Corrosion is one of the significant issues in oilfield drilling operations, and it happens in various forms for various reasons. In simple terms, corrosion is the deterioration of a metal and its properties caused by acids, corrosive salts, corrosive gases such as H2S and CO2, and perhaps most notably by dissolved oxygen. Corrosion also occurs when two dissimilar metals come in contact together. During oilfield drilling and production operation, various metallic structures, pipes, and equipment encounter acidic and gaseous elements such as Oxygen and related chemical species such as CO2, H2S, SO2, Sulfur, Chlorides, Fluorides, Organic, and Inorganic acids, etc. in various forms and chemically react and over time it causes the failure of those parts, components, and equipment. Every year, corrosion failure causes billions of dollars in damage worldwide and catastrophic accidents.
The accident occurs in the form of pipe and equipment failure. Oilfield drilling and production companies invest significant resources to protect operation equipment and assets from corrosion. Corrosion inhibitors are essential in protecting operation equipment and assets from corrosion. Oilfield chemical suppliers offer a wide range of corrosion inhibitors, and they protect against corrosion through various mechanisms. However, most of those inhibitors fall into the amine category, and it’s well-known that amine-based chemicals pose dangerous health and environmental threats and contaminate soil, water, and living species there. A perfect corrosion inhibitor must protect oilfield equipment in the long run and, at the same time, be safe and environmentally friendly.
At Centum, scientists and engineers have been researching and experimenting on commercial corrosion inhibitors and their effectiveness in protecting corrosion and environmental friendliness for over a decade. After years of research and experiments, we have developed EverGuard. Our engineered corrosion inhibitor offers maximum corrosion inhibition in extreme onshore and offshore geological conditions and, at the same time, is safe and environmentally friendly. At Centum, we can custom-engineer corrosion inhibitors based on your drilling and specification needs. We help oilfield operators to meet their ESG goals and regulatory restrictions.
Centum’s EverGuard results from years of non-stop research, development, and innovation. Our designed and engineered EverGuard is one of the most effective corrosion inhibitors on the market. It helps to protect onshore and offshore oilfield equipment in the long run and at its best by creating a protective passive layer on the metallic surface and scavenging corrosion-prone chemicals. Our innovative formula, EverGuard, offers an advanced level of corrosion protection in all possible aspects. Importantly, it is sustainable, readily, and ultimately biodegradable and poses no risks to its environment and living species. It is non-toxic, does not contaminate reservoir, soil, or water, and can be readily blended in oil and water-based drilling fluids. EverGuard is suitable for onshore and offshore drilling and production operations. It is designed to offer drilling and production engineers performance and sustainability simultaneously. Most importantly, it saves oilfield operation costs significantly.
