The procedures used by a major oil company, laboratory to develop a new series of corrosion inhibitors are presented. Initially developed to inhibit corrosion caused by combinations of air and hydrogen sulfide, the base chemical was found to be effective in laboratory tests with most other corrosive agents encountered in the oil producing industry. Several modifications of the base compound were made and have proven successful in the field. A review of the history of these inhibitors illustrates a pattern of development work which started by finding a material to solve a specific problem and expanded the solution to related problems.
