No Place for Hipsters when the Substance behind a Pretty Façade is Required

Product Number: 41213-775-SG

Author: Cynthia O’Malley

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

In contrast to the Hipster projected or “posed” image based solely upon appearance in lieu of substance, a company’s brand-image projected by paints & coatings requires performance derived from consistently sound chemistry and manufacturing. The protective paints and coatings on the façade of commercial buildings are a significant aspect of the image associated with the owner organization.

Non Producing Environments Leading to Downhole CRA Completion Failures

Materials selection for any oil and gas equipment, but specifically in wells, tend to focus on the nature and characteristic of the producing environments, or injected fluids if dealing with an injector well. They benefit from greater appreciation on the uncertainty range, in terms of volumes, pressure, temperature and concentration of corrodents since it forms the basis of the business case to drill a new well. There is no robust industry-wide materials selection standards, besides that of the sour limitation of ISO 15156, and Operators are therefore relying on their internal standards, if available, or recommendations from equipment manufacturers or suppliers to select the most appropriate OCTG for that given “worst case” environment. This paper describes several wells completion failures that are attributed to temporary internal or external exposures, at times in wells that were not even cleaned up from the initial completion brine. The events that led to extensive internal corrosion of N08535 tubing and cracking of 13Cr-110 ksi (13-5-2 grades per ISO 13680) are described with the aim to bring higher awareness to the Operators that due diligence of materials selection should not be limited to the primary fluids that are to be transported.

Non-Abrasive Surface Preparation

Product Number: 51217-078-SG

Author: David Watson

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

While traditional cleaning solutions can be time consuming, costly and ineffective, dry ice blast cleaning provides a completely dry solution that cleans faster and more efficiently, while reducing downtime and supporting environmental initiatives. This presentation will discuss the basic concepts of dry ice cleaning. Participants will learn the benefits of the process, as well as, how it can benefit their production, improve quality, and support an environmentally responsible production environment.

Non-Arrhenius Stress Corrosion Crack Growth Behavior Of 304 Stainless Steel In Deaerated Water

Product Number: ED22-17245-SG

Publication Date: 2022

The Naval Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) has performed evaluations of SCC in 304/304L stainless steel since 2005 with the goal of developing an empirical equation. Testing has focused on the effects of temperature, stress intensity factor, material cold work, orientation, and sulfur content on SCC in hydrogenated water. Non-Arrhenius growth, termed herein as high temperature retardation (HTR), was observed in several studies where the SCC growth rate was found to slow at elevated temperature at low cold work levels in 316 and 304/304L stainless steel.

Non-Intrusive Systems for Monitoring Internal Corrosion of Carbon Steel Pipes

Product Number: 51319-13358-SG

Author: Anna Moreira

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Internal corrosion is one of the major problems affecting the integrity of pipelines and equipments. For this reason the internal corrosion monitoring becomes of huge importance to anticipate problems and select the most appropriate methods to mitigate the corrosive process. Due to problems related to cost logistics and safety in the activities related to coupons' and ER probes' exchanges it is fundamental to seek alternatives to the currently used methods in order to optimize this activity. The use of a non-intrusive equipment to monitor internal corrosion is an alternative that aims to optimize this step ensuring reliability in the obtained data and faster results. These devices predict the tendency of the corrosion rate through equipments installed externally to the pipe/equipment without needing any access connection as the conventional techniques. In order to evaluate the non-intrusive equipments' performance tests were performed under dynamic conditions varying the fluid characteristics in order to verify the speed of response. The results were always compared with the ones obtained by conventional methods (coupons mass loss and ER probes).

Corrosion, either internal or external, along with other types of defects on pipelines eventually lead to leaks without proper treatment. This gives rise to several issues, including environmental and safety hazards, and in case of pipe leaks in a plant, a loss of the efficiency of the process or, ultimately, failure of the process. Replacing the corroded pipelines (piping) can be difficult, costly and time consuming especially for plant. A required shutdown causes major economic loss. Thus, instead of a replacement of the defected pipelines, the installation of online repair is a better option.
Repairs of pipelines include metallic and non-metallic repairs. Metallic repairs generally require welding or hot works which is not suitable for online repair of pipes containing hydrocarbons. In such cases the use of non-metallic composite repairs is the optimum solution. A non-metallic composite repair system is a system used to reinforce structures using a fiber equipped with a thermoset epoxy system. The epoxy system consists of a hardener and a resin which, after mixing, become solid through a polymerization reaction after a short duration of time, a process that is called curing. Depending on the temperature, the duration of time changes in an inverse relation. The higher the temperature, the smaller the duration of time needed for curing. This system can be used to reinforce pipelines with both external and internal corrosion and it can be used on Straight Pipes, Tees, Elbows, Flanges and weld joints. The repair system can also be installed online without the need for a shutdown in a short amount of time and a small requirement of labor intensity, making it cost effective. It is also environmentally friendly. In this paper we are going to present cases that were resolved by our company that demonstrate how successful these non-metallic composite repairs are and how diverse their applications can be
