Abstract (2. Language): 
Sweet corrosion (CO2) is one of the main concerns threatening the metallic infrastructures of oil industry. Downhole equipment of oil and gas wells are suffering more dramatically from CO2 corrosion due to high temperature and high pressure (HTHP) exists in such conditions. In compare to the surface facilitates, corrosion of downhole equipment is more costly since the repair and/or replacement of the damaged parts requires total shutdown of the producing well. Indeed, the accessibility of downhole equipment is not as readily as surface equipment. Therefore, corrosion control program of oil and gas wells is very important for oil operators. This paper provides an overlook to the corrosion of oil wells and the important factors that govern corrosion in sweet environments.
