Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of petrochemical corrosion and protection, and particularly relates to an oxygen-resistant corrosion inhibitor for oil wells and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, due to the wide application of the oilfield injection water system, produced water system, sewage system and air foam drive system, more and more oxygen enters the oil-water system, causing pipeline failure and injection water quality decline. Studies have shown that the uniform corrosion rate of dissolved oxygen is 80 times that of CO2 and 400 times that of H2S. Extremely low concentration of oxygen (less than 1 mg / L) in the solution can cause extremely serious corrosion. If oxygen and CO2 or H2S gas exist in the solution at the same time, synergistic corrosion will occur, and the corrosion rate will rise sharply. A large number of experiments have proved that the strong oxidizing property of O2 can directly oxidize Fe 2+ to Fe 3+ , and Fe 3+ reacts with the cathode reaction product OH - to form Fe(OH)3 precipitate. Part of the Fe(OH)3 will dehydrate to form FeO(OH) or Fe2O3·H2O at high temperature. However, the corrosion products of FeO(OH) and Fe2O3 are loose and porous, the formed oxide film is not dense, has poor adhesion on the surface of the steel body, and is easily washed off by the flowing medium in the pipeline. At the same time, Cl - in the corrosion medium can easily penetrate the film and cannot effectively protect the steel.

[0003] At present, adding corrosion inhibitors and deoxidizers is still an important way to solve pipeline corrosion. However, there are few corrosion inhibitors suitable for oxygen corrosion. The corrosion inhibition rate of most anti-CO2 or H2S gathering and transportation corrosion inhibitors is less than 50% in the environment containing dissolved oxygen. In the early stage, deoxidizers were used to remove dissolved oxygen in water. However, the amount of deoxidizer gradually increases with the increase of the content of dissolved oxygen, the corrosion prevention cost is greatly improved, and the deoxidizer cannot continuously remove the gas contained in the continuous gas injection. The subsequently developed oxygen-resistant corrosion inhibitors are mainly applied to drilling fluids and oil production plants. Most of their components are organic phosphonic acids, which can easily cause eutrophication of water bodies and further pollute the environment. The addition of amine and polymer corrosion inhibitors has problems such as decomposition, oxidation, poor solubility and dispersion in high temperature and high pressure, high salinity formation water.

[0004] Based on the above problems, in order to deal with the oxygen corrosion problem caused by the increasing content of dissolved oxygen in the pipeline, oxygen-resistant corrosion inhibitors for different environments need to be developed to reduce the corrosion prevention cost and mitigate the harm caused by oxygen corrosion.
