An Approach to Assess Environmental Severity Categories Using Corrosion Sensors

Product Number: 51324-20739-SG

Author: James Dante; Erica Macha; Andrew Keller; Michael Hartnett; Shengyen Li

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

This work examines data from a multi-year, large deployment of corrosion sensors in a variety of locations representing a range of corrosivity severities. The corrosion sensors used in this work measure atmospheric parameters including relative humidity and temperature in addition to conductance of the electrolyte formed by salt deposition. First, a rudimentary model is developed based on a small sampling of corrosion sites to demonstrate a means by which environmental parameters (RH, temperature, and conductance) can be viewed to assess environmental severity. The model is simplified and applied to a broader number of sites to determine its viability for predicting severity. Results are compared to current Air Force severity rankings and literature data separately.

Corrosion in pipes is a major challenge for the oil and gas industry which leads to expensive failures, production loss and safety issues. The corrosion problems in gas producing operations are complex and depends on lot of factors including but not limited to process stream chemistry, material of construction and operating conditions.

CO2 corrosion of carbon steel (C-steel) materials is one of the main corrosion mechanisms encountered in the oil and gas industry.

An Enhanced Prediction Model For Simultaneous Naphthenic Acid And Sulfidic Corrosion Quantification

Sulfur and acidic impurities in crude oils pose serious hot oil corrosion problems in crude distillation units (CDU) and associated vacuum distillation units (VDU), especially with the increase in processing of lowquality, opportunity crudes.^1-4 In the range of 200-400˚C, reactive sulfur compounds cause sulfidation corrosion of ferritic carbon and chrome steels in CDU, VDU, and front ends of downstream units operating at hot oil temperatures.^5-7 Over the same temperature range, naturally occurring carboxylic acids in crudes can be so aggressive that higher alloy, austenitic stainless steels containing >2.5% Mo are required for processing high acid oils.^8-11 Although sulfidation and acid corrosion occur over the same temperature range, they differ in two significant ways. Sulfidation forms an iron sulfide solid that is semiresistant to further corrosion and relatively insensitive to flow velocity. Acids form oil soluble organic salts that can be washed away especially in areas of high turbulence.^12-14

An Environmental Performance Comparison of Premium Vs. Standard Grades Used in Non-Magnetic Drill Collars

Product Number: 51324-20685-SG

Author: Flavia Kudla; Manuel Marya

Publication Date: 2024

Non-magnetic drill collar (NMDC) alloys are (Cr-Mn/Cr-Mn-Ni)-Mo-N proprietary austenitic stainless steels that meet minimum API Specification 7-1 requirements. Among NMDC alloys, a wide range of chemical compositions and environmental performance exist with similar mechanical requirements. NMDC alloy proprietary compositions may be grouped into premium and standard grades and, depending on the product and operation requirements, the drilling conditions may lean more towards one group versus the other. This paper evaluates and compares the corrosion performance of representative alloys from these two groups in terms of weight-loss corrosion, localized corrosion, and environmentally assisted cracking in two simulated drilling muds. The test program accounts for different levels of chlorides, dissolved oxygen, brine pH, and temperature, in order to reproduce corrosion in the environment(s) and temperature(s) representative of field jobs. This investigation aims to understand and identify corrosion and cracking limits of the alloys from the premium and standard groups; and consequently, provide guidance to improve operational reliability and increase NMDCs life in the field.

An Evaluation of Well Completion Materials for Impure Carbon Dioxide Supercritical Streams in Hydrocarbon Production and Geological Carbon Sequestration

Product Number: MECC23-20034-SG

Author: Manuel Marya

Publication Date: 2023

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) represents to traditional industrial emitters a critical transitional technology to globally manage greenhouse gas emission, meet the latest carbon net-zero ambitions, and continue the commercial use of fossil fuels. In CCS, anthropogenic CO2 is captured near emission, treated, compressed, transported (usually by steel pipelines), injected underground through casings, tubings, and completion equipment, and finally permanently stored into saline formations, aquifers, depleted (abandoned) reservoirs, or un-mineable coal seams. [1] Depending upon emitters, the injected CO2 is either near or in a dense state (i.e., indistinctly including a supercritical phase and potentially liquids) having various impurities.

An Expanded Characterization of Environmental Severity for Naval Air Stations

Publication Date: 2024

Characterizing the risk of corrosion due to environmental severity is critical when developing condition-based maintenance practices, planning facility maintenance or developing predictive corrosion models. In light of that, a research study was conducted to characterize and rank the environmental severity of Naval Air Stations across the world. In addition, the research team utilized the most recent recommendation for environmental severity assessment from the AMPP SC-07 committee as a secondary effort in this study. This report will describe both the environmental severity rankings of the sites along with evaluating the effectiveness of the SC-07 recommendations.

An Experimental Investigation of Ductile Material Deformation as a Result of Single Particle Impacts

In many industrial applications such as oil and gas production, mining, and renewable energy systems such as concentrated solar power (CSP), solid particles impact the walls of the pipeline, piping components, and equipment resulting in wear and degradation of the component material. Erosion is the dynamic process of removing material from a solid surface due to the repeated impact of solid particles. When a single solid particle impacts the surface, the material deforms, and eventually, the material is removed upon successive impacts of particles.
