This invention relates to inhibition of corrosion and relates more particularly to inhibition of corrosion of ferrous metal by liquids containing corrosive compounds associated with petroleum hydrocarbons.
Crude petroleum oil and gas commonly contain hydrogen sulfide, organic acids, and other compounds which, in solution in water, are corrosive to ferrous metals and these same compounds are frequently contained, although to a lesser extent, in liquid petroleum products such as oils, gasoline, liquefied petroleum gases, and the like. Further, water is frequently produced concomitantly with crude petroleum oil and gas, and water may be contained in liquid petroleum products as a result of treatment in sweetening treaters, washers, and the like. Thus, the ferrous metal equipment of producing oil and gas wells, water disposal wells, and pipe lines for the transportation of crude petroleum oil and liquid petroleum products are frequently in contact with water solutions of hydrogen sulfide, organic acids, and other corrosive compounds associated with petroleum hydrocarbons thereby giving rise to serious corrosion problems.
It is an object of this invention to inhibit corrosion of ferrous metal in contact with water containing dissolved corrosive compounds associated with petroleum hydrocarbons. It is another obJ'ect of this invention to inhibit corrosion of ferrous metal in contact with water in admixture with petroleum compounds. It is another object of this invention to inhibit corrosion of ferrous metal equipment in oil and gas wells, wells for the disposal of water produced concomitantly with oil and gas, and the like. It is another object of this invention to inhibit internal corrosion in pipe line systems for the transportation of crude petroleum oil and liquid These and other objects of the invention will become apparent from the following description thereof.
In accordance with the invention, corrosion of ferrous metal in contact with a liquid comprising water and containing dissolved corrosive compound associated with petroleum hydrocarbon is inhibited by admixing with the liquid sodium mercaptobenzothiazole in corrosion inhibiting amount.
I have found that the admixture of sodium mercaptobenzothiazole with liquids comprising water containing corrosive compounds associated with petroleum hydrocarbons is highly effective for inhibiting corrosion of tubing, casing, liners, pumps, valves, pipes, storage tanks, and other 2 ferrous metal equipment employed in oil and gas wells, water disposal wells, and pipe line systems for the transportation of liquid petroleum hydrocarbons such as crude oil or liquid petroleum products. Sodium mercaptobenzothiazole is water soluble. Therefore, it will accompany the water in a liquid in which it is admixed and will concentrate in a free water phase where the water is in admixture with liquid petroleum hydrocarbons. Accordingly, sodium mercaptobenzothiazole will provide inhibition of corrosion of ferrous metal equipment at points in contact with water where corrosion tends to be most severe. By ferrous metal equipment, I mean any equipment made of iron or an alloy containing iron.
The process of the invention may be employed for the treatment of any liquid consisting of water or containing free or dissolved water which is or has been in contact with petroleum hydrocarbons and has dissolved therein corrosive compounds associated With these petroleum hydrocarbons. Included among these liquids are liquid petroleum hydrocarbons, such as crude petroleum oil and liquid petroleum products exemplified by oils, gasoline, and liquefied petroleum gases, natural gas from a well producing liquid Water along with the gas, and waste water separated from oil or gas of which disposal is to be made by injection into a water disposal well. Thus, crude petroleum oil may be treated in the Well with sodium mercaptobenzothiazole to inhibit corrosion of the well equipment. Similarly, sodium mercaptobenzothiazole may be employed to inhibit corrosion in natural gas wells. Where water separated from oil or gas is to be injected into a water disposal well, the water may be treated with sodium mercaptobenzothiazole if the oil or gas fromwhich the water was separated was not treated previously in the Well or if additional treatment is desired. Crude petroleum oil or liquid petroleum products to be transported in pipe lines may also be treated in accordance with the invention. Frequently, liquid petroleum hydrocarbons, such as crude petroleum oils and liquid petroleum products, will not contain a free water phase at the time they enter the pipe line system. However, they may contain dissolved water and a free water phase will subsequently form as a result of condensation due to cooling by lowering of atmospheric temperature or by passage through sections of the pipe line at a lower than normal temperature, such as sections of the pipe line located under a lake or river. Where condensation occurs in a, liquid treated with sodium mercaptobenzothiazole, the sodium mercaptobenzothiazole will enter into solution in the water phase, thereby inhibiting corrosion at the points of the system in contact with the free water phase. This issparticularly advantageous for the inhibition=of corrosionat low pointsin the carrier pipe, as in valleys, dips, and the like, or in other spots of the system where free water will accumulate.
