Development of Autonomous Microbe Sensor (AMS) at Seawater Injection System (SWIS)

Product Number: 51319-13246-SG

Author: Fahad Al-Abeedi

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

The main purpose of the system is to treat and transfer seawater to maintain reservoir pressure. The system’s design capacity is 12.5 million barrels of treated seawater per day. Microbial growth in the water injection system is a well-known problem with severe operational and financial consequences for the petroleum industry including microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) reduced injectivity reservoir plugging production downtime and extensive repair costs. Therefore monitoring of system microbiology is essential in any mitigation strategy enabling operators to apply and adjust countermeasures properly and in due time. To overcome the MIC challenges Saudi Aramco in collaboration with international company has developed an Autonomous Microbe Sensor (AMS) technology (Bacteria Sensor) to detect & measure in real-time & on-line the bacteria counts in sea water injection system. AMS that is based on advanced staining of bacterial DNA will provide bacterial results to operators within 1 hour. The technology will help in optimizing the biocide chemical consumption and ensuring adequate microbial control in the complex Sea Water Injection System (SWIS). Thus ensuring pipelines reliability and integrity.

Preliminary Study to Characterize Concrete Durability by Water Permeation and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy

Product Number: 51324-21167-SG

Author: Kingsley Lau; Amer Awwad; Samanbar Permeh; Atorod Azizinamini

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Sustainability of civil infrastructure construction can in part be attained by better testing to identify important material characteristics that affect durability. The quality of the concrete in reinforced concrete structures is a primary factor that enhances corrosion durability of reinforced concrete structures. The concrete may be assessed for quality control using methods such as bulk ion diffusivity tests, accelerated electrical migration tests, and electrical resistivity. There is interest in non-destructive in-situ testing for assessment of structures in service. In this study, preliminary tests were conducted to characterize the durability of concrete using a water permeation test, acoustic testing, as well as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Test results showed that the electrical properties of the hardened concrete can be assessed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy where a high frequency impedance loop (relating to the bulk material and internal moisture content) can be discerned. The concretes with lower water-to-cement ratio and larger coarse aggregates showed larger resonant frequency values that can be attributed to greater developed stiffness. A water permeation test was also demonstrated to differentiate internal moisture conditions, and its results (described by a decay factor derived from mass and energy balance) was well correlated to its concrete electrical parameters.

Field Testing – The Correlation Between Accelerated Laboratory Tests and Field Testing

Product Number: 51319-13154-SG

Author: Anders W. B. Skilbred

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

All protective coatings are thoroughly tested using accelerated laboratory tests. Accelerated testing has the advantage of providing data and results in a relatively short timeframe and the conditions of testing are pre-defined and controlled throughout the test. However accelerated testing also has disadvantages. Accelerated testing at e.g. tougher environmental conditions or higher temperatures may give different degradation mechanisms than at in service conditions.Field exposures can be used as a supplement to accelerated testing and can be utilized as a verification of the test setup.In this paper results from several atmospheric accelerated laboratory exposure tests for numerous protective coating systems have been compared to results obtained from up to nine years of field exposure testing in a marine environment corresponding to corrosion category C5 according to ISO 12944-2.The comparison shows varying correlation between accelerated laboratory tests and field exposures. This indicates that high performance of a coating system during accelerated laboratory testing is not necessarily predictive for high long term performance under in-service conditions. Potentially causing premature coating failures under in service conditions.The authors therefore propose ailormade test scheme for the various generic coatings and the in-service conditions and for the industry to accept a more holistic view on coating performance.

ISBN: 978-1-57590-423-8

$190.00

Concrete surface preparation differs from surface preparation of steel, mostly due to the inherent properties of concrete.

Concrete is a non-uniform mixture of porous, permeable materials (cement, sand, stone, additives, water) with low tensile strength and often numerous cracks and defects. It will vary in properties, including moisture content, from site to site and within any site due to the batched nature of its production and installation.

