ABSTRACT:
A system and method for inhibiting corrosion of oil field pipe exposed to corrosive material including hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and sodium chloride with a corrosion inhibiting film which is a precipitate film formed by the reaction of a polysulfide with ferrous iron. The ferrous iron may be a constituent of the fluid passing through the pipe or separately injected. The polysulfide is the reaction product of hydrogen sulfide as a constituent existing in the passing fluid and an oxidizing agent such as ammonium nitrate separately introduced into the passing fluid. The method includes the steps of continuously passing a fluid carrying corrodents through the pipe, continuously bringing a polysulfide into being within the fluid, and continuously bringing elemental ferrous iron into reaction with the polysulfide within the passing fluids to form a precipitated film which is an effectively amorphous film having a predominant amount of iron disulfide. The dissolving and abrasive characteristics of the passing fluid tends to continuously remove the amorphous film and the continuous reaction of the polysulfide with the ferrous iron continuously replenishes the amorphous film with an equilibrium state of removal and replenishment being established in time. Where there is an absence of hydrogen sulfide in the passing fluid, a polysulfide such as ammonium polysulfide or potassium polysulfide may be separately introduced in lieu of the oxidizing agent.
