Abstract

A novel emulsion flow loop was constructed to investigate the corrosion resistance (RP) of SA-543 and X65 steels in oil-in-water emulsions containing H2S and CO2. Results show that RP of SA-543 steel is significantly better than that of X65 steel. The RP, which increases with increasing oil concentration, velocity, and temperature, is lower in the developing flow region when compared to that in the fully developed region.
