    All,

    As you all know, in oil & gas industry, well is treated with corrosion inhibitor to protect the tubing or casing from CO2 corrosion. Usually corrosion inhibitor effectiveness is ensured by monitoring the corrosion inhibitor residuals at surface.

    What is the minimum criteria (ppm of corrosion inhibitor) to conclude its effectiveness as per any  NACE or industry best practices?
