Abstract

The effect of Cr- and Si-addition on the oxidation behavior of N80 carbon steel for gas injection well tubing was investigated at 450-650 ^oC in a laboratory made oxidation atmosphere, with the aim to simulate the combustion flame products during the oil field fire-flooding process is adopted for oil production. The results showed that the addition of 3%Cr and 5%Cr (mass fraction) respectively may facilitate the steel to form a thick oxide scale composed of Fe₂O₃ and (Fe, Cr)₃O₄, and the oxide scale underwent serious flaking, while the simultaneous addition of 0.5%Si and 5%Cr can not only improve the oxidation resistance of the steel but also significantly inhibit the flaking of the oxide scale, and the addition of 9%Cr may favor the formation of a protective Cr₂O₃ scale. Furthermore, CrS was found in the inner oxide scale of the N80 steel with the simultaneous addition of 0.5%Si and 5%Cr, while no obvious CrS was found with the addition of 9%Cr. Therefore, the addition of alloying elements Cr and Si can significantly improve the oxidation resistance of N80 carbon steel tubing for gas injection wells.

Key words: high temperature oxidation alloying elements(Cr, Si) oxidation kinetics fire-flooding
