Definitions

  • the present invention belongs to the field of corrosion inhibitors and to the methods for inhibiting corrosion m pipes, pumps and other metallic materials that can be in contact with highly acidic solutions used in the stimulation of oil wells and the like.
  • Hydrocarbons (petroleum, natural gas, etc) are obtained from an underground geological formation (in other words, a deposit) by drilling a well that penetrates the geological formation containing said hydrocarbons.
  • a deposit is an underground rocky body that is sufficiently porous and permeable to store and transmit fluids.
  • the recovery of hydrocarbons varies due to factors related to the heterogeneity of the deposit (type of rocky body forming it), the type of fluid produced, the drainage mechanisms, etc.
  • Hydrocarbon producers normally carry out stimulation techniques with acid to increase the overall permeability of the deposit, creating conducting routes from the deposit to the well and passing through the area surrounding the well which has been damaged during the drilling and foundation .
  • the stimulation techniques include: (1) injecting chemical products into the well to react with and to dissolve the area surrounding the well which has been damaged; (2) injecting chemical products through the well and into the geological formation to react with and to dissolve small portions of rock to create small conducting channels (conducting wormholes) through which the hydrocarbon will flow (so that rather than eliminating the damaged areas, the hydrocarbon is re-directed through said areas);
  • acids or acid-based liquids are used for this purpose due to their ability to dissolve minerals and pollutants introduced in the well during drilling or recovery operations.
  • the most common agents used in well stimulation with acids are mineral acids such as hydrochloric (HCl) and/or hydrofluoric acid (HF), generally in the form of 15% by weight acid solutions.
  • a problem inherent to stimulation with acids is the corrosion of the pump equipment and of the pipes of the well caused by contact with the acid, although the petroleum and natural gas or the water entrained therewith also contain corrosive components, for example, CO 2 or H 2 S and salts, leading to severe corrosion of the metallic surfaces. Furthermore, the working liquids used in this field, for example, the sludge for the sweeping of the drillings, contribute to corrosion.
  • the so-called corrosion inhibitors are used for protection against corrosion, and are added to the liquids which come into contact with metallic surfaces. Corrosion inhibitors either form a film on the metallic surface or reduce the corrosion process by means of physical and chemical reactions on metallic surfaces.

