;

Tubing failures caused by CO/sub 2/ corrosion and erosion are examined. Corrosion inhibitors were used for batch treatments, formation squeezing and continuous injection downhole through the annulus. Plastic-coated tubing also was used. Evaluation was by surface corrosion monitoring, tubing caliper surveys and inspection of recovered tubing. Economics were reviewed.
