The paper presents the results of the theoretical and experimental researches carried out for the evaluation of the corrosive rate of different equipment from water injection treatment plant used for water flooding. The degradation are occurring mainly at pipelines and connecting elements of the flotation skid, in the form of advanced corrosion wear because the water injection contains an inconsistent composition mixture of dissolved gases, hydrocarbons, solid particles. The manifestation of corrosion wear at the skid connections indicates that the mechanical-physical-chemical treatments used to reduce aggressiveness are not sufficiently effective. The tests were carried out on the corrosion specimens taken from the critical areas of the skid connections and using the different formation water taken from the same critical points. Corrosion rate was obtained through experimental tests made in accordance with ASTM G5-15 and ASTM G1-03. The results materialized in the form of an influence of corrosion inhibitor and temperature on the corrosion rate for different formation water samples.
