Comments On Standards Development For Selection And Specification Of Subsea Materials

In the oil and gas industry, the major standard for material selection today is ANSI1/NACE2 MR0175/ISO 15156 Parts 1-3. [1] While this standard deals extensively with environment cracking and its prevention for materials under exposure to production environments containing H2S, CO2, chlorides, and sulfur, it does not include any guidance or material requirements for resistance to environmental cracking (such as hydrogen stress cracking – HSC, or otherwise) under variable subsea conditions that involve exposure to seawater with varying levels of cathodic protection (CP). ISO 21457 [2] provides further guidance for materials selection and corrosion control for oil and gas production systems but does not provide adequate coverage of the issue of environmental cracking in subsea applications with CP.

In the oil and gas industry, the major standard for material selection today is ANSI1/NACE2 (now AMMP3) MR0175/ISO4 15156 Parts 1-3. This standard deal extensively with environmental cracking and its mitigation under exposure to sour production environments containing H2S, CO2, chlorides, and sulfur. Unfortunately, it does not include material requirements for resistance to environmental cracking under variable subsea applications and conditions that may involve exposure to seawater with or without cathodic protection (CP). Also, ISO 21457 and several other standards identify the corrosion mechanisms and parameters for evaluation when performing selection of materials for pipelines, piping and equipment related to hydrocarbon production, transport and processing, including utility and injection systems; however, they do not address in detail aspects of environmental cracking that can be associated with use of CP in subsea operations. This lack of attention in industry standards is somewhat surprising since exposure of materials to subsea conditions with cathodic protection and the potential for environmental cracking has been documented in the literature for over 50 years.

Geothermal Energy is currently engineered as an “always on” baseload supply, due to the limited flexibility to throttle the well without scaling and fatigue issues, and it is engineered for maximal efficiency at this output level. Scaling is a major problem in geothermal plants, particularly in cases where the geothermal fluid composition and plant operation make it difficult to control scaling. In such areas, particularly where scale inhibitors cannot be employed, the formation of scales can make the process less efficient and in extreme cases can lead to unexpected shutdown.

Carbon steel (CS) material is widely used for the equipment in oil and gas production industry due to its mechanical properties associated with a relatively low cost, compared to other materials. Depending on the corrosiveness of the fluid that is vehiculated, the use of carbon steel is generally associated with the injection of a corrosion inhibitor (CI) in order to mitigate internal corrosion. Corrosion inhibitors are generally used in continuous injection at an injection rate that is depending on the corrosiveness of the fluid. Based on the operational feedback, the internal standards are recommending for multiphase pipelines CI injection rates in the range of 50 - 70 ppm for temperature below 80°C of and of 150 to 200ppm for temperatures above 100°C. These injection dosages are typical values that are considered in the laboratory tests for the qualification of the CI and they are adjusted on-site based on the monitoring results.
