Complex corrosion behavior of carbon steel in water-based drilling fluids: Normal and abnormal regimes

Corrosion of carbon steel in water-based drilling muds (WBMs) is typically controlled through pH adjustment, oxygen scavenging, and the use of film-forming corrosion inhibitors. In this study, unexpected corrosion behavior was observed in certain WBM formulations, where the addit...
