Abstract

The paper reviews the features, the mechanism and the forecast model of CO2 corrosion in oil and gas exploitation. Generally, CO2 corrosion is a typical localized corrosion, which causes a serious economy loss. The corrosion product (FeCO3) or scale (CaCO3) deposited on different areas of steel. With different coverage, different areas form some corrosion couples with self - catalytic feature. It is the corrosion couples that result in CO2 localized corrosion. It is of great significance to establish a forecast model of CO2 corrosion for protection of tubes and design of anti-corrosion in oilfield.
