I am a graduate student, and I have been studying metal corrosion and corrosion inhibitors in oilfields during my graduate studies, so what topics can I do after graduation, and do you have any good suggestions?
corrosion is a highly complex process involving a variety of chemical, electrochemical and even biological reactions. This destructive process costs numerous industries millions of dollars each year.
As such, there is a growing demand for new material technologies, corrosion protection methods and evaluation approaches. In recent years there have been several developments and discoveries in the field of materials science, many of which have exciting possibilities with regard to corrosion resistance and protection.

Corrosion Inhibitor for Supercritical CO2 pipelines transportation at very high Operating Pressure (225 bara). Its performance and compatibility with other Integrity Chemicals including Biocides and Oxygen Scavengers.
I would deal with inhibitors in water systems. It's easier to research and easier to choose something. Hydrocarbons, pressures and non-gravimetric tests are eliminated in this type of systems. Well, maybe resistometric.
Research and evaluate materials with superior corrosion resistance properties for use in oilfield equipment and infrastructure. Study the corrosion challenges associated with unconventional methods like hydraulic fracturing and develop effective corrosion mitigation strategies.
Investigate the unique corrosion issues faced in subsea oil and gas operations and propose solutions to address these challenges. Explore the factors contributing to corrosion under insulation and develop preventive measures and coatings to mitigate CUI in oilfield equipment. Environments containing high levels of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and propose effective inhibitors and materials for such conditions. Develop comprehensive corrosion management strategies for oil and gas facilities, considering both preventive and corrective measures.
Analyze the economic and environmental consequences of corrosion in the oil and gas industry and propose strategies to minimize these impacts.
Investigate and develop novel corrosion inhibitors with enhanced performance, durability, and eco-friendly properties. Explore the use of nanotechnology in designing corrosion inhibitors for improved efficiency.
Focus on the development and application of advanced corrosion monitoring techniques, such as sensors and real-time monitoring systems, to enhance corrosion control strategies.
