Oil and gas production consider the nature of the reservoir and the complexity of the forming layers as a governing factor. One of the major challenges that are faced in the oil and gas upstream industry is the complexity of the reservoir in which the production requires enhanced recovery process. Polymer injection is one of the methods that is used widely to enhance the production and increase it accordingly. However, after the polymer preparation and mixing process, a system of flowlines and pipelines is utilized to carry over the final polymer product to the injection wells. This requires a comprehensive study of the material selection options for the pipelines and flowlines that are considered based on their performance, low maintenance requirement, and cost effectiveness. This paper focuses on the testing and qualification of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) internal lined carbon steel that is considered as one of the material selection options for polymer transfer. Further, material selection options are discussed along with the testing and qualification requirements. Compatibility of the high concentrated polymer liquid with HDPE material was tested to design HDPE liner inside CS pipes to transport and inject the polymer into the wells.

Product Number: 51324-21071-SG

Author: Abdullah M. Alratoee; Ricardo S. Costa; Meshary A. Al-Bahli; Faisal M. Al-Mutahhar; Mohamed A. Ahmed

Publication Date: 2024

In the realm of corrosion management, corrosion under insulation (CUI) poses significant challenges, particularly for facilities operating in cryogenic service. A comprehensive approach to understanding and mitigating CUI risks is crucial for ensuring asset integrity, safety, and operational efficiency. This paper presents an in-depth case study of a natural gas liquids (NGL) fractionation facility, demonstrating the successful implementation of a holistic CUI management strategy applicable to a broader industry context. Notably, the facility has faced unique challenges, as some circuits have not been shut down or inspected for the past 40 years. The paper details the extensive work carried out, encompassing risk mapping, mitigation strategies, inspection planning and prioritization, and repair planning. By adopting a systematic approach, the study effectively identifies and addresses CUI risks in the facility's cryogenic service operations. The results of this research contribute to the existing body of knowledge on CUI management in cryogenic service, offering a recommended path forward for the industry to tackle CUI-related issues. By showcasing a comprehensive and adaptable approach, this paper holds great potential to foster increased safety, reliability, and efficiency in the corrosion industry, paving the way for future research and collaboration.

Corrosion continues to be a threat to the petroleum industry. It risks people’s lives, the environment, and assets integrity, in addition to the financial losses. In fact, the annual global cost of corrosion was estimated in 2013 to be around US$2.5 trillion (3.2% of 2013 global GDP). Of this amount, approximately 15-35% (i.e. US$375 to US$875 billion annually) can be avoided through proper corrosion control management and advanced mitigation technologies

Corrosion Management Improvements in Liquids-Rich Shale Play - Pipeline Internal Corrosion Mitigation Case Studies

Product Number: 51324-20990-SG

Author: Monica Fernandez; Chris Jeske; Robert Terry; Ruben Carrera

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

This paper details the process followed to enhance the pipeline internal corrosion management during operational stage in a liquids-rich shale play, focusing on pipeline internal corrosion mitigation. The process involves several key steps, encompassing a thorough review of historical data (operational conditions, fluid chemistry, corrosion coupons, chemical treatments, pigging activities, inspection results, among others), meticulous data analysis, strategic scheduling, implementation of short-term, mid-term, and long-term actions, followed by periodic monitoring to evaluate barrier performance in conjunction with an inspection plan to confirm asset integrity and optimize resource utilization. The improvements have considered industry best practices, know-how, lessons learned, valuable insights gained from past failures, challenges encountered within upstream operations for corrosion and integrity activities execution, and the actions taken to overcome them.

Publication Date: 2023

CUI (Corrosion under insulation) is among the key damage mechanisms in the process and hydrocarbon industries which results in the localized corrosion (mainly) thereby reducing the service life of the assets (pipes, equipment, etc.) CUI is reportedly known as the reason behind 40-60% of failures in the facility piping whereas small bore piping (i.e., NPS< 4”) are even more sensitive to CUI failures, where up to 81% of reported failures in small-sized piping are known to be from CUI. Monetary spending to inspect and fix CUI-related failures cost 10% of overall maintenance budget in a typical medium-sized oil refinery. CUI risk is influenced by numerous operational and environmental factors which impedes its management in a typical AIM (Asset integrity management) program.

Pulsed Eddy Currents (PEC) is an electromagnetic inspection method for detecting thickness variations in carbon steel and cast iron through various insulation and/or protective components. It is also resilient to liftoff variations, making it a valuable technique for Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) assessment. The technology is widely used in the energy and petrochemical industries to detect and estimate the extent of corrosion in insulated or fire-proofed components like pipes and tanks without removing the covering.

Corrosion significantly impacts safety, availability and sustainment costs of U.S. Air Force (AF) systems and equipment. System downtime due to corrosion maintenance decreases the availability of systems to perform their national defense mission and drives the need for more aircraft and associated logistics tail. In addition, the AF spends about $5.5 Billion per year, about 21 percent of the annual AF maintenance budget, on corrosion maintenance.
