Abstract
The process of providing corrosion protection in a deep, offshore, corrosive gas well containing acid gases such as H.sub.2 S or CO.sub.2 by continuously circulating a manufactured carrier oil containing a corrosion inhibitor can be improved where that well or a nearby well produces a condensate that contains high boiling, organic compounds. Determinations can be made and utilized concerning whether, and to what extent, portions of such a carrier oil can be replaced by portions of such a condensate.
