Key Points Specifically For Transmission Pipeline Coating

Product Number: 51322-17760-SG

Author: Ron Raphoon

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

The bulk of a pipeline coating is shop applied and those processes are typically automated. Because
the automation of pipeline coating has so many controls, there is little need to address the inspection on the body of the mainline coatings. As such, this paper will address inspection of pipeline specific coating types and their unique considerations in a field environment. It will address concerns around tie-ing into other coating types and compatibility.

Kinetics of Iron Dissolution: A New Approach for Modeling the Anodic Potentiodynamics Based on Transient Analysis

Product Number: 51323-19073-SG

Author: Mohiedin Bagheri Hariri, Bruce Brown, Srdjan Nesic

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Although extensive research has been carried out on modeling the cathodic potentiodynamic sweep during the corrosion of iron/steel, previous studies have not been able to layout a systematic approach to mechanistically describe the kinetics and model anodic dissolution. This study offers some insights into the mechanistic modeling of electrochemical anodic reactions at different experimental conditions. For iron dissolution, there are two well-known mechanisms valid for strong acid solutions (pH ≤ 4) in the literature; namely, the “catalytic mechanism” proposed by Heusler et al., and the “consecutive mechanism” proposed by Bockris et al.

Lab Research and Filed Experience of HDPE-Lined Tubing used in Nitrogen Injection Well

Product Number: 51319-13346-SG

Author: An Qing Fu

Publication Date: 2019

The tubing of nitrogen injection well suffered heavily corrosion due to nitrogen containing 2%~5% oxygen HDPE-lined tubing was employed as one of the cost-effective measures to mitigate tubing corrosion. Two kinds of HDPE liner with white and black colors were selected as candidates for tubing liner used in nitrogen injection well performance of two HDPE liners were characterized under three conditions including as-received (A) after one month immersed in simulated oxygen-containing water under elevated temperature (B) half-year serviced in field downhole environment (C). The values of vicat softening temperature of red and blue HDPE liners are 84.5℃ and 82.6℃ respectively the vicat softening temperature is known as the key parameter for non-metallic material selection.In lab test the elongation after fracture tensile strength micro-morphology of HDPE liners tested in condition B (80℃) is almost identical to condition A; while the elongation is substantially lost in condition B (100℃) the general appearance of two liners is still white and black but several cracks were observed on both HDPE liners by microscope; two liners are full with cracks in condition B (120℃) and the elongation is totally lost the general appearance of two liners is both black due to carbonizing; the two liners are further carbonized in condition B (140℃) only small pieces were founded after test.It is found that the white HDPE liner is better than black liner white HDPE lined tubing was selected for nitrogen injection well seven tubing sections used for nitrogen injection well from bottom to top with temperature varied from 120℃ to 80℃. The liners of bottom three sections with temperature from 110℃ to 120℃ are totally fallen off only tubing body with heavily corrosion and corrosion products were observed. The liners of middle three sections with temperature from 97℃ to 88℃ are cracked which are still adhered to the tubing body the color is black due to carbonizing. The liner of the top one section with temperature of 80 ℃ is still in intact condition the values of vicat softening temperature in condition A condition B (80℃) and condition C (80℃) are 84.5℃ 82.6℃ and 79.8℃ the values of elongation after fracture are 511.25 430.88 and 511.20 the values of tensile strength are 29.82MPa 23.56MPa and 23.42MPa. It is can be seen that the lab simulated test are highly in accordance with the field test results which provided a good guidance for the selection of HDPE liner for nitrogen injection well.

Laboratory And Full-Scale Qualification Of An Abrasion Resistant Overcoat Wrap

As onshore pipeline rights-of-way become more congested and urban sprawl increases, the number of horizontal directional drills (HDDs) will likely increase. HDD is a trenchless pipeline installation method that requires drilling a larger pilot hole where the mainline pipe can be subsequently pulled through the drilled hole. However, HDDs have an increased probability for coating damage, even when coated with traditional mill or field applied abrasion resistant overcoat (ARO). This coating damage includes abrasion, impact, gouging, denting, tearing, bending, etc. and that damage may exist for the life of the pipeline due to an HDD being inaccessible for future maintenance.

Corrosion, which is the degradation of materials due to chemical or electrochemical reactions with their environment, poses significant economic and safety concerns across various industries, including infrastructure, transportation, energy, and the Oil and Gas sector 1. Biocorrosion, initiated by microbial activities, has gained significant attention due to its destructive effects on metallic structures and critical assets 2. The formation of biofilms by microbial induced bacteria such as sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and acid-producing bacteria (APB) has been identified as a prominent mechanism contributing to biocorrosion in various environments such as oil and gas.

Product Number: ED22-17383-SG

Author: Cody Williams, James Hyres, Cody Campbell, Kevin Mon, John Beale

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

This paper covers testing on irradiated Zircaloy-4 (Zr-4) water channel segments removed from Browns Ferry Unit 3. Methods included tensile testing, scanning electron microscopy, fracture toughness testing, hydrogen determinations, and microstructural characterizations. This testing was performed to assess the impact of hydrogen on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the water channel material. The properties of the irradiated Zr-4 material were then compared to non-irradiated Zr-4 material hydrided to four increasing concentrations of hydrogen.

At present, with the increasing in demand for natural gas, all gas production companies are increasing their efforts in natural gas exploration and development. Corrosion is one of the problems during the wet gas transporting, and this can be solved by adding corrosion inhibitor(CI) in most case. However, there are no standards for the Cis performance used in gas gathering and transportation pipelines, which may lead to some gapsbetweentheR&Dscientistsandtheneedsofcorrosioninhibitorusers. Based on the demand of some gas production companies for the CIs, this paper puts forward the performance requirements and corresponding indexes of Cis for natural gas gathering and transportation system, and given some advice on the evaluation method.