Hydrocarbons (petroleum, natural gas, etc) are obtained from an underground geological formation (in other words, a deposit) by drilling a well that penetrates the geological formation containing said hydrocarbons. A deposit is an underground rocky body that is sufficiently porous and permeable to store and transmit fluids.
The recovery of hydrocarbons varies due to factors related to the heterogeneity of the deposit (type of rocky body forming it), the type of fluid produced, the drainage mechanisms, etc.
Hydrocarbon producers normally carry out stimulation techniques with acid to increase the overall permeability of the deposit, creating conducting routes from the deposit to the well and passing through the area surrounding the well which has been damaged during the drilling and foundation .
The stimulation techniques include: (1) injecting chemical products into the well to react with and to dissolve the area surrounding the well which has been damaged; (2) injecting chemical products through the well and into the geological formation to react with and to dissolve small portions of rock to create small conducting channels (conducting wormholes) through which the hydrocarbon will flow (so that rather than eliminating the damaged areas, the hydrocarbon is re-directed through said areas);
(3) injecting chemical products through the well and forming pressures sufficient to really break up the rock, thus creating a large flow channel allowing the hydrocarbon to migrate rapidly from the rock to the well.
Normally, acids or acid-based liquids are used for this purpose due to their ability to dissolve minerals and pollutants introduced in the well during drilling or recovery operations. The most common agents used in well stimulation with acids are mineral acids such as hydrochloric (HCl) and/or hydrofluoric acid (HF), generally in the form of 15% by weight acid solutions.
A problem inherent to stimulation with acids is the corrosion of the pump equipment and of the pipes of the well caused by contact with the acid, although the petroleum and natural gas or the water entrained therewith also contain corrosive components, for example, CO2 or H2S and salts, leading to severe corrosion of the metallic surfaces. Furthermore, the working liquids used in this field, for example, the sludge for the sweeping of the drillings, contribute to corrosion.
Therefore, the so-called corrosion inhibitors are used for protection against corrosion, and are added to the liquids which come into contact with metallic surfaces. Corrosion inhibitors either form a film on the metallic surface or reduce the corrosion process by means of physical and chemical reactions on metallic surfaces. Additives for very acidic solutions which, on one hand, are not only effective as corrosion inhibitors but also do not increase the environmental risks of the process, have been sought for some time. Innumerable compositions containing amines, quaternary ammonium compounds, acetylene alcohols and/or ethoxylated phenol type surfactants, are described in the state of the art. Said compounds are considered to be to be hazardous for the environment. On the other hand, patent US-A-3589860 describes the use of cinnamaldehyde or derivatives thereof as a corrosion inhibitor for equipment used in chemical processes and for petroleum extraction equipment in contact with acid media.
Patent US-A-4734259 describes a composition and a method for inhibiting corrosive aqueous fluid attack on metals by means of a composition including an α, β- unsaturated aldehyde and a surfactant. Cinnamaldehyde and derivatives thereof are included among the preferred α, β- unsaturated aldehydes. Alkylaryl sulphonates, quaternary ammonium compounds and alkyl and alkylaryl polyether alcohols are among the preferred surfactants.
Patent US-A-5120471 describes a composition for inhibiting steel corrosion containing more than 9% of chromium in the presence of at least one mineral acid, said composition comprising: a) an organic inhibitor selected from the group consisting of phenylacetone, phenylacetone with a quaternary ammonium salt of a heterocyclic aromatic compound, and cinnamaldehyde with a quaternary ammonium salt of a heterocyclic aromatic compound; and b) a compound soluble in acid of antimony or bismuth type.
Patent US-A-5854180 describes a composition for inhibiting corrosion caused by hydrochloride acid solutions used for acidifying petroleum wells, in which said composition comprises a) 10-30% by weight of cinnamaldehyde or substituted cinnamaldehyde; b) 20-50% by weight of ethylene glycol; c) 5-20% by weight of C8-Ci2 ethoxylated alcohols; d) 1-15% by weight of a composition containing 10-40% by weight of isopropanol and of a reaction product of a ketone with 3-9 carbon atoms, urea, thiourea or alkyl- substituted thiourea, benzaldehyde or formaldehyde and hydrochloric acid.
Finally, patents US-A-6068056 and US-B-6399547 describe compositions used for stimulating petroleum wells comprising: an acid, such as hydrochloric acid, water, an aliphatic aldehyde with 1-10 carbon atoms and an aromatic aldehyde with 7-20 carbon atoms. Preferred aliphatic aldehydes are glyoxalic acid and glyoxal. A preferred aromatic aldehyde is cinnamaldehyde.
Although some compositions from the state of the art have reached a certain degree of effectiveness against corrosion, they are questionable from an environmental point of view in some cases. On the other hand, given that cinnamaldehyde and/or substituted cinnamaldehyde are quite expensive, it is necessary to develop corrosion inhibitors for acids that provide an efficient technical performance that overcome the environmental and financial drawbacks set forth. Object of the Invention
Surprisingly, the combination of cinnamaldehyde and/or substituted cinnamaldehyde with urea provides a corrosion inhibiting composition reducing the attack of several aqueous fluids, such as aqueous acids, against ferrous metals, such as iron and steel, as well as against non- ferrous metals, such as aluminium, zinc and copper.
The inventors have observed a synergistic effect when the components of the composition of the invention are combined, providing corrosion inhibition thereof order or greater than the ones of compositions containing only cinnamaldehyde and/or substituted cinnamaldehyde and much greater than compositions containing only urea Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a composition for inhibiting the corrosion of metals in a fluid aqueous medium comprising:
(a) cinnamaldehyde and/or substituted cinnamaldehyde, and (b) urea.
Another object of the present invention relates to an acid-type aqueous solution comprising a composition for inhibiting metal corrosion according to the invention and an acid. A method for stimulating an underground rocky formation consisting of placing an acid-type aqueous solution of the invention into contact with an underground rocky formation forms part of the object of the invention.

