Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the research field of electrochemical behavior testing of metal wellbore pipe column under-scale corrosion, and specifically relates to a detachable array electrode electrochemical experimental system and a testing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the increase in my country's oil and gas production, safety problems caused by metal pipeline corrosion failure are becoming more frequent. Among them, local corrosion failure of wellbore pipes caused by under-scaling corrosion is the most serious. During the water injection development of oil fields, the fluid produced by oil wells has a complex composition and will carry solid particles such as mud and sand in the geological reservoir to the low-flow area of ​​the gathering and transportation pipeline. On the other hand, CO 2 Carbonic acid dissolved in water will dissolve a large amount of Ca 2+ Mg 2+ Mineral ions such as metal mineral cations commonly found in formation water and CO 2 The carbonate ions produced by dissolving in water react to form CaCO 3 MgCO 3 etc., and form deposited scale layers on the inner wall of the pipeline. These irregular scale layers will cover the inner wall of the pipeline, causing serious scaling in the oilfield production and gathering and transportation systems. These sediments become a diffusion barrier between the produced fluid and the inner pipe wall, thereby changing the local pH value, the distribution of ferrous ions and the concentration of corrosive substances in the scale layer area, making the electrochemical behavior of the carbon steel under the scale and the exposed carbon steel form a large difference, ultimately leading to the heterogeneity of the water chemical environment. In severe cases, it will cause corrosion perforation of the carbon steel pipeline under the sediment, resulting in huge economic losses and energy waste.

[0003] Existing laboratory studies on under-scale corrosion behavior are mostly conducted by combining macroscopic electrochemical testing technology with submicroscopic microelectrode array testing technology. The microelectrode array can not only reflect the changes in corrosion current density and potential distribution of independent array electrodes, but also be coupled to present the electrochemical corrosion behavior of the entire area when the external environment changes. Microelectrode array testing technology can better characterize the corrosion electrochemical information of the scale layer and its surrounding areas based on changes in the external environment in real time. However, the existing under-scale corrosion experimental equipment cannot realize the morphological analysis test of the substrate surface after corrosion, the thickness of the scale layer is difficult to adjust, and the preparation of the under-scale corrosion array electrode is cumbersome, and a single electrode cannot be replaced if it is damaged. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned under-deposition corrosion experimental device and provide a detachable array electrode electrochemical experimental system and a testing method thereof.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A detachable array electrode electrochemical experimental system can be used for under-scale corrosion experiments under different environmental parameters. The array electrode metal sheet electrochemical experimental system includes an array electrode metal sheet system for under-scale corrosion, an array electrode metal sheet corrosion monitoring system, and an electrochemical workstation. One end of the array electrode metal sheet corrosion monitoring system is connected to the array electrode metal sheet system for under-scale corrosion, and the other end is connected to the electrochemical workstation. The array electrode metal sheet system for under-scale corrosion consists of a number of detachable array electrode metal sheets, a reference electrode, and a counter electrode.

[0007] The detachable array electrode metal sheet system for under-deposit corrosion comprises: an electrode fixing bushing, an array electrode metal sheet, an under-deposit corrosion packaging mold, an electrode base and a metal baffle installed at the bottom of the electrode base.

[0008] Preferably, the under-scale corrosion encapsulation mold is connected to the electrode fixing bushing by threads. The under-scale corrosion encapsulation mold is used to encapsulate the deposited scale on the one hand, and to limit the movement of the array electrode metal sheet on the other hand. At the same time, the thickness of the deposited scale is adjusted based on the change in the number of threads. A threaded installation port is reserved above the electrode base, which is also connected to the electrode fixing bushing by threads.

[0009] Preferably, the electrode base contains a spring, one end of the spring is in close contact with the array electrode metal sheet, and the other end is connected to the metal baffle, and a rubber ring is provided between the metal baffle and the electrode base. The under-scale corrosion encapsulation mold is used to limit the array electrode metal sheet, and the array electrode metal sheet is used to bear the applied deposited scale. Silicone rubber is encapsulated on the outside of the spring, and epoxy resin is filled between the silicone rubber and the electrode base to ensure the wear resistance of the spring during the expansion and contraction process while achieving insulation. A wire groove is provided at the bottom of the metal baffle and the electrode base, and a copper wire is provided inside the spring. The outside of the wire is coated with a fluororubber tube to prevent the electrode from short-circuiting.

[0010] Preferably, after the experiment of the detachable array electrode metal sheet system for under-deposit corrosion is completed, the under-deposit corrosion packaging mold is removed, and the array electrode metal sheet can be ejected by the built-in spring for easy disassembly, so as to facilitate the microscopic corrosion morphology characterization of the metal under-deposit corrosion in the later stage.

[0011] Preferably, according to the order set by the electrode sheet installation plug-in board, the array electrode metal sheets are arranged in the horizontal direction in sequence, the reference electrode metal sheets are located on the left and right sides of the array electrode metal sheets, and the counter electrode metal sheets are distributed on the upper and lower sides of the array electrode metal sheets; the copper wires are welded to the electrode sheets at the bottom of each electrode by a welding gun to ensure connectivity, and epoxy resin is poured to ensure insulation from each other. According to specific experimental requirements, the reference electrode metal sheet can be selected from solid silver / silver chloride electrodes, pure zinc sheets, etc., and the counter electrode metal sheet can be selected from platinum sheets, silver sheets, etc.

