The stainless steel 17-4 PH (H1150D) is a cost-effective alloy for oilfield components due to its combination of high strength, toughness, and good corrosion resistance. Plasma nitriding improves the surface strength of the 17-4 PH and this work suggests that the nitrided can the resistance to SSC.
High strength low alloy (HSLA) steels are preferred for oil and gas pipelines due to their outstanding mechanical properties. Sulfide stress cracking (SSC) has been a major problem for the application of HSLA carbon steel because of the wet H2S environment which commonly presents in oil and gas industry. Several techniques are applied to the study of SSC of steels, including constant load test with smooth specimens and DCB testing.
Coiled tubing is a long (sometimes more than 25000 feet) electrical resistance welded pipes that is uncoiled for the deployment of oil and gas wells to perform a variety of jobs that involve subjecting the pipe to high pressure, axial loads, and contact with acidification, and production environments among others. Since the pipe is coiled and deployed multiple times for different jobs during its lifespan, it is typically plastically deformed and fatigued.This paper discusses the challenges of improving the performance of this welded pipe base material, as well as its multiple welds, when facing an inhibition failure that could cause exposure to corrosive and/or embrittlement environments.The product development process resulted in the complete modification of steel chemistry, its welding procedures and heat treatment process. The testing program includes, among other tests, the exposure of the pipe to different environments, followed by fatigue testing to determine the remaining material resistance after such exposure.
More and more High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) sour wells are operated worldwide. Challenging material selection is required for such severe operating conditions.1,2 Very high strength materials, presenting yield strength above 896 MPa (130 ksi), are required for sustaining the pressure. Consequently, even a low amount of H2S in the gas phase may lead to a H2S partial pressure beyond the limit of 3.5 mbar (0.05 psi) established in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 standard.3 Indeed, both high yield strengths and partial pressures of H2S contribute to a situation where the risk of Sulfide Stress Cracking (SSC) is high. The present paper is focusing on the SSC resistance of 130 ksi minimum yield strength material developed for covering such HPHT applications.
