Abstract: Storage wells tend to be long lived, and are subject to a maximum pressure every year. Gas passes through the pipelines both into and out of the wells during the course of a year. Storage wells are a vertical extension of the pipeline. Many storage wells are old production wells that have been converted to storage. Due to the long life of storage wells as well as the gas passage, corrosion is an ever-present concern. Well completions, fluids, and gas chemistry can cause corrosion in storage wells. Corrosion in storage wells can cause leaks, resulting in the loss of storage gas, loss of deliverability, and possibly property damage. The corrosion problems require time, effort, and money to repair. A few simple procedures can monitor and reduce the corrosion problems, and add efficiency to the wells.
