Preferential weld corrosion (PWC) has proved problematic for the oil and gas industry for a number of years. Although the effect of high flow rates on PWC in inhibited CO2-saturated solutions has been studied by authors, the consideration of a higher, localised turbulence over the weld material and the implications this has on PWC appears minimal. This work considers this very effect, along with developing an understanding of the threats posed to weld integrity by sand particle presence in the process fluid using a submerged impinging jet (SIJ) apparatus. Experiments were conducted using a commercially available film-forming oilfield corrosion inhibitor which was evaluated in both flow-induced corrosion and erosion-corrosion environments in its ability to control PWC. The SIJ setup allowed control over the individual flow velocities at each nozzle, meaning shear stress could be intensified over the 1% Ni-0.25% Mo weld material to simulate localised turbulence at the sample surface. Galvanic current and mixed potential measurements were performed to ascertain changes in galvanic interactions between the two materials. The work demonstrates that localised turbulence over internal weld beads and the presence of sand within oil and gas systems can influence PWC in certain environments. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
