Stray Current Interference Simulation and Mitigation Associated with Light Rail Transit (LRT) Systems and Adjacent Metallic Pipelines – A Case Study

Product Number: 51323-18926-SG

Author: Boshra Momen Nejad, Jeffrey Delorme, Brandon Miller

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

During operation of DC rail transit systems, DC current will follow the path of least resistance when returning to the Traction Power Substations (TPSS) to complete the electrical circuit. If the track-to-earth resistance (resistance between the train rails and surrounding soil) is not sufficient, current can leak off the LRT track system into the surrounding soil. Metallic facilities such as pipelines in the soil offer lower resistance paths for the current while returning to the TPSS.

Stress Cracking and Fatigue Resistance of Seamless Pipes for Hydrogen Storage and Transport Applications

Product Number: 51323-19050-SG

Author: Florian Thebault, Laurent Delattre, Vincent Designolle

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Hydrogen gas is called to play a key role in the energy transition and initiatives needed for a
decarbonization of the economy. Initially, assets for energy storage and transport were developed and qualified for the purpose of the oil and gas industry, especially natural gas. Repurposing of existing assets for the use of hydrogen gas, or creation of new dedicated hydrogen transport and storage infrastructure, is a great challenge for future hydrogen projects. It includes the qualification of steel materials under
hydrogen gas environment.

Studying Impact on Variation of Scribe Method in Accelerated Corrosion Testing

Product Number: 51323-19351-SG

Author: James D. Begley, Victor Georgic, Suprita Jharimune, Qi Zheng

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Accelerated testing of corrosion-resistant coatings is a critical tool used in the development of protective coatings. Tests such as ASTM B117, ISO 12944, ISO 9227, etc. are commonly used to predict the long-term viability of these coatings in exposure times of months rather than years or even decades. While this type of testing gives meaningful results and is essential to the research and development of new technology, results can often be hard to accurately analyze due to the levels of variability inherent to accelerated testing.

Supercritical CO2 Corrosion in Production Casing Due to Contaminated Gas Lift

Product Number: 51323-19211-SG

Author: André Ferreira Lazaro, Antônio Carlos Ramos Júnior, Ilson Palmieri Baptista, Javier Alejandro Carreno Velasco, Gabriela Gomes Paiva de Souza

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Pre-salt carbonate reservoirs in the Santos Basin are a challenge for offshore well design and
construction. Located under a salt layer of around 2000 m, they generate large amounts of carbon dioxide associated with oil and gas production. To avoid releasing millions of cubic meters of CO2 into the atmosphere, the gas is reinjected or used for artificial lift purposes, where its fraction can reach up to 80% of the total composition.

Surface treated metallic bipolar plates as an alternative to platinized titanium

Product Number: 51323-19247-SG

Author: Jakub Ludvík, Richard Bureš, Milan Kouřil, Hala Miroslav, Fojt Jaroslav, Michalcová Alena, Iryna Danylo

Publication Date: 2023

Organic coatings protect the underlying metallic substrate against corrosion by acting as a barrier to corrosive species such as water, ions, and oxygen. Unfortunately, coatings might contain defects and could degrade or disbond under some environmental conditions, resulting in favorable pathways for such corrosive species.

Barrier protection is one of the modes by which intact coatings provide protection to metal substrates through a reduction of the transport of materials, ions, or charge.

Susceptibility of martensitic stainless steels to hydrogen embrittlement

Product Number: 51323-19273-SG

Author: Lütfi Ekmekci, Merlin Seifert, Clara Herrera

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

A decarbonized energy system is underway worldwide. The Paris Agreement goal is to keep global warming “below 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels, and to pursue effort to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius.” To achieve this long-term temperature goal, big changes are needed in the ways energy is produced, distributed and storage.

Synthesis of Silane-Modified Nanoparticles-Based Corrosion Inhibitor for Acidic Corrosion

Product Number: 51323-18882-SG

Author: Norah Aljeaban, Bader Alharbi, Ahmed Busaleh, Tawfik A. Saleh

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Acidizing process is generally performed on wells to maximize their initial productivity and on aging wells to restore productivity and maximize the recovery of the energy resources. The process involves pumping acid into a wellbore or geologic formation that is capable of producing oil and/or gas. Well acidizing is accomplished by pumping acid into the well to dissolve limestone, dolomite and calcite cement between the sediment grains of the reservoir rocks.

Systematic Approach toward Damage Mechanism Reviews and Mechanical Integrity Improvements for Ammonia Synthesis and Fertilizer Facilities

Product Number: 51323-19349-SG

Author: Michael Nugent, Daniel J. Benac, Sean Berg

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

The use of Damage Mechanisms (DM’s) has been successfully developed and applied in the Oil Refining
industry for over 20 years. A damage mechanism is a specific combination of mechanical, chemical,
physical, or other processes that result in equipment degradation (piping or equipment) during operation
(active or shut down). These have been defined for Oil Refining (API RP 5711). API RP 571 is
supplemented with some similar and some specific individual damage mechanism, by technical reports, recommended practices, publications, and bulletins from API, as well as from the National Association of
Corrosion Engineers (NACE - now known as the Association for Materials Protection and Performance
or AMPP), and the Welding Research Council (WRC).

Systematic Risk Evaluation of Calcium Sulfate Formation in Production System

Product Number: 51323-19511-SG

Scale formation is one of the flow assurance problems encountered in the oil and gas industry. It can deposit from reservoir, downhole tubing to topside facilities. Once formed, it could have a significant impact on production, including tubing and valve blockage, interference of well intervention, and even well abundance.

Calcium sulfate is one of the common scales formed in the oilfields.

Tafel-Piontelli model for the prediction of the corrosion rate of active metals in weakly acidic environments. Application to sweet corrosion in the Oil and Gas industry

Product Number: 51323-19254-SG

Author: Elena Messinese, Marco Ormellese, Andrea Brenna

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Corrosion-related losses represent approximately 30% of the hydrocarbons extraction and treatment industry's failures, with a total annual cost of US$ 1.372 billion. The oil&gas industry has widely recognized the importance of implementing effective prediction and management systems to reduce costs and guarantee compliance with safety, health, and environmental regulations. In this context, it is safe to narrow the oilfield corrosion problem mainly towards the two most severe degradation cases observed during operation: the sweet CO₂-related and H₂S-related corrosion.

Technology Advancements for Electrochemical Protection Systems of Reinforced Concrete Structures, Across Australia

Product Number: 51323-18881-SG

Author: Nicholas Critchley, Blane McGuiness, Oliver Gasior

Publication Date: 2023

Electrochemical protection techniques have provided owners of reinforced concrete infrastructure a highly effective option for controlling reinforcement corrosion. This is particularly so for coastal assets, such as wharves and bridges which are exposed to seawater and in turn the corrosive effects that
follow as chlorides migrate through the concrete cover to the reinforcement. Protection technologies have evolved considerably over the past 30 years in the Australian market.
