Wells in oil, gas and geothermal production experience a broad spectrum of operating conditions in terms of temperature, depth, pressure and production environments, which govern material selection. For severe environments, where high strength and toughness combined with excellent corrosion and cracking resistance are required, a new superaustenitic stainless steel has been recently developed. Aiming for a minimum yield strength of at least 120 ksi (827 MPa), strain hardening enables the desired mechanical properties, allowing users to avoid well known but HISC susceptible and less cost effective precipitation hardened (PH) nickel alloys.
