Corrosion rate is defined as the speed at which any metal deteriorates due to exposure to a specific environment. The oil and gas industry uses CO2 corrosion rates to determine the suitability of carbon steel as material of construction of wells, pipelines and processing equipment.
To calculate CO2 corrosion rates a corrosion prediction model is required. The CO2 corrosion prediction model needs to consider the following input:
- Temperature
- Pressure
- %CO2
- %H2S
- Ionic concentration
- Design Life
- Corrosion inhibitor efficiency and availability
The output of the CO2 corrosion prediction model should include:
- Corrosion rate
- Inhibited corrosion rate
- Corrosion allowance
- If H2S is present, the model should indicate the sour service severity
There are several CO2 corrosion rate prediction models reported in the technical literature. These models have been implemented in commercial software:
- Socrates and Predict by Honeywell
- Electronic Corrosion Engineer (ECE) by Wood Group
- Norsok M506 (latest issue 2017)
- BP Cassandra (a discontinued proprietary model from BP)
- Freecorp by Ohio University
alloyselect is a cloud-based software for CO2 corrosion rate prediction. alloyselect is a software for materials selection that helps you
- Evaluate CO2 and H2S corrosion rates.
- Select CRAs for sour service.
- Verify materials certificate for compliance.
Evaluate
with alloyselect you can use data from reservoir and operation to check if carbon steel is suitable for your asset. alloyselect uses an Artificial Intelligence algorithm to determine sour service severity, corrosion rates and allowance, pH and other threats to the integrity of your asset.
Select
alloyselect uses AI algorithms to identify suitable materials from a library of more than 300 different carbon and low alloy steels, cast irons and corrosion resistant alloys. alloyselect library of codes and standards is continuously updated to comply with regulatory requirements.
Verify
alloyselect helps you verify a selected material complies with one or more industry standards. AI algorithms analyse chemical, mechanical and processing data from Material Certificates to verify compliance with code and standards such as NACE MR0175, API 5CT and API6A
