“…Gathering pipelines in oilfields are seriously damaged by erosion-corrosion, which results from media including oil, gas, water and sand grains in the brine [12], so it is multiphase flow erosion-corrosion [13,14]. Because of the various compositions of oilfield brines, the mechanism of multiphase flow corrosion-erosion on the inner wall of gathering pipelines is very complex and not clear [15,16]. It is of great significance for safe field production to work out effective countermeasures by studying the mechanism based on oilfield conditions.…”

This work studies a series of factors influencing erosion-corrosion in oilfield gathering pipelines steel using the home-made testing pipe flow loop. Results showed that steel was corroded in oil-water flow. The corrosion rate increased with the flow velocity on the whole, and the addition of solid particles would intensify the localized corrosion. For the erosion-corrosion test added with 2 wt% quartz sand at the velocity of 2 m/s, the portion of pure corrosion and pure erosion accounted for 47.50% and 70.83%, respectively. The erosion-enhanced corrosion was 16.67% of the total weight loss, while the corrosion inhibiting the damage from erosion accounted for 35.00%, so negative synergistic effects appeared in the oil-water-sand multiphase flow conditions.
