Carbon dioxide (CO2) may be contained in the oil and gas as a light impurity or it may be injected in the reservoir during enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The presence of CO2 with water in oil transported through a steel pipe forms a suitable environment for corrosion initiation. The corrosion propagat...
