Abstract

A corrosion inhibitor composition and method of inhibiting corrosion on a surface in an oil or gas application is disclosed and claimed. The corrosion inhibitor includes at least one fatty acid; at least one alkanolamine; at least one alkylamine; and at least one organic sulfonic acid. The method of inhibiting corrosion includes on a surface in an oil or gas application comprises contacting an effective dosage of the corrosion inhibitor with the surface.

Claims (22)

1. A corrosion inhibitor composition comprising:

a salt having formula (2):

optionally at least one alkylamine; and

a salt having formula (6):

2. The corrosion inhibitor of claim 1 , further comprising at least one dispersant.

3. The corrosion inhibitor of claim 2 , wherein the at least one dispersant comprises at least one oxyalkylate polymer.

4. The corrosion inhibitor of claim 1 , further comprising at least one solvent.

5. The corrosion inhibitor of claim. 4 , wherein the at least one solvent comprises at least one selected from methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, isobutanol, aromatic hydrocarbons, monoethyleneglycol, ethyleneglycolmonobutylether, and combinations thereof.

6. The corrosion inhibitor of claim 1 , comprising the following formula (1) using dimethylalkanolamines with trimer acid:

7. The corrosion inhibitor of claim 1 , comprising the following formula (3) using dimethylalkanolamines with tall oil:

8. The corrosion inhibitor composition of claim 1 , comprising the following formula (4) using dimethylalkanolamines with tall oil:

9. The corrosion inhibitor composition of claim 1 , comprising the following formula (5) using dimethylalkanolamines with branched dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid:

10. The corrosion inhibitor composition of claim 1 , comprising about 10 wt % to about 100 wt % of corrosion inhibitor actives.

11. A method of inhibiting corrosion on a surface in an oil or gas application, the method comprising contacting an effective dosage of the corrosion inhibitor of claim 1 with the surface.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the effective dosage range is between about 10 ppm to about 10,000 ppm.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising dosing the corrosion inhibitor into an annulus of a well; allowing the dosed corrosion inhibitor to navels into the well; and recovering the corrosion inhibitor with a produced fluid thereby avoiding entering a formation.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore comprising pumping through well tubular goods and injecting into the subterranean formation the effective dosage of said corrosion inhibitor to inhibit corrosion of metallic surfaces of said well tubular goods in contact with said composition.

15. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising:

a salt having formula (1):

a salt having formula (3):

a salt having formula (4):

a Salt having formula (5):
