Abstract
The negative effect of aggressive hydrogen sulfide-containing wet media in transported gas and oil causes disruption of continuity and failure of pipes by the mechanisms of hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) and sulfide stress cracking (SSC) and is determined by a number of external and internal factors. The external factors include the corrosive environment characteristics such as the concentration of hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and other impurities, acidity (pH) in the aqueous medium, H2S partial pressure, temperature, duration of the corrosive medium action on the material, and external stresses.
