1. Which of the following is correct regarding the corrosion inhibitors?
a) Used to limit the growth of microbes
b) Used to lower the surface tension
c) To protect casing and other equipment from corroding
d) Known as gelation chemicals
View Answer
Explanation: Corrosion inhibitors are the chemicals that are used to prevent corrosion in the oil and gas equipment and facilities. It is mainly used to protect casing and other equipment from corroding in the oil industry.
2. Which of the following is correct regarding Glutaraldehyde?
a) Eliminates bacteria in the water that produces corrosive by-products
b) To protect casing and equipment from corroding
c) Known as gelation chemicals
d) Used to limit the growth of microbes
View Answer
Explanation: Glutaraldehyde is an additive used in the hydraulic fracturing job that eliminates bacteria in the water that produces corrosive by-products. Glutaraldehyde is also a disinfectant used in the oil and gas industry.
3. Which of the following is correct regarding Quaternary Ammonium Chloride?
a) Known as gelation chemicals
b) To protect casing and equipment from corroding
c) Eliminates bacteria found in the water that produces corrosive by-products
d) Used to limit the growth of microbes
View Answer
Explanation: Quaternary Ammonium Chloride is also known as quats. Quaternary Ammonium Chloride eliminates bacteria found in the water that produces corrosive by-products. Quaternary ammonium salts are used as surfactants which can lower the surface tension.
