Corrosion of electrical submersible pumps (ESP)‎ in South Rumaila oil field

Abstract EN

Rotating cylinder electrode (RCE) is used .

in weight loss technique , the salinity is 200000 p.p.m, temperatures are (30,5060,7080Co) .

the velocity of (RCE) are (500,1500,3000 r.p.m).

the water cut (30% , 50%).

The corrosion rate of carbon steel increase with increasing rotating cylinder velocity.

In single phase flow, an increase im rotational velocity from 500 to 1500 r.p.m, the corrosion rate increase from 6.88258 mm/y to 10.11563 mm/y respectively.

In multiphase flow, an increase in (RCE) from 500 to 1500 r.p.m leads to increase in corrosion rate from 0.786153 to 0.910327 mm/y respectively.

Increasing brine concentration leads to increase in corrosion rate at water cut 30%.-
