A corrosion inhibition composition includes a carrier and a Schiff base in admixture with the carrier. The carrier includes at least one of water, a hydrocarbon solvent, and a binder.

2-substituted benzimidazoles and methods of preparing the same are disclosed. The compositions may include a compound or salt thereof, a strong acid, and a carboxylic acid. The compositions may exclude a polar aprotic solvent. The compositions may be used to inhibit corrosion of a metal surface in contact with an aqueous system, and provide enhanced protection against corrosion of metals in the aqueous system.

Disclosed are corrosion inhibitor compounds and compositions useful for preventing or inhibiting corrosion of surfaces found in cooling water applications. In some embodiments, the surfaces may include mild steel, aluminum, brass, copper, galvanized steel, a copper alloy, admirality brass, or any combination thereof. Also disclosed are methods of using the compounds and compositions as corrosion inhibitors. In some embodiments, the corrosion inhibitor compounds and compositions are used in cooling water applications.

The present disclosure relates to agents, compositions, and methods for inhibiting corrosion in various substrates, for example in metal substrates. The present disclosure also relates to compositions for inhibiting corrosion comprising at least one organic heterocyclic compound and at least one metal salt or mixed metal salt selected from rare earth, alkali earth and transition metals.

Corrosion inhibitor formulations for use in heat transfer fluids include: (a) an optionally substituted benzoic acid or a salt thereof; (b) at least a first n-alkyl monocarboxylic acid or a salt thereof and a second n-alkyl monocarboxylic acid or a salt thereof, the first n-alkyl monocarboxylic acid and the second n-alkyl monocarboxylic acid being different; and (c) an azole compound. A ratio of weight percent of the first n-alkyl monocarboxylic acid or the salt thereof to weight percent of the second n-alkyl monocarboxylic acid or the salt thereof ranges from about 1:0.75 to about 1:2.00. A ratio of weight percent of the benzoic acid or the salt thereof to combined weight percent of the first n-alkyl monocarboxylic acid or the salt thereof and the second n-alkyl monocarboxylic acid or the salt thereof ranges from about 1:0.30 to about 1:2.25.

Graphene quantum dots are functionalized by covalently bonding a corrosion inhibitor molecule thereto. In a useful method, a corrosion inhibitor compound is blended with a graphene quantum dot-tagged corrosion inhibitor compound, and the blend is applied to a metal surface, such as the interior of a carbon steel pipe. The blend inhibits corrosion arising from contact with produced water generated by hydrocarbon recovery from one or more subterranean reservoirs. The produced water having the blend dispersed therein is irradiated with a source of light having a selected first range of wavelengths, and the luminescent emission of the graphene quantum dot-tagged corrosion inhibitor is measured at a selected second range of wavelengths, thereby providing for real-time measurement of corrosion inhibitor concentration within the pipe.

Disclosed herein are graphene quantum dot tagged water source treatment compounds or polymers, and methods of making and using. Also described herein are tagged compositions including an industrial water source treatment compound or polymer combined with a graphene quantum dot tagged water source treatment compound or polymer. The tagged materials are tailored to fluoresce at wavelengths with minimized correspondence to the natural or “background” fluorescence of irradiated materials in industrial water sources, enabling quantification of the concentration of the water source treatment compound or polymer in situ by irradiation and fluorescence measurement of the water source containing the tagged water source treatment compound or polymer. The fluorescence measurement methods are similarly useful to quantify mixtures of tagged and untagged water source treatment compounds or polymers present in an industrial water source.

A method of inhibiting corrosion of metal in contact with an acidic medium in an oil or gas field environment by introducing the corrosion inhibitor composition into the acidic medium, such as during acid stimulation operations.

A composition for inhibiting corrosion in gas wells includes a pyrazolopyridine derivative. The pyrazolopyridine derivative includes a pyridyl moiety, a first pyrazole moiety, a second pyrazole moiety, and a phenyl moiety. The first pyrazole moiety is bound to the pyridyl moiety. The second pyrazole moiety is bound to the pyridyl moiety. The phenyl moiety is bound to the pyridyl moiety. The composition can be flowed into a wellbore formed in a subterranean formation, thereby inhibiting corrosion in the wellbore.
