A Study of Chemical Compatibility between Corrosion Inhibitor and Biocide in Offshore Application

The main threat to the oil and gas pipeline is due to internal corrosion from corrosive acid gases and microbes. The integrity of offshore pipeline is dependent on successful mitigation of carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion and microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) through effective corrosion inh...
