Abstract
Wellbore equipment used in oil and gas operations can be negatively affected by corrosive fluids. Coatings can be applied to the equipment to help protect the equipment. A field test can be used at a wellsite to ensure the coating is effective. Due to the HSE risks of the corrosive fluids, a proxy fluid can be used instead. The proxy fluid can have similar chemical or physical properties and simulate the corrosive fluid that is anticipated to be present in the wellbore. The wellbore equipment that is coated can be sealed to create a containment area where an initial concentration of the proxy fluid is introduced into the containment area for a period of time. A final concentration of the proxy fluid can be measured after the period of time has elapsed. By calculating the percent change of the proxy fluid, the effectiveness of the coating can be determined.