Ranging from the basics of corrosion in reinforced concrete to using forensic science to determine concrete coatings failure, in this Standards and Best Practice for Surface Preparation and Coating Application of Concrete reference book, students and technicians learn problem solving via multiple case studies and technical artiles.

Splash and immersion zones on offshore installations are areas that are exposed to extremely aggressive environments due to the effects of sea water, tides, wind, waves, and/or ultraviolet radiation. Various certifications such as NORSOK(1) exist to help guide customers select a coating based on its corrosion resistance performance. Despite the necessity of these standards, it is helpful to understand that other properties such as substrate surface and cure conditions can greatly effect performance of the coatings. In this paper, we will compare adhesion of two coatings to different substrate surface conditions while both coatings will be cured in two different environments. Our goal is to investigate the effect of curing environment of coatings on adhesion to the substrate.

Influence of Manufacturing Process and Resulting Microstructure on HISC Susceptibility of 25Cr Duplex Stainless Steel Pipe

Product Number: 51319-13410-SG

Author: Roy Johnsen

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Due to its attractive combination of strength corrosion resistance and cost 25% Cr Duplex Stainless Steel Pipe is used extensively in subsea production systems. Pipes are made by different production methods. The various production methods affect the microstructure and the mechanical properties of the final product. Components used subsea are externally exposed to cathodic protection. Experiences have shown that 25Cr duplex stainless steel is vulnerable to hydrogen induced stress cracking (HISC). The assumption is that the resulting microstructure affects the resistance. This is reflected in the DNVGL-RP-F112 design guideline which uses austenite spacing to determine a design factor. In this paper the HISC susceptibility of 25Cr duplex stainless-steel pipes produced through hot extrusion with- and without subsequent cold drawing forging and centrifugal casting have been examined. Two different test methods have been used; i) Stepwise (slow) load increase and ii) Slow Strain Rate Testing. Samples pre-charged with hydrogen and samples without hydrogen were included in the test program. Pre-charged samples were also polarised cathodically during testing under stress.The microstructure was characterised including measurements of austenite spacing. After testing the samples were examined in optical microscope for secondary cracks. In addition the fracture surfaces were examined in scanning electron microscope for characterisation of fracture morphology. Reduction in area were calculated for all samples. Finally hydrogen content in selected samples were measured with a melt extraction technique.The tests revealed that 25Cr duplex stainless steel from the different production methods included in the test showed various degree of HISC and that the effect was dependant on the production method and resulting microstructure. Hot extruded material with no cold deformation showed the highest HISC resistance while centrifugal cast material seemed to be more exposed to HISC than the other methods. The fracture surfaces of all hydrogen charged test materials showed features indicating a reduction in ductility due to HISC as well as both ductile and brittle fracture characteristics across the surfaces. The fracture surfaces for the reference specimens showed ductile fracture characteristics. The hydrogen content in the charged samples were in the range 50-80 wppm.The ranking of production methods was as follows: hot extruded pipes > hot extruded pipes with subsequent cold drawing > forged pipes >centrifugal cast pipes.The two test methods – stepwise load increase and SSRT – gave consistent test results.

Using Guided Waves Testing (GWT) for the Integrity Inspection of Pipelines

Product Number: 51324-20599-SG

Author: Osvaldo Mejia; Ayoub Al Mahrami

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Since its commercial launching, guided wave testing (GWT), a.k.a. long-range ultrasonic testing (LRUT), has been largely applied in the oil and gas industry for the inspection of pipelines, due to its faculty for screening large lengths of pipeline from a single point of contact. This capability has made the GWT one of the “other technologies” most employed in the integrity inspection of pipelines; however, regardless of its broad usage, industry standards guiding the integrity management of pipelines do not provide a clear framework for the use of GWT, neither do they agree on the role that it plays in the integrity assessment process. For example, some standards classify the GWT as a standalone corrosion integrity assessment method, while others reference it as an inspection technique, and others allocate it as a corrosion monitoring technique. This paper makes a comprehensive review of the involvement of the GWT in the pipeline’s integrity management process and intends to provide a clear framework for the use of guided wave testing (GWT) as an integrity inspection method for pipelines.

