corrosion, and galling. Thread...

.... Also, the mixed layer occupies a much greater fraction of the pipe. These indicate that corrosion could be reduced at lower input superficial mixture velocity with surfactants in oil-water flows. oil technology pipe flow two-phase flow water surfactants velocity measurement mixing corrosion...

...H. Wang; D. Vedapuri; J. Y. Cai; T. Hong; W. P. Jepson Mass transfer studies in oil-containing multiphase flow provide fundamental knowledge towards the understanding of hydrodynamics and the subsequent effect on corrosion in pipelines. Mass transfer coefficient measurements in two-phase (oil/ferri...
