A CASE STUDY OF SELECTION OF CORROSION INHIBITORS FOR WATER SOURCE OF WAHA FIELD
Abstract
WAHA oil field is an important oilfield in Libya is operated by WAHA company . In this oil field water is being used for reinjection in reservoir to increase the pressure in the reservoir and hence increase production of crude oil. This water is produced from the water source wells drilled in oil field. Injection water contains dissolved carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide and hence it has corrosive characteristic .Moreover the temperature of water is high .A study has been performed to select suitable corrosion inhibitor for inhibition of corrosion .
This paper presents the results of corrosion inhibition studies of water source wells in WAHA field. The concentration of selected corrosion inhibitors has been optimized for economical consideration.
