Corrosion prediction for integrity assessment of metal tubular structures

A method of manufacturing an integrity assessment data product, the method comprising:

• Receiving one or more inputs;
• Applying a combined model including semi-empirical and multiphase flow corrosion characteristics to the one or more inputs based at least on an injection component;
• Applying an algorithm to select an appropriate model for a given corrosion scenario;
• Determining one or more corrosion parameters of either an internal pipe wall or an external pipe surface;
• Applying a corrosion correlation value to the one or more corrosion parameters to produce one or more correlated corrosion parameters;
• and
• Recording the one or more correlated corrosion parameters on one or more tangible, non-volatile computer-readable media thereby creating the integrity assessment data product.

A system for assessing an integrity of metal tubular structures comprising:

• An information handling system comprising:
• At least one memory operable to store computer-executable instructions;
• At least one communications interface to access the at least one memory;
• and
• At least one processor configured to access the at least one memory via the at least one communications interface and execute the computer-executable instructions to:
• Receive one or more inputs;
• Apply a combined model including semi-empirical and multiphase flow corrosion characteristics to the one or more inputs based at least on an injection component;
• Apply an algorithm to automatically select an appropriate model fora given corrosion scenario;
• Determine a corrosion parameter of either an internal pipe wall or an external pipe surface;
• Apply a corrosion correlation value to the corrosion parameter to produce a correlated corrosion parameter;
• and
• Store the correlated corrosion parameter on a computer readable medium.
