- Abstract
In the CCUS project, CO2 utilization had achieved remarkable results in oil displacement. But, at present, one of the main reasons that seriously affected the large-scale application of CCUS projects was that the corrosion behavior of underground environment on pipe string or wellbore was not fully evaluated. It was revealed that the wellbore corrosion behavior in the harsh environment in the process of CO2 flooding was the key to ensure the safe production of oil fields. Therefore, this paper took the corrosion environment with temperature of 81.7°C, pressure of 52.3 MPa and high salinity in the well depth of 4517 m as the research object, to study the corrosion behavior of oil casing N80 steel through corrosion rate, corrosion morphology and electrochemical experiments. The results showed that the corrosion rate increased with the increase of experimental time, behaved by the charge transfer resistance decreased. However, when the experiment increased from 800 h to 1000 h, the pitting corrosion rate increased from 1.47 mm/a to 1.782 mm/a, which was consistent with the ratio of anode/cathode Tafel constants and corrosion density. This was mainly because the relatively dense FeCO3 corrosion product layer generated on the N80 steel surface gradually brook down due to synergistic effect of amorphous CrO3, Fe2+/Ca2+ complex salt and Cl– during the experiment, which promoted the initiation and development of the corrosion pits. Compared with the bare N80 steel, the incomplete corrosion product layer aggravated the rapid development of pitting corrosion.
