Corrosion Inhibitor Program Management and Corrosion Rate Tracking

A corrosion inhibitor program is an integrity program with a chemical invoice attached. Prodesy links inhibitor rate, residuals, coupon and probe data and production per well, so protection is verified rather than assumed.

Closing the loop on corrosion protection

Corrosion inhibitor oil and gas programs generate four data sets that rarely meet: injection rate, residual concentration, coupon or probe corrosion rate and fluid production. Prodesy holds all four per well and per date. A residual that falls while injection stays on target points to a production change; a coupon rate that climbs with residuals intact points to a chemistry problem. Either way, the answer is in the data instead of in a workover.

What Prodesy tracks

  • Continuous and batch inhibitor treatment vs target (compliance)
  • Residual concentrations per well from the lab workflow
  • Coupon weight loss, pitting rate and probe readings
  • Water chemistry: iron, manganese, chlorides, pH
  • Batch schedules for pipeline and downhole treatments with completion tracking
  • Cost per BOE for the integrity program

For producers and vendors

Producers use the corrosion view to defend integrity budgets and to hold vendors to residual targets. Vendors use it to show the customer that the program is protecting the asset, not just consuming chemical. Combine it with the H2S scavenger and biocide programs for a full integrity picture.

Frequently asked questions

Does Prodesy integrate corrosion probe data?

Yes. Probe readings are imported through telemetry integration or entered from the lab workflow.

Can we set residual targets and alert on them?

Yes. Residual thresholds per well trigger alerts and can schedule a batch or a sample.

Does it work for pipeline batch programs?

Yes. Pipeline batches are scheduled, tracked and reconciled, with coupon locations mapped to segments.
