Corrosion inhibitors
Corrosion inhibitors are chemical additives used in acid treatments to protect iron and steel components in the wellbore and treating equipment from the corrosive treating fluid. This protection must remain effective under the anticipated pressure and temperature environment for the duration of the treatment. It forms a layer on the surface of the material that stops the destructive influence of corrosive agents on the metal. It eliminates more than 99% of the metal losses that would occur if the inhibitor were not present.
