This article discusses the effects of inhibitors
used in the treatment of bacterial corrosion in the oil
industry in southern Algeria on N80 steel corroded by
Sulphate-Reducing Bacteria. These bacteria were found
in the wells of water and oil. we find the problem of
bacterial corrosion in the circuits of production and
injection when petroleum is extracted . This bacterial
corrosion occurs when petroleum which contains water
touched the pipes for well long enough to be able to
start corrosion. This problem results in the formation
of deposits on the inner surface of pipes which lead to
the risk of clogging, In this work, we studied the effect
of Sulphate-Reducing Bacteria on the surface of N80
steel samples and the NORUST 720 and CH1377A
inhibitors on the surface of samples already corroded
by the bacteria.
