Multi-Mechanism Corrosion Forecasting
Predicts CO2, H2S, microbial and erosion corrosion and scale risk from fluid chemistry and inspection data, and tunes chemical treatment.

The Challenge
Corrosion and degradation drive 35-45% of well integrity incidents, each failure costing $200K-$2M. Coupons and probes are sampled manually and read in isolation, so mechanisms are never assessed together.
How It Works
- Ingests fluid chemistry, coupon and probe results, thickness surveys and metallurgy specs.
- Models CO2, H2S, microbial, galvanic and erosion corrosion alongside scale formation risk.
- Corrosion engineers get rate forecasts, anode life and an optimised chemical dosing plan.
What It Removes
- Corrosion mechanisms assessed one at a time
- Chemical dosing set by habit rather than risk
- Wall loss seen only at the next inspection
Input Data RequirementsFluid chemistry (CO2, H2S, chloride, pH, water cut), coupon and probe data, ultrasonic thickness surveys, metallurgy specs, failure records
Output FormatCorrosion rate forecast per mechanism, scale risk profile, chemical treatment plan, cathodic protection settings, anomaly flags
