Abstract

The research presents the effect of corrosion inhibition of a corrosion inhibitor formulated by blending Duomeen-T®, ethylene oxide (EO), and benzyl chloride on carbon steel in oilfield production facilities. The experiments were conducted in an environment with Sharara oilfield formation waters saturated with CO₂. Duomeen-T^® acted as a hydrophobic agent, while EO enhanced the performance of the inhibitor by improving the stability of the protective film on the metal surface. The effectiveness of the inhibitor was assessed using the ACM linear polarization bubble test corrosion system. Findings reveal remarkable inhibition efficiency, even at lower concentrations, achieving over 95% inhibition in some cases at just 15 ppm of corrosion inhibitor.
