CO₂ Corrosion

Internal CO₂ corrosion is a major problem for oil and gas transporting pipelines made from mild steel. The cost of the long pipelines is often a considerable part of the overall investment. The economic impact of improved understanding and control of CO₂ corrosion is large. Building a major pipeline in mild steel instead of stainless steel can result in a saving measured by tens and even hundreds of millions of dollars.
