Abstract

Corrosion is one of the most serious issues confronting the oil and gas sectors. Metals are gradually degraded as a result of chemical or electrochemical reactions with their surroundings. Metallic corrosion costs the United States $276 million each year, according to research. As a result, determining what causes corrosion in industries and how to prevent it is crucial. The major goal of this research is to utilize SEM to identify the many causes of corrosion in oil and gas pipelines, as well as to identify which element from the pipe's composition contributes the most to corroding pipe. In the presence of an electrolyte, most pipelines corrode due to an electrochemical process. The electrochemical aspect of the process also makes it easier to identify and mitigate this deterioration, which may be done by measuring the voltages and currents related with the corrosion rate. In this project, we will look at the impacts of modifying temperature while maintaining the pipeline material and solution concentration constant, as well as varying solution concentration while maintaining the pipeline material and temperature constant.
