An equipment integrity management system (IMS) requires focused effort from many disciplines to ensure that it is fully integrated and sustainable. The systems necessary to manage inventory, schedule inspections and capture inspection data are key elements of the IMS.

The new passivation mechanism in steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process is discussed through theoretical approach in this paper. A corrosion mitigation program was implemented that included the pigging both slug and batch corrosion inhibitors chemistry analysis corrosion rate (CR) monitoring and non-destructive tests.
The current paper presents a study on corrosivity of produced water and make-up water on UNS G10180 carbon steel in simulated in-situ thermal operations.
This paper discusses the implementation of an on-line remote ultrasonic (UT) system at a SAGD (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage) facility located within the Athabasca oil sands reserves in Northern Alberta.
Lab and field corrosion testing was completed on materials commonly used downhole in Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) to evaluate general corrosion rates, how they vary with well depth - as well as operating environment - to determine a dominating mechanism.
A study on the corrosivity of field produced water obtained from in-situ oil sands operators to UNS G10180 carbon steel. Rotating cylinder electrode (RCE) and rotating cage autoclave (RCA) systems were used as test methods. The susceptibility of the carbon steel to pitting was also evaluated.
At the time of a recent maintenance shutdown, cracking was discovered in the repads and parent material in the vicinity of several nozzles along the bottom of two in-situ production treater vessels. Some of the cracks were reported to be through-wall. The vessels were commissioned in 2009 and had been in service for about 13 years before the cracks manifested as through-wall.
In Oil Sands In-Situ operation bitumen is often extracted from underground oil sands deposits through SAGD (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage) technology. This method involves forcing steam into sub-surface oil sands deposits, usually those at depth greater than 150m (492 ft), to heat the bitumen locked in the sand, allowing it to flow well enough to be extracted [1]. This process technology makes it possible to access the underground deposits otherwise difficult to access through the open mine method. It is particularly relevant in Canada because it is the most common method of in situ extraction used in the oil sands.
Case study: A Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage facility in northern Alberta, Canada is examined as it experienced two very similar failures in heat exchanger tubes within 2 years of each other due to a boiler feedwater tank without a nitrogen blanket and a low flow condition.
