    Corrosion Rings

    Corrosion rings are designed to measure corrosion in drill pipes during drilling operations. They are manufactured from steel similar to drill pipes and placed in sets of two in the drill string. Corrosion rings provide an economical way to monitor drill pipe condition, evaluate corrosion inhibitor treatments, and identify causes of corrosion. Drilling conditions are recorded during exposure periods of the rings in order to analyze scale buildup and pitting after removal.

    Corrosion Rings

    GENERAL

    SPECIFICATIONS

    Corrosion rings are designed to measure the


    corrosive effects of drilling fluid environments on drill
    pipe. Due to the extremely corrosive conditions
    present when drilling, including erosion from high
    sand content, sudden wall failures leading to blowouts
    can occur. They are particularly valuable in locations
    containing sour gas, oxygenated fluids and salt water.

    Typically manufactured from steel with similar


    chemical and mechanical properties as drill pipe,
    every ring has a machined finish and a stamped serial
    number linking it to its initial weight stored in the
    Caproco database. Each corrosion ring comes
    individually packaged in a vapor-inhibiting envelope
    to prevent atmospheric corrosion. Plastic insulated
    rings are also available upon request.

    Corrosion rings are an economical and accurate


    method of monitoring drill pipe condition during
    drilling operations, and help in evaluating the
    effectiveness of corrosion inhibitor treatment
    programs. Examining scale and pitting on the
    exposed rings can help in identifying the causes of
    corrosion and aid in selecting proper mitigation
    techniques.
    APPLICATION
    It is recommended to use corrosion rings in sets
    of two, locating them at the top and bottom of the drill
    string. The first ring is sized to fit in the tool box
    recess of the first single above the crossover sub.
    The second ring is placed in the box end of the first
    single below the kelly saver sub. Note that both
    boxes should be cleaned and clean dry gloves used
    during installation of the corrosion rings. The rings
    are sized to have the same bore as that of the tool
    joint to minimize turbulence effects.
    Corrosion rings should be kept in the drill string for
    a minimum of 40 hours, as exposure periods shorter
    than this may show unusually high initial corrosion
    rates. They can be left in for more than one bit run.
    Rings are typically in place for two to ten days,
    depending on the corrosiveness of the environment.
    Drilling conditions during exposure should be
    recorded, including: ring serial number, drilling fluid
    properties, chemicals additives, location of ring in the
    drill string, initial weight, time in, depth in, depth out,
    time out, % of sand and solids, color of scale and any
    general remarks. Once removed, the rings should be
    placed in their original envelopes and sent in for
    analysis.

    Due to the variation in drill pipe box sizes,


    Caproco offers corrosion rings in a variety of sizes
    and will custom manufacture rings to customer
    specifications. Post-exposure corrosion ring analysis
    is available, which includes accurate re-weighing,
    visual and pitting analysis and mpy wall-loss
    calculations provided in a concise report.