The following examples are set forth with the purpose of providing a sufficiently clear and complete explanation of the present invention to the person skilled in the art, but they must not be considered as limiting to the essential aspects of the object of the invention as they have been set forth in the foregoing sections of this description. Examples Example 1
A test is carried out to determine the corrosion inhibition properties, as described below: 1. Cold-rolled, low carbon content steel test pieces, of the Fill-type according to the UNE (a Spanish standard) denomination, with dimensions of 40x20x2 mm (height x width x thickness) are taken and the surface thereof is polished with sandpaper. Then, they are degreased by introducing them into a container with isopropyl alcohol and they are left in an ultrasound bath for 3 minutes. They are air- dried and weighed in a balance with an accuracy of ± 0.001 g- 2. 70 ml of concentrated 15% HCl (obtained by diluting commercial concentrated 37% HCl) is added in Pyrex glass bottles with screw-on closure. Then 1.0% (700 microlitres) of the corrosion inhibitor, the compositions of which are shown in Table 1, is added.
3. The previous mixture is shaken manually and subsequently a degreased and weighed (according to 1) steel test piece is introduced into each glass bottle in a vertical position such that it is completely covered by the acid solution.
4. Once the test piece is introduced into the glass bottle containing the acid solution, the bottle is closed by screwing on the cap and introduced into an autoclave containing water. It is kept for 2 hours at a pressure of 1.2 bar and 1200C. Subsequently, it is cooled for 2 more hours inside the autoclave. When the bottle is removed, it is at about 60-700C.
5. Subsequently, the steel test piece is removed with pincers, is introduced in a 10% sodium bicarbonate bath so as to neutralize the remaining acid and then it is cleaned by rubbing the surface of the plate with a brush and soapy water. Afterwards, it is cleaned first with limonene and then with isopropyl alcohol. It is air-dried and then weighed with an accuracy of ± 0.001 g. Corrosion (corrosion rate) is presented as the loss of mass in grams per square metre and hour (g/m2.h) .
The lesser the difference in mass between before and after the treatment with acid in the autoclave, the greater is the inhibiting power of the evaluated composition. Table 2 shows the average values obtained for the compositions detailed in Table 1 when tests are carried out in duplicate. Table 1

Figure imgf000019_0002
It can be seen in Table 2 that by combining cmnamaldehyde ( trans-cinnamaldehyde) and urea, values of protection against corrosion are obtained that are higher than the ones obtained with only cmnamaldehyde or with urea .
On the other hand, adding a surfactant (of the alkyl betaine type) to the cinnamaldehyde-urea mixture allows increasing the protection against corrosion.
Example 2
A new series of experiments is carried out in the same experimental conditions as the ones described in Example 1. The differences are the composition of the corrosion inhibitors detailed in Table 3 and the dose used of said inhibitors, in this case, 0.75% (525 microlitres) to 70 ml of the 15% hydrochloric acid solution.
Furthermore, 3% (2.1 g) of KI has been used as an intensifying agent in this new series of experiments.
Table 4 shows the values obtained for the compositions detailed in Table 3 when the tests are carried out in duplicate .

Table 4
Figure imgf000021_0001
It can be observed in Table 4 that the intensifying agent allows obtaining values of protection against corrosion that are higher than the ones obtained in its absence
On the other hand, sample 14 has values of protection against corrosion of the same order as the ones obtained with only cmnamaldehyde (sample C3), which involves obtaining equally efficient and more economical formulations
Finally, samples 11, 12 and 13 achieve a significant decrease in the corrosion rate, which involves obtaining more efficient and economical formulations.
Example 3
A new series of experiments is carried out in the same experimental conditions as the ones described in Example 2. The only difference is the composition of the corrosion inhibitors detailed in Table 3. In this new series of corrosion inhibitor samples, the cmnamaldehyde and urea of sample 13 have been proportionally substituted with other components, maintaining the total sum of active components in the formulation. Table 6 shows the values obtained for the compositions detailed in Table 5 when the tests are carried out in duplicate.
