Finite Element Modeling of the Hydrogen Diffusion and Ssc Failure Mechanisms of an Octg Pipe Burst Tested in a H2S Sour Environment

Product Number: 51319-12916-SG

Publication Date: 2019

A coupled hydrogen diffusion and elastic-plastic deformation finite element analysis tool was developed. The tool was used to analyze the actual hydrogen diffusion process in a notched OCTG pipe in a H2S sour environment under internal pressure loading. It was found that hydrogen generated through the chemical reaction between H2S and metal surface eventually diffuse and concentered at the pipe notch tip due to the stress concertation and local plasticity under internal pressure. The pipe starts to crack under a critical stress level with certain hydrogen concentration that can be calculated from fracture mechanics formulas. This analysis tool can be used to investigate SSC cracking mechanism of a pipe under various loading condition and sour environments. It can also be used as a fitness-for-service casing design toolfor sour wells.

The non-metallic glass fiber reinforced GFRP bars has gained worldwide acceptance recently and are now being used in several applications in reinforced concrete structures such as sea wall, bridges, foundation, marine structure, pavements, barriers, and piles (1–3). The major impetus for its usage in Saudi Arabia emerged from the strategic decision by Saudi Aramco to make it mandatory for several non-structural applications such as slab-on-grade, stormwater channels, bulkheads, and pipe supports. The motivation was to combat the high cost of repair, rehabilitation, and reconstruction of deteriorated steel-reinforced concrete structures in a short span of time (4).

Finite Element Study on a Structural Steel Detail Susceptible to Hot-Dip Galvanizing Crackin

Product Number: 51217-086-SG

Steel structures are often galvanized to ensure durability in harsh environments. However, on occasion, incidents of cracking have occurred in galvanized structures that appear to be induced during the galvanizing process. Such cracking incidences produce a significant cost to the industry, in that repair procedures are often necessary to eliminate any flaws present directly after galvanizing.

Corrosion of steel reinforcement is the primary cause of premature deterioration of reinforced concrete structures, and affects their functionality and safety.

During the last two decades, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have emerged as promising materials that can be used for reinforcing concrete structures. The non-corroding properties of FRPs, their high tensile strength, and their high stiffness to weight ratio made them very attractive substitute to conventional reinforcing steel.

Fire-resistant coatings distinguish themselves from regular coatings by serving a crucial function: providing additional time for evacuation in fire emergencies. Their primary role l ies in preventing structural collapse and offering insulation during fires, a function widely acknowledged and substantiated through certification evaluations conducted on numerous products worldwide. Key evaluation methods encompass BS, EN, UL, and class certifications.

Fireproofing for Petrochemical Facilities

Product Number: 41205-202-SG

Author: Mark S. Schilling

Publication Date: 2005

Fireproofing is employed in refineries and petrochemical plants to minimize the escalation of a fire that would occur with the failure of structural supports and the overheating of pressure vessels. The damage that fire could potentially do very early on, could add significant fuel to the fire.

Fitness-for-Purpose Research of OCTG for Underground Gas Storage Applications in H2/CO2 Environments

Product Number: 51320-14698-SG

In China, some underground gas storages (UGS) would be built to reserve the gaseous coal gas (CO, H2, CO2, H2O, etc.). Gaseous hydrogen induced hydrogen embrittlement (HE) and CO2 corrosion could possess great threat to the safety of OCTG in UGS. Fitness-for-purpose research of OCTG materials is urgently expected to screen out the suitable material for tubing application in UGS.
HE resistance and CO2 corrosion of OCTG materials (C110, 3Cr-90S, 13Cr-110 and 13Cr-110S) were investigated by slow strain rate testing and weight loss tests in UGS environments containing CO2 and H2. SSRT results show that both elongation ratio and reduction in area ratio of C110, 13Cr-110 and 13Cr-110S were more than 80%, except for 3Cr-90S. In addition, 3Cr-90S and 13Cr-110 tested in H2/CO2 environments possessed embrittled regions and secondary cracks, respectively. Weight loss test results show that C110 and 3Cr-90S exhibited high corrosion rates, which were classified as severe corrosion followed by qualitative categorization of corrosion rates for oil production systems in NACE RP0775. For stainless steels (13Cr-110 and 13Cr-110S), the corrosion rates were very low (low corrosion). Combined with the above results, 13Cr-110S could be the suitable OCTG material for UGS containing gaseous coal gas.

Critical equipment in high pressure high temperature (HPHT) oil and gas wells are commonly made of superalloys. Components in these wells require both high strength and corrosion resistance. In this study, four superalloys: Elgiloy (UNS R30003), MP35N (UNS R30035), Alloy 718 (UNS N07718) and 945X (UNS N09946) were tested in an environment with H2S, CO2, and high chlorides. Four-point bend tests were performed with N07718 and UNS N09946 materials while three-point bend tests were done on UNS R30003 and UNS R30035 in an autoclave with pH2S of 0.025 bar and pCO2 16.6 bar, and 308 g/L Cl- at 363°F for 30 days. Neither cracking nor pitting was observed on any of the four-point or three-point bend specimens. In addition to four-point bend testing, slow strain rate tests were performed on UNS N07718 and UNS N09946 materials. Results of the slow strain rate test showed no significant decrease in ductility in either UNS N09946 or UNS N07718. However, UNS N09946 performed better than UNS N07718 in a high chloride environment based solely on SSRT results.

Flame Retardant Polyurethane Corrosion Protective Coating

Metal and its structures corrosion is a natural process. The process started and accelerated in the presence of electrolytes [1, 2]. Thus, it's highly encouraged to stop this electrolyte passage. One of the ways to resist the passage of electrolytes is by making a barrier. The most popular method of such a barrier is an organic coating which mainly comes from polymer resin along with pigments, and additives. Different organic coatings are being used to make a barrier that can ultimately protect the metals and their structures. Epoxy, polyurethane (PU), and acrylate coatings are widely being used for this purpose.
