Abstract: Internal corrosion of flowlines and pipelines is inevitable when transporting oil and gas that contains corrosive species. The consequences of corrosion such as material failure, loss of production, plant shutdown, and environmental pollution result in extra cost that negatively affect the project economics. Early prediction of corrosion severity is, therefore, very important to propose proper measures to avoid or eliminate corrosion. The prediction is normally carried on using a selected model for corrosion prediction. One of these models is NORSOK model, an empirical model developed by NORSOK for CO₂ corrosion prediction in straight pipes. Norsk Sokkels Konkuranseposisjon or, in English, The Competitive Standing of the Norwegian Offshore Sector (NORSOK) is number of standards developed by Norwegian industry groups covering different topics that related to offshore industry. In this paper, NORSOK model has been modified to make it applicable to elbows geometries by introducing the equivalent length concept. A friendly graphical user interface computational package is developed for corrosion prediction in both straight pipes and elbows. The package is validated against measured data and acceptable accuracy is attained.
