Cost-effective mitigation

Our Corrosion Services

We assess corrosion risk, select and qualify materials, and set up practical programs for wells, pipelines and water injection systems.

Downhole Corrosion Assessment and Metallurgy Selection

  • Assessment of downhole corrosion risks under CO₂, H₂S, high-temperature, high-pressure and saline production environments.
  • Selection and qualification of tubing, casing, liners and other downhole materials, including carbon steels, low-alloy steels, corrosion-resistant alloys (CRAs) and specialty metallurgy.
  • Evaluation of corrosion mechanisms, material compatibility, expected service life and cost-effective corrosion mitigation strategies.

Where We Work

Integrity across the whole asset, from the wellbore to the storage tank.

Downhole

Tubing, casing, liners and completion metallurgy

Pipelines

Oil, gas, multiphase and produced-water lines

Water injection

Waterflood and reservoir pressure maintenance systems

Storage & equipment

Storage facilities and associated surface equipment

CO₂

Sweet corrosion

CO₂-driven metal loss in wells and flowlines.

H₂S

Sour service

H₂S corrosion and sour-service material suitability.

O₂

Oxygen corrosion

Dissolved-oxygen attack, especially in injection water.

MIC

Microbial corrosion

Biofilm-driven localized corrosion and pitting.

UDC

Under-deposit corrosion

Attack beneath solids, scale and sludge deposits.

HPHT

High temperature & pressure

Material limits in demanding downhole conditions.

Cl⁻

Saline environments

Chloride-rich brines and produced water.

Scale

Scaling & solids

Scaling tendency, iron and suspended solids.

Corrosion and materials testing laboratory

How We Work

We find the root cause first, then recommend the most cost-effective fix.

1

Assess

Review the operating environment, fluid chemistry, monitoring data and failure history.

2

Diagnose

Identify the corrosion mechanisms at work, whether chemical, electrochemical or microbial.

3

Select & qualify

Recommend metallurgy and treatment options that meet the standards at the best life-cycle cost.

4

Mitigate & monitor

Design inhibition, biocide and water treatment programs, then track how well they work.
