Effective SCC Inspection Of In-Situ Oil Sands Pipelines Using Advanced Eddy Current Array Technology

Effective SCC Inspection of In-Situ Oil Sands Pipelines Using Advanced Eddy Current Array Technology
Available for download

ECA technologies are not very well known in the oil and gas industry and are still undeservedly suffering from the bad reputation of traditional eddy current testing from twenty years ago. Eddy current techniques are often humorously compared to "black magic" in the sense that the results are difficult to understand, the probes are complicated to use, and only eddy current gurus can use it efficiently. However, ECA has evolved significantly over the past 15 years and is now much easier and more intuitive to use.

This paper presents the successful deployment of advanced eddy current array (ECA) probes for the inspection of intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) present on the external surface of aboveground in-situ pipelines. During an inspection campaign carried out in 2020 and 2021 mainly on emulsion and produced gas pipelines, more than 20 indications were found over 20 kilometers of pipeline. These indications range from 5 mm to 400 mm long by 1 mm to 12 mm deep. The technology provided the pipeline operator a fast method for IGSCC detection leading to cost-effective inspection and maintenance planning, while preventing the risk of loss of product containment.

Pyrolysis processes of post-consumer plastics are a promising chemical recycling route and a good alternative to disposal. Nevertheless, these processes are challenging for metallic materials since chlorine containing materials or biological components inside the feedstock can yield HCl and H2S, respectively, during cracking. In combination with high temperatures of the reactor zone metallic construction materials can be attacked by high-temperature corrosion.

The spread of disbondment or corrosion from a scribe or holiday in a coating film, for which the terms rust creepage or undercutting are used in this paper is an important mechanism of coating degradation. The mechanism of rust creepage has been well studied by several authors who concur that the mechanism is driven by electrochemical reactions15. The reactions occurring at the discontinuity in the coating (scribe or holiday) involve an anodic reaction in which iron is dissolved. Adjacent to the anodic region, under the coating, a cathodic reaction occurs in which oxygen is reduced to hydroxyl ions.

With the rapid development of China's economy, energy and transportation industries have developed rapidly, and more and more oil and gas pipelines and urban rail transit have been built and put into use. Urban rail transportation systems, such as subways or light rail, generally use direct current traction and backflow through the rail. Because the track is not completely insulated from the earth, it is inevitable that some electric current will be discharged from the track to the earth to form stray electric current, which will cause interference to the surrounding metal components such as buried oil and gas pipelines.