The concentration of sodium'mercaptobenzothiazole to be employed may be between about. 1
and 500 parts per million by weight of the liquid to be treated depending upon.the corrosivity. of the liquid. Within these limits, the concentration of sodium mercaptobenzothiazole to be employed will depend upon the amount of corrosive compounds in the liquid and the extent to which corrosion is to be inhibited. Generally, satisfactory results are obtainedwhere the sodium mercaptobenzothiazole. isxemployedain an amount between: aboutt50 andQlOQ' pants-per. million. by weight .ofwtheliquidi However; the exact concentrationto be employed in. each particular case to obtain.the'desireddegreeof inhibition of corrosion-:with minimum: concentration of sodium mercaptobenzothiazole ,may; bedetermined by immersing testpieces .of the same kind of ferrous metaliwhose'corrosion' is to be inhibited in samples: of the liquid to :be treated to which-have been added :varying amounts. of 'sodiummercaptobenzothiazole, andzcomparing-the extent of corrosion of;.eachrtestpieee-after a suitable immersiontime .with the amount of sodium' mercaptobenzothiazole in the samples of liquid.
preparing thesolution; However, saline waters.
mayalso be employed althoughtheir use is to be avoided since salt in-large concentra-tions :causes some degree of: precipitation ofthe sodium mercaptobenzothiazole; In this. connection, where the aliquidto betreatedcontains. salt. water, it is desirable to-employ'larger'.conoentrations of sodium mercaptobenzothiazole than'would be employed. if the liquid contained non-saline water.
Where corrosion:incan'oilwellis to be inhibited, the'sodium mercaptobenzothiazole may be intro duced into the wellbetween-the'tubing and the casing.v Gas-Wells may be similarly treated; the sodium-mercaptobenzothiazole admixingwith the water at the bottom of the well and inhibiting corrosion of ferrous metal equipment of the well contactedby th water lifted upwardly by the flow of gas. Crude-oil or liquid petroleum-products :to-be transported inapipe line system may betreated by adding .sodium mercaptobenzothiazole thereto-prior.- to-or at thetime of entering the :pipe line-system or may be-added subsequent toentering the pipeline systemibyinjecting into the pipelinesystem at a desired point or points. Waste wateninjected .into water disposal .wells may @be:treatedbyadmixing the sodium mercaptobenzothiazole therewith prior--to injection of. the .water intothe disposal well. If thecrude oilor. gas .fromwhich the wateris separatedhas been previously treated. with. sodium. mercaptobenzothiazole. the .watermay ,-contain,.-suflicient with sodium; mercaptobenzothiazole 4 sodium mercaptobenzothiazole to inhibit corrosion and no further treatment will be necessary. However, if insufficient sodium mercaptobenzothiazole is contained in the water, an additional amount may be added.
Thefollowing examples will. be illustrative of the-results to be obtained by the/process of the invention.
Example I In an oilnwell in the Brownfield District in Texas producing on the average 38 barrels of crude oil and 5 barrels of water per day, the ferrous: metal equipment in contact with the produced well liquidsi was being corroded at a rate of 0.0015 inch of penetration per year. This well was treatedbypumping sodium mercaptobenzothiazole in water solution between the tubing and the casing in amounts such that the concentration of sodium mercaptobenzothiazole in the total well liquids was 100 parts per million by weight." Thetreatment-was-continued for six months. During the first three months of 1 treatment the corrosion rate was reduced to'0.0005 inch'of penetration per'yean'a-decrease of 67 per cent, and during the second three-months of treatment the corrosion rate was'reduced to 0.0001 inch of-penetration-per=year-,- a decrease of 93 percent.
Example II Inanother wellin the same district producing on the average 38barrels of. crude oil and28 barrelsof. .water per day,,. the corrosion rate was 0.0078 inch.of..penetration.per year. Treatment in the amount of .10 parts .per millionv by weight of the totalwell liquidsswas. instituted and continued for two months. The corrosion rate was reduced to 0.0037 inch of. penetration per year, a decrease of. 53. percent. Thereafter, the concentration of sodium. mercaptobenzothiazole was increased to 100 parts per millionby weight .of the'total well liquidsand continued fora period of four months. The corrosionrate .was. reduced to 0.0023 .inch of penetration per. year, a decrease .of. 69 percent.