Determining Repair and Replacement of Legacy Pipeline Systems

Product Number: 51319-13427-SG

Author: Jason Land

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Legacy pipeline operators face increased regulatory challenges. Legacy systems have decades of metal loss and coating damage from forces pressure cycling thermal stresses and other physical phenomena that weaken the pipeline; years of damage make the pipeline more susceptible to leaks or rupture related to integrity threats. Management of a legacy system requires corrosion control. Mechanical integrity can be maintained by coupling an appropriate inspection schedule with relevant remedial responses. Legacy pipelines can then be operated under acceptable risk levels to the public the environment and the business.Engineering economic analysis demonstrates that well planned corrosion management can provide a cost-effective safe operation over the life cycle of pipelines and valuable information to decide whether to extend the operational life of the asset. This financial analysis incorporates the cost of the necessary mitigative actions comparing the cost of the continuing mitigative actions to the cost of replacement while folding in the key components of risk.

Qualification of High Temperature FBE for Offshore Services

Product Number: 51319-13351-SG

Author: Catherine Lam

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

The demand for high temperature (≤150⁰C) protective coating systems for offshore service has proliferated due to the increase in high temperature pipelines developments in Asia Pacific and Gulf of Mexico regions. Three-layer Polypropylene and multi-layer coating systems are typically used as anti-corrosion coatings for offshore pipelines as they are capable of withstanding operating temperatures as high as 150⁰C and they are resistance to water and mechanical damage. Recently there is an increasing interest in using standalone fusion bonded epoxy coatings single or dual-layer systems for high temperature offshore services. However there is insufficient data available to determine the fitness of purpose for offshore HT environments. Different HT FBE were evaluated and this presentation discusses the performance of coating systems subjected to simulated service testing. In addition test results obtained from a 2-year thermal ageing programunder nitrogen environment will be reviewed and compared between standalone HT FBE and 3LPP coating systems. A qualification protocol will be introduced for HT coating systems for offshore pipelines.

Hydrogen Embrittlement of Additively Manufactured Inconel 718

Product Number: 51319-13453-SG

Author: Liu Cao

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Precipitation hardenable nickel alloys are commonly used in oil and gas offshore structures where requires outstanding mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. In seawater galvanic coupling to steel or cathodic protection promotes the formation of atomic hydrogen on the surface of Inconel 718. Hydrogen atoms further dissolve into the metal matrix and cause hydrogen embrittlement. The unconventional Additive Manufacturing (AM) process generates fine microstructure and alters surface finish that affect hydrogen intake process and the subsequent hydrogen embrittlement. The effects of hydrogen embrittlement are investigated on different build orientations and surface finish of AM Inconel 718 by slow strain rate (SSR) testing in seawater environment under cathodic protection. The susceptibility of AM 718 to hydrogen embrittlement is discussed based on the SSR results and metallography analysis with respect to its wrought counterpart.

Nickel alloy UNS N07718 (Alloy 718) is extensively used in the oil and gas industry. However, it is limited by NACE MR0175/ISO15156 which only permits use at a maximum of 200 psi (1.38 MPa) H2S partial pressure at 400°F (204°C). To expand the Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) safe use limit of Alloy 718, NACE TM0198 Slow Strain Rate (SSR) testing was performed first to identify an upper H2S limit (i.e., 650 psi [4.48 MPa]). NACE TM0177 C-ring testing subsequently qualified Alloy 718 at this high limit in modified NACE Level VII conditions, and also under 910 psi (6.27 MPa) H2S partial pressure in a simulated field environment (total 15 ksi [103 MPa]) based on equivalent dissolved H2S concentration. This is the highest service H2S limit reported for Alloy 718 and also evidence that validates the effectiveness of dissolved H2S concentration as new sour severity metric for Ni alloy SCC qualification.

