The main objectives of the project are; a) To study the material used in a well production string. b) To determine the average CO2 corrosion rate of a typical well production string. As for the problem statement of this project, in oil and gas industry, CO2 corrosion has been a recognized problem in production and transportation facilities for many years e.g. in the tubing string of an oil producing well. The corroded tubing will cause leakage and tubing failure hence, disrupt oil production. The scopes of study for this project consist of identifying the rate of CO2 corrosion during the production life time of the tubing string and determine the factors leading to the CO2 corrosion. In order to provide a reliable prediction on the behavior of CO2 corrosion on tubing steel, the project’s methodology used Weight Loss Method using Autoclave Machine and Linear Polarization Resistance Method (LPR) to simulate the actual environment in the tubing during the oil production and analyze the CO2 corrosion rate. The laboratory experiments are conducted on API L 80 type steel. The Weighted Loss Method is conducted in stagnant condition using 3 wt% NaCl over a series of parameters which includes pressure = 10 bar, 40 bar and 60 bar, pH=5 and temperature at 25 ̊C. The LPR method is conducted in flowing solution using 3 wt% NaCl over a series of parameters which includes temperature = 25 ˚C, 40 ˚C and 60 ˚C, pH = 5 and pressure at 1 atm. All data were collected and analyzed using Weighted Loss Method, LPR, SEM, OM and Hardness (Vicker) Test to determine the CO2 corrosion rate and the effects on the L 80 steel. As for the findings, the average CO2 corrosion rates in API L 80 steel yield from the laboratory test ranges from 1.3 mm/yr to 4.7 mm/yr.
