The present invention concerns the use of at least one compound A comprising at least one —SH or —S—, M+group, at least one —C-G-C— chain, in which G represents an atom from column 16 of the periodic table, not comprising a carboxy group —C(═O)—OH or —C(═O)—O—, and of a molar mass of between 90 g.Math.mol-1 and 1000 g.Math.mol-1, as an additive in a formulation inhibiting corrosion in metals used in the oil industry, and more generally in any kind of industry involving the drilling of ores or fossil compounds, such as gas or oil, in order to improve both the anti-corrosion performance and the storage stability of same. The invention also concerns said corrosion-inhibiting formulations comprising at least one compound A.

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.
