Wet H2S damage mechanism: A comprehensive guide for industry professionals

Author: Eng. Antonio Zavarce, February 19, 2024.
The wet H2S damage mechanism occurs when hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a colorless, toxic and flammable gas naturally present in crude oil and natural gas, comes into contact with water, dissolving and forming a weak acid hydrogen sulfide (H2S) that accelerates corrosive processes, particularly in iron and steel-based materials.

CO2 corrosion in hydrocarbon pipelines: Mechanisms, prevention and mitigation strategies

Author: Ing. Euclides Quiñonez, February 3, 2024.
CO2 corrosion in hydrocarbon pipelines is a critical phenomenon that can compromise the structural integrity and safety of facilities. CO2 is a byproduct generated in oil and gas production and refining processes, which interacts with metal in pipelines, triggering corrosive mechanisms that must be addressed effectively.
