4. (a) Reservoir fluid contains CO2 and H2S. Critically analyse the types of corrosion possibilities with the help of supporting diagrams. (b) For the given well data, select the steel grade that would be resistant to corrosion.

The reservoir pressure declined below the bubble point pressure after 10 years of production since the time it was put on production in early 1990s. Waterflooding operations was undertaken for the reservoir pressure maintenance through the seawater injection (predominant of sulphate ions) into reservoir. Moreover, the static and dynamic analysis of the hydrocarbon flow through the transportation line indicated that the flowing hydrocarbon stream undergoes the pressure and temperature changes (higher to lower) during its travel from the source (reservoir) to the sink (surface facilities). Tasks: You are required to accomplish the following tasks using above description and the provided data in Table 1, 2 and 3. Wherever needed, you should justify your answers supported by the associated neatly labelled diagrams. It is an essential part of this design assignment that the students themselves should identify the appropriate data (from the given description and tables) needed for your design solution. 4.