Solventborne 2-pack (2K) epoxy-amine coating systems have for many years been commonly used to formulate high performance protective coatings such as metal anti-corrosion primers and concrete floor coatings. However, due to the concerns linked to their high volatile organic compounds (VOC) contents, waterborne alternatives with comparable performance are needed.

For many decades, paint strippers have used hazardous solvents such as methylene chloride and N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) to effectively remove paints and coatings. But safety and environmental concerns have introduced an urgent need for environmentally-friendly alternatives. In March 2019, EPA banned the use methylene chloride in all paint removers for consumer use. However, its replacement, NMP, is now also deemed as a substance of very high concern (SVHC) and in jeopardy of being an option for paint stripping by regulatory forces.

The newly developed green paint stripper discussed here is free from methylene chloride and NMP. It achieves an environmentally-friendly profile by utilizing agricultural base stocks and recycled industrial solvents. It meets USDA criteria for biobased paint strippers and graffiti removers, and it complies to the VOC requirements of the California Reduced Emission Regulation for Consumer Products. This low odor and biodegradable paint stripper/graffiti remover effectively removes acrylic, alkyd, and urethane-based coatings, as well as marker ink comparably to petrochemical-based and NMP-containing products. In addition, the product contains corrosion inhibitors to prevent discoloration and flash rust on ferrous metals, aluminium, copper, and brass during and after paint removal.

Optimizing Equipment Availability through Structured Engineering Assessment

The recognized international codes, such as ASME [1], API[2], BS[3] provide design and fabrication guidelines for various equipment used in industries viz. pressure vessels, piping and storage tanks. However, the fabrication standards do not address acceptability of the equipment on detection of any deterioration; once put in to the operation.
The engineering assessment becomes essential when flaws such as “leakage”, ‘metal loss’ or ‘linear indications’ are detected during routine inspections. Sometimes, observed damages or flaws, do not meet the definition criteria as per assessment steps given in the international standards of fitness for service. In order to asses such damages, a structured engineering approach based on experience and judgment would help in such situations.
Describing the structured engineering assessment approach, this paper discusses a case study on typical ‘hydrogenation reactor’ that displayed micro-level leakage. Until 2015, the reactor often leaked during service prior to the assessment. This approach using various NDT methods, microstructural examination and structured engineering analysis identified the problem of dilution of base metal with welding that was leading to inter dendritic corrosion at micro level. The structured engineering analysis paved the forward path by which the reactor could be operated without any unscheduled outages since then after providing improved welding procedure.

Seamless X60QOS and X65QOS line pipes are widely used for offshore and onshore Sour Service applications. Sour Service refers to the risk of hydrogen related cracking as Sulfide Stress Cracking (SSC). The International standard (NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156) provides requirements for assessing the resistance to SSC, specifically on how to qualify for use in region 3 of the environmental severity diagram (Figure 1 in paragraph 7.2.1.2 of part 2). It is requested to expose materials in an acid solution saturated by 1 bar of H2S (NACE TM0177 Solution A) and to apply a tensile stress above 80% AYS by means of different methods: uniaxial tensile, C-ring or Four-Points Bend. However, for very sour fields presenting H2S partial pressures much higher than 1 bar, the preservation of the SSC resistance might be questioned and is presently a major concern for the O&G industry.
The present paper is dedicated to the evaluation of the SSC resistance of seamless quenched and tempered X65 grades, including the girth weld in the standard NACE TM0177 Solution A up to 15 bar of H2S partial pressure. Corrosion tests consisted of four-point bend tests performed in autoclave vessels. Different test configurations were investigated as specimen sampling locations through the wall thickness and surface state preparation.
