Optimisation Of Hydrogen Stress Cracking Resistance Of High Strength Precipitation Hardened Nickel Alloys

Optimisation Of Hydrogen Stress Cracking Resistance Of High Strength Precipitation Hardened Nickel Alloys
Available for download

 The Precipitation Hardenable (PH) Nickel alloys N09925, N07718, N09945, N09946 and N07725 are widely used for critical downhole oil field applications such as high strength tubing hangers and completion equipment.  The materials are particularly useful in High Pressure/High Temperature wells where high strength and corrosion resistance are required in H2S containing production fluids. Over the last 20 years a limited number of field failure investigations in PH Nickel alloys have been related to the presence of sufficient amounts of intergranular precipitates promoting hydrogen embrittlement, which results in brittle cracking of UNS alloys N07718 3,4 and alloy N077255 and N077166.

The precipitation hardened nickel alloys are designed for Oil & Gas applications requiring high mechanical strength and toughness combined with high corrosion resistance in sour environments. Over recent years there has been increasing industry demand to improve quality control and categorise the various PH Nickel alloy grades resistance to Hydrogen Stress Cracking (HSC) for critical High PressureHigh Temperature environments. This is a complex corrosion mechanism with many factors including composition, strength, microstructure and grain boundary cleanliness1,2. Evaluation efforts have used multiple techniques to measure the effects of HSC resistance with this paper concentrating on the Slow Strain Rate Test (SSRT) according to TM0198 Appendix C and the quality control of API6ACRA.

Martensitic stainless steel (MSS) well tubulars are favorable due to their high strength and relatively low cost and are therefore widely applied in the Oil & Gas industry. This is especially the case for 13Cr and Super13Cr grades, which are often selected for mildly sour gas fields, where a relatively low content of H2S is present. When selecting martensitic stainless steels for sour service, the susceptibility to Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) and Sulfide Stress Cracking (SSC), determined by standard laboratory tests, are the most important selection criteria.

A Saudi Aramco facility continues to serve a vital rule in the processing and export of crude oil. This facility is one of the few facilities worldwide that is considered to be fully sufficient with different processes within its boundaries. While processing hydrocarbon throughout the day, this facility also processes utilities to serve the nearby community as well as its own oper ation. The raw water that feeds the utility process arrives from a nearby fields through the 24” supply lines. These lines provide n. the subject RO plant within the utility process with the sufficient amount of water to sustain the huge magnitude of operation.
