Effect of FexCayCO3 and CaCO3 Scales on the CO2 Corrosion of Mild Steel

Calcium ions are usually present at high concentrations in brines produced with oil and gas. Such brines are typically saturated with respect to CaCO3. Consequently, precipitation of CaCO3 as scale on the internal wall of the pipeline can readily occur due to changes in operational and environmental parameters as produced fluids are transferred from downhole to surface facilities. Despite its importance, there is minimal research in the...
