Methodologies to Predict the Operational Limits of Nonmetallic Materials in Well Applications:The Cases of Hydrocarbon Production and Carbon Dioxide Sequestration

Product Number: MECC23-20049-SG

Author: Jushik Yun; Manuel Marya; Alireza Zolfaghari

Publication Date: 2023

Nonmetallic materials (i.e., elastomers, plastics, and composites) are essential to transport and regulate flow of fluid from production sites to processing sites. In oil and gas production environments, the materials naturally encounter production liquids and gases, including natural gas (CH4, H2), crude oil, formation water, carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), in addition to completion brines, organic/inorganic acids, and residual drilling muds. The selection of nonmetallic materials is critical to the structural integrity of oilfield equipment and the safety of rig workers not only in known notoriously hostile environments but also in regular oilfield operations and subsurface water and gas injection.

Methodology for Coated Infrastructure Inspection by Mobile Potentiostat

Product Number: 41215-912-SG

Author: Bobbi Jo Merten, Susan Drozdz, Cassidy Gills, David Tordonato, Jeff Ryan

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

A test methodology is shown for field application of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The method utilizes low-cost, accessible materials to secure a temporary solution cell to the infrastructure’s coated surface. A laptop computer provides the power source and operating system for the mobile potentiostat during EIS data collection. This data provides a quantitative measure of the coating condition. The objective of this work is to incorporate EIS testing into standard coatings inspection to estimate remaining service life for the intact coating, which improves coatings maintenance planning for facility owners.

Methodology to Evaluate the Performance of Liquid Scavenger Application Technologies in Gas Pipelines

Product Number: 51323-19302-SG

Author: Jose Vera, Kyle Hilgefort

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Liquid H2S scavengers are sometimes injected into pipelines transporting wet gas to reduce the H2S concentration below allowable values before reaching certain points of the system. In these situations, the H2S scavenger injected into the pipeline should be able to reduce the H2S concentration in the gas to the target values within a given residence time.

The overall reaction kinetics when a liquid scavenger is directly injected into a wet gas pipeline can be separated in the following three steps, which have been described in previous publications:
Step 1: Transport of the liquid scavenger into the aqueous phase.
Step 2: Transport of H2S from the gas to the aqueous phases.
Step 3: Chemical reaction between the scavenger and dissolved H2S

Methods for Construction of Pitting Engineering Diagrams of Stainless Steels Used for Water Systems

Product Number: 51323-19246-SG

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Stainless steel is one of the most resistant materials to chloride environments and is an important material for water applications. Selecting a suitable stainless steel grade for water applications requires information about the performance of the candidate stainless steel grades. The limiting conditions for the pitting resistance of stainless steel depend mainly on the alloying composition of the steel and the surrounding environment.

Methods to Assess Carburization Damage and Remaining Life in Fired Heater Tubes

Product Number: 51323-18771-SG

Author: Jeff Goldstein

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Fired heaters in coking service are susceptible to carburization damage, which needs to be predicted and managed to prevent unexpected downtime and expedited replacement costs. Carburization damage occurs when carbonaceous material, i.e., coke, is deposited on a steel surface and exposed to high metal temperatures; such are the internal conditions present in fired heater tubes in coking services. At these high temperatures, the carbon diffuses into the steel microstructure and increases the hardness while reducing ductility. At an advanced state, this reduction in ductility may lead to tube failure if a mechanical or thermal shock is applied. The diffusion of carbon can also cause the formation of deleterious chromium carbides in the steel microstructure, reducing the high temperature corrosion resistance in those areas.

Microorganisms are a nuisance in water injection systems. Dense bacterial growth within the pipelines is the originator of reservoir souring, biofouling, biocorrosion and biodegradation of the infrastructure, resulting in huge expenses on the operational and capital costs. Molecular methods are superior tools for identifying microbial populations in the system and mapping the threat level. qPCR is a technology that allows us to quantify the absolute concentration of different bacterial and archaeal groups present in samples collected in the field. This analysis can be done on-site or in-laboratory. Another technology called next-generation sequencing (NGS), can dig deep into the interesting samples to determine the identity and relative populations of specific bacteria and archaea down to the genus or species level that are present. However, both of these techniques cannot differentiate between viable and non-viable communities. Recently RNA based estimations have been observed as a method to quantify the living microbial communities. Coupling RT-PCR, qPCR and NGS together gives a complete picture of what is happening and thus opens avenues for more effective monitoring and treatment.
