12、E International i _ Foreword Downhole corrosion of sucker-rod thread joints can be effectively controlled using an inhibited thread lubricant. This standard materials requirement provides a method of selecting effective sucker-rod thread lubricants for use by oilfield production operators. This stan
13、dard was originally prepared in 1974 by NACE Task Group T-1D-11 on Selecting Inhibitors for Use as Sucker Rod Thread Lubricants, in response to a request from the American Petroleum Institute (API).(1) It was reaffirmed in 1988 and 1995 by Unit Committee T-1D on Corrosion Monitoring and Control of C
14、orrosion Environments in Petroleum Production Operations, and in 2001 and 2007 by Specific Technology Group (STG) 31 on Oil and Gas Production- Corrosion and Scale Inhibition. It is issued by NACE International under the auspices of STG 31. In NACE standards, the terms shall, must, should, and may a
15、re used in accordance with the definitions of these terms in the NACE Publications Style Manual, 4th ed., Paragraph 7.4.1.9. Shall and must are used to state mandatory requirements.

19、s. 1.3 This standard is not a test method. Recommended procedures for testing inhibitors in simulated environments in which they are to be used are described in Section 3. The tests may be run in simulated sweet, sour, aerated, or combination environments with simulated well fluids or actual field f
20、luids. _ Section 2: Inhibited Thread Lubricant Requirements 2.1 The inhibited thread lubricant should be an effective corrosion inhibitor and should prevent thread galling during make-up. 2.2 When adding inhibitor to lubricant, an undiluted inhibitor is considered preferable and should remain effect
21、ive longer than diluted inhibitor mixes. 2.2.1 If the undiluted inhibitor solution has been properly formulated, it can also function as a satisfactory lubricant that prevents galling. Use of a single inhibitor formulation eliminates the need for stocking and using extra materials. 2.2.2 In cold wea
22、ther conditions, a material with a pour point sufficiently low to permit its use in the coldest weather to be encountered should be used. 2.3 Despite the stated preference for an undiluted inhibitor formulation, nonseparating mixtures of inhibitors in fluids such as diesel oil and alcohol have been
23、found to be effective and may be acceptable if they pass tests such as those recommended in Section 3 (for example, see Table 1: 99 parts No. 2 diesel oil,2 1 part inhibitor). _ Section 3: Inhibited Thread Lubricant Selection 3.1 The corrosion inhibitor used as a sucker-rod thread lubricant or used
24、in an inhibitor/lubricant mixture should be a proven corrosion inhibitor for the environment, i.e., for the specific wells and type of production. If there is a lack of experience in an area, corrosion screening tests such as the one outlined in Paragraph 3.2 should be performed to select an inhibit
25、or. Such tests also may be used to verify the effectiveness of an inhibitor/lubricant mixture. Because the inhibitor or inhibitor/lubricant mixture must prevent galling of sucker-rod threads, galling tests such as the one outlined in Paragraph 3.3 should be performed. The inhibited lubricant must no
26、t allow galling at ambient or elevated temperatures. 3.2 Corrosion Tests: A proposed undiluted inhibitor or inhibitor/lubricant mix should be tested under severe simulated thread use conditions. The test should evaluate the performance of the product in boxes that will be exposed to corrosive fluids
27、 by simulating the most aggressive environment that will be encountered in use. Table 1 gives data from a test that has been used. Briefly, the procedure was as follows:3 3.2.1 Mild steel coupons were immersed in the product to be evaluated. This is the least favorable means of applying a lubricant
28、film. Spraying or brushing, which is sometimes used in field service, tends to apply a better film of lubricant. 3.2.2 The metal, filmed as prescribed in Paragraph 3.2.1, was then immersed in corrosive fluids for 72 hours at 71C (160F). Corrosive fluids used to obtain the results shown in Table 1 we
29、re: 10 mL oil (high-flash, low-viscosity paraffin distillate oil); 90 mL synthetic brine (10% sodium chloride, 0.5% calcium chloride); and 1 mL of 6% acetic acid (equivalent to 600 ppm acetic acid in test mixture). This mixture was sparged with carbon dioxide (CO2) for five minutes. MR0174-2007 2 NA
30、CE International 3.2.3 For sour conditions, the test fluids should be sparged with hydrogen sulfide (H2S) for five minutes. The test temperature should be 50C (122F). Safety precautions in handling H2S are described in Appendix A (mandatory). 3.2.4 For critical usages, final selection of thread lubr
31、icant should be governed by the results of additional tests in which field fluids are used as the corrosive fluids, in the specific environment (sweet, sour, aerated, or combination), and at the temperature considered most critical.

37、 mix should be tested to evaluate its performance in preventing galling of sucker-rod threads. The following test is an example of one that can be used for this purpose. 3.3.1 Test piece: 19-mm (0.75-in.) diameter API grade C or grade D rod with an API grade T coupling. 3.3.1.1 Room-temperature test
38、: The inhibited lubricant to be tested shall be applied to the rod threads by spraying or brushing. The coupling shall then be applied, torqued to 700 N-m (500 ft-lb), loosened, and retorqued to 700 N-m (500 ft-lb) for a minimum of ten times. 3.3.1.2 Elevated temperature test: Test procedure shall b
39、e the same as in Paragraph 3.3.1.1 with one additional step. After the coupling has been torqued to 700 N-m (500 ft-lb), the joint shall be baked for eight hours at 93C (200F). After cooling, the joint shall then be loosened and retorqued a minimum of 10 times. 3.3.2 An inhibited lubricant is satisf
40、actory if no galling of threads is evident after torquing ten times. _ References 1.
