Abstract
Failure resulting from corrosion in gravity-water injection (GWI) wells is a major concern in the Abqaiq field, Saudi Arabia. This paper presents alternatives investigated to prolong the life of the wells, results of in-situ corrosion tests of 13% Cr steel alloy, and studies of the effect of coupling 13% Cr alloy with carbon steel.
