Coupling agents for use in corrosion inhibiting compositions

A method of inhibiting corrosion of metal surfaces, the method comprising:

• contacting at least one metal surface with a corrosion inhibition composition comprising:
• at least one coupling agent selected from the group consisting of one or more ether amines, one or more ether amine oxides, and at least one combination thereof, and
• about 50 ppm to about 500 ppm of at least one corrosion inhibitor comprising:
• at least an alkynol comprising 3,5-dimethyl-1-hexyn-3-ol;
• and
• one or more thiophosphates, one or more polyphosphate esters, one or more imidazolines, one or more quinolones, or at least one combination thereof.

A method of treating a subterranean hydrocarbon producing formation with a corrosion inhibiting composition such that corrosive effects of an acidizing composition on metal surfaces in contact therewith are reduced, comprising:

• contacting a subterranean zone with the corrosion inhibiting composition comprising:
• at least one coupling agent selected from the group consisting of one or more ether amines, one or more ether amine oxides, and at least one combinations thereof, and
• about 50 ppm to about 500 ppm of at least one corrosion inhibitor comprising:
• at least an alkynol comprising 3,5-dimethyl-1-hexyn-3-ol;
• and
• one or more thiophosphates, one or more polyphosphate esters, one or more imidazolines, one or more quinolones, or at least one combination thereof.
