← TechnologyWhich risk accelerates pitting corrosion when injecting seawater into offshore oil pipelines?
A)Increasing differential aeration thresholds
B)Exceeding inhibitor effectiveness timing✓
C)Enhancing protective layer formation
D)Minimizing bacterial sulfate reduction
💡 Explanation
Subsea pipelines can suffer corrosion when seawater is injected. Inhibitor effectiveness timing exceeds its constraints, leading to the breakdown of protective films because seawater injection locally overrides the inhibitors on the steel; therefore, local electrochemical differences drive corrosion rather than uniform protection.
