Corrosion management systems for vertically oriented structures

摘要

Corrosion management systems protecting against or managing corrosion of various components in generally vertically oriented structures, that can be located one or more of aboveground and underground. The corrosion management system includes a dispenser system that dispenses at least one corrosion inhibitor to the structure desired to be protected at a plurality of different vertical heights.

主权项

1. A well including a corrosion management system, comprising:
a casing extending a vertical distance; tubing located within the casing and extending a vertical distance; a gas-containing well space extending a vertical distance between the casing and tubing; and a corrosion management system adapted to provide a corrosion inhibitor composition to an outer surface of at least a portion of the tubing located in the well space, the corrosion management system comprising:a reservoir having an inlet adapted to receive a corrosion inhibitor composition and an outlet;
a first conduit having a first end connected to the outlet; a first holding container located at a vertical height below the reservoir and operatively connected to a second end of the conduit and having a compartment adapted to receive a volume of the corrosion inhibitor composition and expose the corrosion inhibitor composition to an ambient atmosphere; a second conduit having a first end connected to the first holding container for receiving overflow corrosion inhibitor composition therefrom; and a second holding container operatively connected to an outlet of the second conduit and having a compartment adapted to hold a volume of the corrosion inhibitor composition and expose the corrosion inhibitor composition to the ambient atmosphere, the second holding container located at a vertical height below the first holding container, and wherein at least the first holding container, second holding container, and the second conduit are located in the well space.
