Once polymers are used reliably in a specific service, they become the material of choice due to their cost effectiveness. However, to choose and apply polymers dependably, one must consider their unique properties – they are different from the metals we use industrially. Through various examples of damaged and failed parts, this paper illustrates fundamental information about choosing, using, and keeping polymers in service. Polymers are subject to permeation, oxidation, aging, fatigue, installation damage, and other damage.

To use polymers industrially, one must be cognisant of how their properties differ from those of metals. For many industrial applications, the minimal degradation and long and dependable service of non-metallics make them essential. However, non-metallics have properties that fundamentally differ from those considered when selecting and using metals. This paper presents polymer characteristics that significantly impact their use at industrial sites. The information covers hoses, lined pipe, fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) piping and tanks, o-rings, and pipelines with liners. The paper discusses characteristics such as permeation, oxidation, and viscoelasticity, along with examples of how these properties determined the service of failed parts.

Building an Oil and Water Partitioning Model for Corrosion Inhibitor Dosage Based on Novel Residual Technique

Product Number: 51323-19205-SG

In the production of oil and gas, corrosion inhibitor (CI) is usually dosed into multiphase flows (oil/water/gas). The partitioning behavior of CI among the different phases is a critical factor for a successful application. Unreliable measurement of CI residuals can lead to inaccurate dosing, overtreatment, and higher operating costs.

The service life of current offshore platform coatings are normally less than 10 years. It is very expensive ($100/ft2) to rehabilitate the offshore platform coatings in the field. Therefore, facility owners are very anxious to select the long-life coatings. The candidate coatings are normally tested in the lab following the ISO 12944-91 or the AMPP TM216122 standard.

Reinforced Thermosetting Resin Pipes (RTRP) Failures & Quality Control Measures Adopted During Construction of The Largest LNGI facility in Kuwait

Product Number: 51323-18799-SG
Author: Faisal Al-Refai, Yousef J. Mansour, Fahad Al-Qanaee, Anas Abdelmotelb
Publication Date: 2023

This paper, presents the isolated and common cases of failure, recounting the troubleshooting practices followed and the verified remedial actions. Much of these cases, lessons learned, and quality control measures provide valuable tools to users of this type of piping material in the oil & gas industry. This paper also sheds lights on the shortcomings of RTRP, that are usually trumped by operational benefits.
