Optimizing Sour Gas Qualification Testing – Modeling the Effects of Temperature and Total Pressure on H2S Fugacity, Activity, and Solubility Coefficients

Traditionally, sour severity of high-pressure, high temperature (HPHT) oil and gas production wells were assessed by H2S partial pressure (PH2S): The mole fraction of H2S in the gas (yH2S) multiplied by the total pressure (PT). While PH2S is appropriate for characterizing the sour severity of wellbores operating at low total pressures (e.g., PT < 35 MPa) and/or for highly sour systems (e.g., yH2S > 1 mol%), PH2S usually over-predicts the actual sour severity of HPHT systems, leading to sub-optimal material selection options.

Traditionally, sour severity of high-pressure, high temperature (HPHT) oil and gas production wells were assessed by H2S partial pressure (PH2S): The mole fraction of H2S in the gas (yH2S) multiplied by the total pressure (PT). However, PH2S usually over-predicts the actual sour severity of HPHT systems, leading to sub-optimal material selection choices. To reflect recent advances in thermodynamic modeling and to avoid over conservatism, after careful deliberation, ANSI/NACE MR0175-2021/ISO 15156-2:2022 recently expanded the number of sour severity metrics to four: PH2S, fugacity (fH2S), chemical activity (aH2S) and dissolved concentration (CH2S) of the aqueous phase. The new metrics are often computationally derived and account for thermodynamic non-idealities, which are significant at HPHT conditions. Regardless of preferred metric, quantifying the sensitivity of each metric to a wide range of temperatures and total pressures is critical when conducting H2S service assessments.

Martensitic Stainless Steel (SMSS) is widely used for downhole production tubing and liners in the Oil & Gas industry. Optimization of the tubular material chemistry, cleanliness and manufacturing route has delivered useful performance in H2S-containing environments (specifically SSC and stress corrosion cracking [SCC])3 resistance4,5,6. Some tubular accessories and most completion equipment require sizes not readily delivered by tubular product form. In these instances, bar stock material is a pragmatic choice.

The effect of reeling on the qualification of CRA lined and clad pipes according to NACE MR0175/ISO 15156-3: a methodology to qualify reeled pipelines

The use of carbon steel pipelines lined or clad with corrosion resistant alloys (CRAs) is increasing in the O&G industry. These pipelines combine the mechanical properties of carbon steel with the corrosion resistance of CRAs. Some CRAs such as AISI 316L (UNS 31603) are not pre-qualified according to ANSI/NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 part 3. The potential for corrosion and cracking of carbon steel in some applications can require a CRA liner/clad layer to resist corrosion but this can introduce the possible risk of stress corrosion cracking of some CRAs.

This paper discusses a study wherein the SSC resistance of 13Cr bar stock quenched and tempered to 22 HRC maximum hardness was tested and evaluated beyond the maximum H2S limit of 10 kPa (1.5 psi) established in NACE MR0175/ISO 15156-3 for use in sour service.
