Corrosion Inhibition of Benzyl Quinoline Chloride Derivative-Based Formulation for Acidizing Process
Development and implementation of a more effective and environmentally friendly acidizing corrosion inhibitor derived from benzyl quinoline chloride to mitigate rapid corrosion of metal-based drilling equipment.
The Research Council of Norway’s $118,000 grant will support development of longer fishbone laterals to raise production while lowering carbon footprints.
This paper describes an effort to use multiple technologies to better understand an Arkoma Basin reservoir and the interdisciplinary relationship between the reservoir’s subsurface hazards and a stimulation treatment.

Hydrochloric acid continues to be the most effective and low-cost material for carbonate stimulation. Though exotic chemistries such as chelating agents and organic acids have been promoted for being less corrosive at high temperatures, the cost and dissolving capacity limit their use to large-scale implementation. The ability to inhibit the corrosion tendency of hydr…
