General

This standard presents guidelines for minimizing acid corrosion in oilfield environments. Corrosion mechanisms include general corrosion, pitting, and stress corrosion cracking (SCC). Topics covered include well preparation, acid solution preparation, pumping, and injection, and return fluids handling.

This standard presents a field test of oilfield acid with HCl concentrations of 15% or less in the presence or absence of corrosion inhibitors.

This standard presents a laboratory test for corrosion inhibitor solubility and dispersibility in oilfield acids.
