The application of corrosion resistance alloys such as 25% Cr super duplex stainless steel (25Cr SDSS) has expanded in the oil & gas industry recently as new technologies made it feasible for Oil and Gas operators to invest in high sour and corrosive fields. 25Cr SDSS material is often used in critical applications such as piping, rotating equipment, coolers, and instrument components etc. SDSS materials are well known for the 50/50 austenite (γ) and ferrite (α) microstructure which provides the combination of corrosion resistance and high-performance mechanical properties.

FEM Simulation Analysis Of The Pipe-Casing Under Cathodic Protection

Product Number: 51322-17713-SG

Author: Andrea Brenna, Luca Paterlini, Mehdi Attarchi, Marco Ormellese

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

A crossing between buried pipelines and transportation arteries such as railways and highways is a common reality. Nowdays it is ordinary practice, and standards are available for such pratctise¹, to protect such pipelines by encasing them in a wider pipe, named Casing. The goal is to protect the carrier pipe providing an outer shell capable of withstanding mechanical stresses and eventual corrosion, without leakage risk. In usual conditions this kind of safety measure should not be necessary, still due to the difficult maintenance and monitoring accessibility below railways and highways it becomes a dependable protection method and device.

Field And Laboratory Studies On The Effect Of UV Degradation And UV Protector Paints On Stockpiles Of FBE Coated Pipeline

Product Number: 51322-17853-SG

Author: Amal Al-Borno, Aissa VanDerVeen

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) is the primary coating used in North America for new pipeline construction and is strongly featured in the Middle East¹. Pre-coated FBE pipe is routinely stockpiled and stored in large quantities at several locations close to pipeline right-of-ways. Once stockpiled, most of the pipesremain un-used until an inspection and remediation program is initiated². Integrity projects purchase FBE coated pipe in advance and stockpile it until it is required. In addition, project delays and left-over pipe from completed projects can cause stockpiling for future use for undetermined periods of time. Under ultraviolet (UV) exposure in the presence of air, photooxidative degradation of FBE coatings occurs due to photometrical reactions arising from UV absorption.

Finish Standards For Intumescent Cellulosic Fire Protection

Product Number: 51322-18100-SG

Author: Max Tritremmel

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

When choosing a Fire-Protection material to meet building code requirements to insulate steel for a prescribed period to facilitate safe evacuations and emergency response from commercial buildings in the event of a fire, there are many factors that influence the selection of an Intumescent Fire Resistive Material (IFRM) over a Spray Applied Fire Resistive Material (SFRM). It could be a concern of the weight of the system; Portland Cement based SFRM’s are typically much heavier and bulkier than IFRM’s. Another factor could be durability, based on either corrosion resistance or the ability to withstand considerable physical or environmental damage.

Fireproofing for Petrochemical Facilities

Product Number: 41205-202-SG

Author: Mark S. Schilling

Publication Date: 2005

$20.00

Fireproofing is employed in refineries and petrochemical plants to minimize the escalation of a fire that would occur with the failure of structural supports and the overheating of pressure vessels. The damage that fire could potentially do very early on, could add significant fuel to the fire.

Flame Retardant Polyurethane Corrosion Protective Coating

Product Number: 51322-17696-SG

Author: Mohammad Mizanur Rahman

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Metal and its structures corrosion is a natural process. The process started and accelerated in the presence of electrolytes [1, 2]. Thus, it's highly encouraged to stop this electrolyte passage. One of the ways to resist the passage of electrolytes is by making a barrier. The most popular method of such a barrier is an organic coating which mainly comes from polymer resin along with pigments, and additives. Different organic coatings are being used to make a barrier that can ultimately protect the metals and their structures. Epoxy, polyurethane (PU), and acrylate coatings are widely being used for this purpose.

Flow Assurance Testing With Re-Livened Oil – A Cost-Effective Analogue For Live Oil

Product Number: 51322-17822-SG

Author: Andrew Robert Farrell, Dario Marcello Frigo, Gordon Michael Graham

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Precipitation and deposition of wax or asphaltenes is a commonly encountered issue in the oilfield, causing flow restrictions, compromising the integrity and performance of equipment (some safety critical), limiting access during well interventions, causing “fill” in vessels, stabilizing emulsions and sometimes enhancing corrosion due to under-deposit corrosion and increased biofouling. Developing an effective management strategy that minimizes the total cost associated with these threats requires reliable prediction of whether they will occur, their severity and their location within the production system. Such prediction typically combines the use of compositional data and phase behaviour (typically referred to as “PVT data) with Equation of State (EoS) modelling plus the experimental measurement of key parameters specific to each issue.

Forced Cure of Applied Linings

Product Number: 51219-186-SG

Author: Shawn Evans

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

The practice of induced heat to decontaminate a tank (pre-baking) that has been in previous service for re-lining and / or the post application heat curing (force curing) of an applied lining may be considered as a lost art known currently to the few lining specialist within the industry. The objective of the presentation is to inform or remind Owners, Specifiers, Inspectors, Applicators and Vendor Representatives of the requirements and benefits of these processes to obtain a successful relining or tank lining project and additionally attain time savings and prevent cold curing issues.

Formicary Corrosion And EAC Of Copper Tubes In Contact With Building Sealant

Product Number: 51322-17846-SG

Author: Kimberly Steine

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Blue discoloration of off-white sealant in contact with copper tube at medical facilities under
construction was observed. The copper tube was being installed to transport medical-grade gasses and the sealant was used as an acoustical and smoke sealant at through-wall penetrations. In some areas of one facility, galvanized steel pipes inserts were used as sleeves for the copper pipes through the drywall, while in other areas, the copper pipe penetrated directly through the drywall. Observations of the discoloration prompted an evaluation of the copper tube, sealant, and potential adverse interactions.

Formulation Of Novel Combination Production Chemicals For Deepwater Oil And Gas Fields

Hydrocarbon production currently occurs in a variety of onshore and offshore locations. Most offshore production in shallow water (< 500 m) has reached maturity, with most of the more accessible reserves having already been exploited. As a result, exploration and production in offshore environments has been extended to deeper water (> 500 m), which usually incurs more expense and overall project risk for operators and service providers. Production from deepwater oil fields is expected to grow by 40%, to 10 million bpd (10% of total global output), by 2025.
