Nanomaterials as Innovative Technology for Corrosion Control in Petroleum Fields

In oil production plants, many cases of extensive corrosion have occurred in production tubing, valves, and in flow lines from the wellhead to the processing equipment. The reason for this is that oil and gas from the well contain varying amounts of water, which can be precipitated as a separate phase in contact with the material surface, and that this water contains gases such as CO2 and possibly H2S, as well as salts [1]
