Abstract

Carbon dioxide corrosion is one of the most common corrosion types of steel materials in the exploitation of oil and gas fields. Surprisingly， the corrosion caused by carbonic acid at the same pH is even more severe than hydrochloric acid， which has become an important factor limiting the development of the oil and gas industry. The use of corrosion inhibitors is the most economical and effective method to control CO₂ corrosion. With the development of oil and gas drilling operations to deeper wells， CO₂ corrosion under high temperature and pressure environment becomes increasingly prominent. This paper introduces the mechanism of high-temperature CO₂ corrosion of carbon steel. The paper reviews the domestic and foreign research on corrosion inhibitors for high temperature CO₂ and high S environment， mainly including imidazolines， quaternary ammonium salts， natural extracts and other corrosion inhibitors and analyzes corresponding characteristics. Finally， the future development direction of high temperature CO₂ inhibitor was prospected.
