The increasing need for fossil fuels has resulted in more aggressive drilling and exploitation in oil and gas production industry. As new explorations at more extreme conditions (i.e. high temperature and high pressure) become more frequent, new challenges arise in terms of drilling equipment, operation conditions and safe production. Among those challenges, the mineral scale deposition, as one of the serious problems both for the surface and subsurface oilfields, can cause pipelines plugging, equipment failure and decrease in production efficiency, even emergency shutdown.

In this study, the solubility of zinc sulfide has been collected from the literature at pH 2 to 11, temperature 23 to 250 °C, pressure 0.6 to 150 bar, and ionic strength 0 to 4.6 m. A solubility model has been developed based on the combination of Pitzer theory calculated activity coefficient and speciation of the Zn-HS-OH-Cl aqueous system. In total, around 230 solubility data were collected as the input database, the model was fitted in Matalab 2020a with the particle-swarm optimization. The updated model is able to predict the ZnS solubility saturation index (SI) with 95% confidence interval 0.04 SI unit, which suggested good accuracy under model conditions. Due to the extremely low solubility of the ZnS itself, these errors correspond to only around 0.07 ppm of [Zn(II)], which is less than the error of measurement for field samples. For all pH conditions, Zn-HS complexes and Zn-Cl complexes have strong influence on the aqueous soluble zinc solubility. This new model with accurate ZnS solubility prediction will help field operators to better control the ZnS scaling and corrosion problem.

For decades, many asset owner/operators across the O&G value chain (and other critical industry segments) of upstream, midstream, & downstream have struggled to identify the root cause of fluctuating corrosion/erosion rates due to unreliable or infrequent data during various operating intervals on their most valuable of assets. This key missing data point has forced mechanical integrity teams, corrosion engineers, inspectors, and operations to, in many cases, make the best guess or hypothesize how to operate with a limited data set of information. In almost all cases, a time-based inspection or maintenance interval is used to gauge the useful lifetime of assets based on this limited data simply because these assets couldn’t give their owners a real-time health diagnostic of how they were doing … until now.

Why Voltage Matters For High Voltage Holiday Testing On Steel

A holiday is defined as a pinhole or discontinuity in a coating lining. These discontinuities are frequently very small and not readily visible and create a pathway for oxygen and an electrolyte to cause deterioration of the underlying substrate. These defects will tend to reduce the life expectancy of a coating in service, particularly if the service is to include immersion, such as the lining of a tank or a pipe.

Oil and gas wells represent a large capital investment. It is imperative that corrosion of well casings be controlled to prevent loss of oil and gas, environmental damage, and personnel hazards, and in order to ensure economical depletion of oil and gas reserve. Wells placed in external corrosive environment shall be protected by appropriate barriers such as additional cemented casing, cathodic protection and coating to assure well casing integrity.
