Abstract:
Taking three kinds of separator produced water of the gathering and transportation pipeline in a shale gas field containing 10
3,10
5,10 sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) per 1 mL water sample (named as 1
#, 2
#, 3
# water sample) as the test medium, the corrosion behavior of L360N pipeline steel immersed in different water samples for 14 d was studied. The results show that the more SRB in the water sample, the higher the corrosion rate, and the more serious the corrosion of pipeline steel. After immersing in 1
# water sample for 14 d, the surface of pipeline steel contained FeS, and the high concentration of HCO
3- contributed to the formation of corrosion product film. After immersing in 2
# water sample, the content of FeS on the surface of pipeline steel was the highest, and the corrosion products distributed in uneven clusters; high concentration Cl
- and low concentration HCO
3- together accelerated the damage of the film layer. After immersing in 3
# water sample, the surface of pipeline steel was relatively smooth with few corrosion products and the lowest corrosion degree.