[0012] A test method for a detachable array electrode electrochemical experimental system is specifically applied to the above-mentioned detachable array electrode electrochemical experimental system. The specific test method is as follows:

[0013] Step 1: Use wire cutting technology to cut the metal to be studied into several 10 mm × 3 mm × 3 mm rectangular working electrode sheets, cut the reference electrode metal material into 10 mm × 5 mm × 5 mm reference electrode metal sheets, and cut the counter electrode metal material into 30 mm × 2 mm × 3 mm counter electrode metal sheets. Use acetone to remove the surface oil film and ultrasonically clean it in ethanol.

[0014] Step 2: Use a welding gun to spot-weld the copper wire to the array electrode metal sheet, the reference electrode metal sheet, and the counter electrode metal sheet for electrical signal export; and use a multimeter to test whether they are conductive.

[0015] Step 3: Place the welded array electrode metal sheets into the electrode sheet installation plug-in board in a predetermined order, and lead one end of the wire out of the mold to facilitate the collection of electrical signals. The working electrode sheet is embedded in the electrode fixing bushing, which is fixed to the electrode base through a thread, so that the spring is in a compressed state; the array electrode metal sheet is limited by the under-scaling corrosion packaging mold above.

[0016] Step 4: Prepare the scale layer type based on the experimental needs and deposit it in the under-scale corrosion encapsulation mold, adjust the depth of the under-scale corrosion encapsulation mold screwed into the electrode fixing bushing, and immerse it in the test solution for testing.

[0017] Step 5: The corrosion electrochemical behavior of the array electrode metal sheet system for under-deposition corrosion was characterized using the NI-PXI microelectrode array corrosion electrochemical test system developed based on Labview. The test system contains a fast matrix conversion switch and a digital multimeter with potential and current protection functions to obtain the distribution information of the coupled corrosion current density and corrosion potential. Before the coupled corrosion current density and potential test, the copper wires at the lower ends of all metal sheets were coupled to the aviation plug connector until a stable open circuit potential (OCP) was obtained. For current measurement, a fast matrix conversion switch was used to separate each electrode to be measured from the other electrode arrays, and all other electrode arrays were short-circuited together. Then, the corrosion current between each electrode and the array electrode metal sheet was obtained in turn. During the corrosion potential measurement, the coupled array electrode metal sheets were temporarily disconnected from each other, and the corrosion potential of each array electrode metal sheet based on the reference electrode was obtained based on the fast matrix conversion switch.

[0018] Step 6: After the experiment, clean the deposited scale on the surface of the array electrode metal sheet and remove the packaging mold corroded under the scale, separate the aviation plug connector, pop out the array electrode metal sheet through the spring, use manual pliers to remove the solder joints between the copper wire and the metal sheet, and then take out the array electrode metal sheet.

[0019] Step 7: Rinse the removed array electrode metal sheet with deionized water and anhydrous ethanol, and dry it for subsequent characterization of the corrosion morphology and pitting depth of the metal sheet surface.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0021] (1) The array electrode is detachable. The array electrode is detachable by setting a metal spring inside the motor base. The array electrode is limited by the under-scale corrosion packaging mold, so that the replacement of a single working electrode and the characterization of the morphology after corrosion can be realized. This greatly improves the work efficiency while ensuring the microscopic morphology of the metal under the scale layer, which helps to deeply analyze the under-scale corrosion mechanism under different external environmental factors.

[0022] (2) The thickness of the scale layer can be adjusted. The existence of the under-scale corrosion encapsulation mold can, on the one hand, limit the ejection of the working electrode, and on the other hand, the thickness of the scale layer can be adjusted based on the design of the under-scale corrosion encapsulation mold and the threaded connection between it and the motor fixed bushing.

[0023] (3) Modular characterization of array electrodes. Due to the difference in sediment scale type and coverage area, there will be large differences in electrochemical corrosion between the metal under the scale layer and the metal at the edge of the scale layer. By setting the working electrode modularly in the electrode mounting plug, it is possible to perform independent electrochemical tests on the metal under the scale layer or the metal at the edge of the scale layer, and at the same time, the metal under the scale layer / the metal at the edge of the scale layer can be coupled as an independent whole, and the macroscopic electrochemical testing technology (EIS, potentiodynamic polarization, etc.) can be used to study the kinetics and mechanism of corrosion electrochemical reactions.

[0024] The present invention can effectively combine external variables such as scale layer type and scale layer thickness with electrochemical testing.

[0025] Based on the experimental conditions, a detachable array electrode electrochemical experimental system and test method for metal under-scale corrosion monitoring can realize under-scale corrosion experiments under different environmental parameters (dissolved oxygen content, temperature, flow rate, pH, etc.). At the same time, external variables such as scale layer type and scale layer thickness can be effectively combined with microelectrode array corrosion electrochemical testing, which is helpful to accurately and real-time characterize the electrochemical information of the scale layer area and provide technical support for the study of under-scale corrosion behavior of metal pipelines.
