Most of the recent work done to characterize the fracture toughness of age-hardened nickel-based
alloys in simulated seawater with cathodic protection (SW+CP) environments has used rising
displacement techniques and compact tension specimens. The results of these tests are sometimes
used in fracture mechanics calculations for design verification, though there is some uncertainty
about the appropriate method for determining environmental fracture toughness from the results.
There has not to date been much work performed to characterize threshold stress intensities in
SW+CP environments using double cantilever beam (DCB) tests.
In this work, NACE TM0177 Method D (DCB) tests were performed on UNS N07718 (Alloy 718) in a
simulated seawater environment with cathodic polarization. The tests were performed in a deaerated
3.5% NaCl solution at 4 °C (40 °F) with pH adjusted to 8.2 and an applied potential of -1050 mV
versus a saturated calomel electrode (SCE). For comparison purposes, tests were performed on Alloy
718 with and without delta (o) phase in the microstructure.  Material and specimen examinations
included microstructural characterization and scanning electron microscopy. The test data was
compared to published data from several sources. The results support the current understanding that o phase can be detrimental to the hydrogen embrittlement resistance of Alloy 718.

It has become somewhat common in the oil and gas industry to convert producing wells containing 13Cr stainless steels to water injection wells. This practice has led to numerous tubing failures due to pitting of the 13Cr from oxygen dissolved in the injection water. The water source for these wells is often from produced water and seawater but other waters may also be injected.

The Permian Basin is an oil-and-gas-producing area located in West Texas and the adjoining area of southeastern New Mexico. The Permian Basin covers an area approximately 250 miles wide and 300 miles long and is composed of more than 7,000 fields (best represented in Railroad Commission of Texas production figures as districts 7C, 08, and 8A) in West Texas.1 The greater Permian Basin accounts for nearly 40 percent of all oil production in the United States and nearly 15 percent of its natural gas production.

There have been several studies and publications over the past decade that clearly illustrate how initial assumptions about monopile interiors being perfectly sealed compartments were not correct in practice. Oxygen ingress through various points in the monopile contributes to persistent internal corrosion, and planned inspections are also opportunities to introduce fresh oxygen into the monopile. The replenishment of oxygen has been found to continue the corrosion reaction between the monopile wall and entrapped water.
