Corrosion
Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000866
The deterioration of metallic materials due to chemical or electrochemical reactions with their environment, a common issue in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations. This degradation can affect wellbore tubulars, pipelines, and surface equipment, leading to material loss, reduced integrity, and potential leaks. Factors such as dissolved gases, pH, and temperature influence the rate of corrosion.
