Abstract

Difficulties normally associated with the use of attenuation equations to predict downhole potential profiles of oil wells under cathodic protection are addressed. Using a novel approach, field data is analysed to obtain accurate simulated potential profiles of wells under different CP conditions. These profiles, in conjunction with a suitable protection criterion, can be used to establish optimum protection levels of wells.
