Utility water and fire water which is desalinated is supplied by Ministry of Electricity & Water (MEW) and stored in utility/fire water tank (70-T-0002). The process areas and the tanks are protected by desalinated water as fire water backed up by sea water and the buildings are protected completely by desalinated water. Buildings to be protected by desalinated fire water are fire station, maintenance & operation building, warehouse, workshop, laboratory, and administration building. DF water system used in buildings are stagnant and for the fire water in tanks are used frequently.

Mitigation Of Scaling Potential Using Organophosphorus Phosphonates In High-Temperature And High-Hardness Carbonate Formations

Scale is an adherent deposit of inorganic compounds precipitated from water onto surfaces. Most oilfield waters contain certain amounts of dissolved calcium, barium or strontium salts. The mineral scale can be formed by chemical reactions in the formation water itself, by mixing of formation water with injected seawater, or by mixing of the well streams of two incompatible oilfield waters. In carbonate reservoirs, when calcium is deposited as calcium sulfate or calcium carbonate scale, a loss of production and increased maintenance expenses can result. Therefore, effective mitigation of scaling potential is of importance to the oil producers.

Eliminating and mitigating corrosion is one of the major objectives that oil-and-gas industries are adopting to enhance and optimize the life of their assets. It is achieved by applying scientifically proven concepts that allows industries to with stand corrosion impacts, such as: cathodic protection. It is an electrochemical technique that controls a corrosion cycle by shifting the reaction and electrical potential of the metal surface, which requires protection, from anodic oxidized region to cathodic reduced region.

Modeling Abrasion-Corrosion in Horizontal Pipeline Slurry Flows

Product Number: 51319-13125-SG

Author: Kofi Freeman Adane

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Slurry pipeline systems are used to process and transport mined ore and tailings in the oil and gas and mining industries. The handling processing and transporting of these slurries result in significant pipe wall material losses or wear. For the most widely used material carbon steel these losses are attributed to the combined effects of erosion/abrasion and corrosion due to the exposure of pipe wall materials to an aerated mixture of solids and liquids. In an attempt to mitigate this challenge some end-users such as mined oil sands operators have adopted polymer based pipe liner which basically only experiences erosion or abrasion damage. Models can be used as a predictive tool to optimize slurry design and processes material selection and/or even used as a tool for preventive maintenance. They are also being employed for technology assessment and product evaluation. These benefits are realized if the models are based on underlying mechanics or phenomena in the real systems. Unarguably there are a significant number of models for erosion-corrosion especially erosive wear. These models have a varying degree of accuracy which is partly due to the fact that most of them are based on some degree of empiricism and may lack accurate information on key parameters. Unfortunately models for wear which usually occurs in dense slurries are very limited despite most slurry applications fall under this category. As part of a broader wear model development project at our company this work focuses on validations of existing abrasive wear and/or abrasive-corrosion models. This work adopts computational fluid dynamic (CFD) as a tool to model abrasive wear and/or abrasion-corrosion in horizontal pipeline dense slurries. These CFD results will be compared with previously acquired wear data in our pilot-scale slurry flow loop for mild and dual-phase stainless steels pipe spools. The model performance will be presented and discussed with recommendations for future works.Key words: Wear; Pipeline; Slurry; Oil sands; Abrasion-corrosion; Flow Loop; CFD; modeling

A model was built that describes stress field and hydrogen activity at the direct vicinity of a crack tip. A second model was based on the cohesive zone simulates the kinetic of a crack growth. Experiments using hydrogen permeation under stress on flat un-notched & notched specimens yielded data comparable to the simulations.

Modeling and Prediction of Pipeline External Corrosion

External corrosion (EC) is still the leading cause of oil and gas transmission pipeline incidences. The primary source for understanding external corrosion risk is one of the interrelated parameters: EC rate, remaining wall thickness, or percentage wall loss. They may be obtained from five (5) sources: laboratory data (CLab), field operating conditions (CField), field above ground surveys (Csurveys), inline inspection (CILI), and field below ground inspection (CFBGM). • Laboratory data (CLab) and field operating data (CField) are “leading indicators” of localized pitting corrosion rate. • Field above ground surveys (Csurveys) are “current indicators”. • ILI (CILI) and field below ground inspection (CFBGM) are “past indicators”. The paper compares leading indicators CLab and CField with present condition indicator (CAbove) and trailing indicators (CILI, and CFBGM) of two (2) Saudi Aramco pipelines. This paper describes the success of the approach, lessons learned, and future improvements. How this approach is superior to other methods of prediction such as machine learning and simulation has been explained and how using the 5-M methodology as the based can accelerate the development of other approaches (artificial intelligence (AI) and simulation) has been described.
