Oil and gas production operations are characterized by the inevitability of numerous technical problems related to the nature of the produced effluents. Moreover, these problems change gradually with the life of the oil or gas well and need a periodic assessment and adjustment of the corrosion control methodology.
The main technical problems are:
SET Laboratories, Inc. provides the oil and gas production industry with a range of capabilities for laboratory corrosion testing, materials evaluation, field corrosion monitoring, consulting and customized research and development services.
Capabilities include routine screening, compatibility with produced fluids and with other injected chemicals and optimization of treatment. High-pressure high-temperature stirred autoclave, flow loops, and H2S, CO2 and brine environments used to simulate testing at downhole and surface conditions. Monitoring capabilities include all electrochemical techniques and coupons.
Services available to determine the corrosion rate break of produced water level including test for corrosion inhibitor effectiveness and evaluation of CRA.
Capabilities include resistance of steels to packer, acidizing and drilling fluids under CO2 and/or H2S conditions.
Services available to assess microbial and oxygen corrosion in secondary recovery operations and evaluate water compatibility and treatment for injection.
We offer a range of API, ASTM and NACE standards for compatibility testing of elastomers at downhole and surface conditions.
