This paper describes experimental work investigating the influence of steel surface roughness on the adhesion performance of fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) pipeline coatings. The paper begins with a summary of the standards and methods that can be used to measure surface roughness. Several parameters are used to characterize the roughness of a blast cleaned steel including profile peak height and peak count. Tortuosity and rugosity indicate the proportional increase in steel surface area developed by roughening the surface. Normal pipeline coating industry practice is to specify and control a single roughness parameter termed “surface profile”. It is measured with replica tape and corresponds to the maximum peak-to-valley height.In the experimental work steel panels were abrasive blast cleaned with various steel shot and grit abrasives and the roughness characteristics of the blast cleaned surface were measured with stylus profilometers conventional replica tape and 3D imaging of replica tape.A FBE pipeline coating was applied to the prepared steel panels. The adhesion performance of the FBE coating was evaluated using the following test methods.<ul><li>Hot water immersion adhesion rating per CSA Z245.20 section 12.14 </li><li>Pull-off adhesion strength after hot water soak exposure per ASTM 4541 </li><li>Cathodic disbondment radius at 65 and 80 °C per CSA Z245.20 section 12.8 </li><li>Time before blisters were observed in Atlas Cell per NACE TM0174 modified </li><li>Average blister diameter in Atlas Cell </li><li>Pull-off adhesion strength after Atlas Cell exposure per ASTM 4541 </li></ul>The experimental data were analyzed using statistical techniques to investigate the relationship between the measured surface roughness and the adhesion test results. The adhesion results were found to be positively and linearly correlated with substrate tortuosity and rugosity. Profile peak height and peak count were found to contribute to tortuosity.

The operating mileage of North American pipelines transporting low density, high API gravity hydrocarbon liquids has increased significantly over the past two decades. This trend began in the early 2000’s because of increasing oil sands production in Canada, where light hydrocarbons are used to reduce the viscosity of bitumen to achieve practical ‘heavy oil’ specifications suitable for pipeline transport. The light tight oil boom of the 2010’s continued this trend, as multistage fracking unlocked high API gravity liquids from previously low permeability shale and sandstone formations. While different in origin and composition, light tight oils (LTOs), diluents used for bitumen transportation, and some refined products are similar in terms of density (density 680-800 kg/m3, or API 35-70), viscosity (<1cSt), and steel surface wetting behavior (hydrophilic). In previous works, the use of the NACE TM0172 ‘spindle test’ was demonstrated as an effective screening tool to assess the performance of corrosion inhibitors1 and led to the recommendation of hydrocarbon soluble inhibitors. Digital coupon analysis was used to provide unbiased quantification of results allowing better discrimination of inhibitor performance.2 The authors also provided an exploration of parasitic inhibitor consumption by fluid borne particulate.3 This work completes a decade-long pipeline case history where effective corrosion inhibition was used to solve a myriad of particulate related issues in a long-distance diluent carrying pipeline. Significant learnings about the performance and longevity of inhibitor (successfully applied at only one location of a 2500 km pipeline), the measurement of dissolved and particulate adsorbed inhibitor, the effect of maintenance pigging on the inhibitor film, and unexpected learnings about the ability of the inhibitor to disperse accumulated particulate is presented.

Upstream oil and gas companies operate oil gathering systems comprising a flowline network and process facilities that transport the flow of produced fluids from the wells to a main processing plant. The frequency of corrosion related leaks has increased recently despite a corrosion inhibitor is injected at the wellhead into all flowlines. A root-cause analysis conducted by several companies revealed that severe internal corrosion was caused by a low fluid flow velocity an increasing water cut and the presence of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in the production streams. Nevertheless it was not clear why some of the flowlines may leak while others do not leak despite the composition of produced fluids principal design parameters (diameter and length) dosage of corrosion inhibitor and environmental conditions of the flowlines are similar. A diagnostic analysis of different oil flowlines of was carried out to gain an understanding of why a first group of oil flowlines is developing leaks and why a second group of flowlines has not experienced leaks. The methodology used for the diagnostic analysis comprises 1) Ultra-High Definition simulation of 3-phase or 4-phase flow of gas oil water and solids; 2) 3D imaging of phase distributions inside critical sections of the oil flowlines as per NACE ICDA; 3) mapping adverse operational conditions; and 4) the determination of probability of failure in the critical sections based on criteria depending on the severity of operating conditions inside and outside the flowlines. It was found that multiple sections were exposed to stagnant water and/or had a fraction of internal surface area covered by a stationary bed of solids (formation solids produced from the well). The identified causes of potential leaks comprise the following failure mechanisms: a) metal loss caused by colonies of SRB b) composed load acting on the pipe wall and c) cyclic&quot; thermal expansion/contraction of the flowlines due to seasonal ambient temperature variations. One of the surprising findings of this study was that a shorter flowline with a lower water cut may have multiple leaks while a longer flowline with a higher water may not leak at all approximately for the same period after commissioning. This result was explained with help of maps of adverse operational conditions constructed for the two groups of flowlines. Immediate corrective mitigation actions and preventive actions were implemented to reduce leak frequency including the installation of a novel automatic flushing system.
