Abstract:
In order to clarify the influence of gas source purity on the service performance of pipes during CO
2oil recovery, high-temperature and high-pressure reaction vessels were used to conduct corrosion simulation tests on N80 and 13Cr oil casings under high-temperature and supercritical CO
2conditions with different purity CO
2gas sources. SEM, EDS, and XRD methods were combined to analyze the corrosion product film. The results show that the corrosion of N80 and 13Cr samples was more severe in low purity CO
2environment, and there was a serious risk of pitting of 13Cr. The main reason was that under high pressure condition, low purity CO
2would increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in the solution and cause serious oxygen corrosion of N80 and 13Cr. Therefore, when using CO
2oil recovery technology, the purity of the gas source should be strictly controlled.
