Material selection for downhole applications has become more difficult as the number of alloys continues to increase. On one hand, stainless steels like 316 offer a relatively low initial cost, but are not suited for many severe applications or environments. Other alloys, like MP35N, offer considerable strength and corrosion resistance, but with a much higher cost. Thus, an attempt has been made to create an alloy that spans the considerable gap between the 300 series of stainless steels and the nickel or cobalt base alloys. The resulting 6% Mo stainless steels offered increased strength and corrosion resistance without a drastic cost increase. The first generation of superaustenitics still falls considerably short of the strength and corrosion resistance provided by established nickel or cobalt-base alloys. In an attempt to further bridge the remaining gap, a new superaustenitic stainless steel has been developed that maintains the attractive cost of the 6% Mo alloys, but enhances both corrosion resistance and strength to open up environments that were too severe for 6% Mo alloys. The development of this alloy along with localized corrosion resistance, qualification testing, and mechanical testing are discussed.
Measurement of uniform corrosion resistance in the presence of H2S, through polarization curves, and slip steps height and spacing, through Atomic Force Microscopy technique (AFM) have been performed.
ECA technologies are not very well known in the oil and gas industry and are still undeservedly suffering from the bad reputation of traditional eddy current testing from twenty years ago. Eddy current techniques are often humorously compared to "black magic" in the sense that the results are difficult to understand, the probes are complicated to use, and only eddy current gurus can use it efficiently. However, ECA has evolved significantly over the past 15 years and is now much easier and more intuitive to use.
This paper reviews both available stress corrosion cracking data and test methodologies involving additions of elemental sulfur using several procedures. It utilizes thermodynamic modeling to assess the chemical speciation of elemental sulfur under selected test conditions.
Research to determine the corrosion behavior of commercial metallic tank materials in fuels and heating oil with admixtures of biogenic sources, such as gasoline with addition of ethanol (E10, E85), pure biodiesel and heating oil with 10 % biodiesel (B10).
Ni-base alloy weld material has been widely used for primary reactor components of BWR. Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in Ni-base alloy welds is of an increased importance and an ongoing subject in the industry to secure material reliability of the components especially for long-term operation of light water reactors. Although alloy 82 has shown excellent service performance in BWR applications, it is known that alloy 82 exhibit SCC susceptibility in laboratory tests under simulated BWR environment with a combination of particular, severe test conditions such as high level of material cold work and highly accelerated environment. In addition, few experiences with SCCs in the welds associated with alloy 82 have been recently reported in the operating BWR plants.
There are hundreds of kilometers of above-ground carbon steel pipelines located in 32 in-situ oilsands facilities operated by 18 producers in Alberta Canada, with a total thermal oilsands capacity (operating) of 1.8 million barrels per day. A typical in-situ oilsands operation is for recovering bitumen located 75 meters or more below the surface, by the injection of steam.
The investigation on the specimens in the SCC susceptible conditions is included in Part 1, AMPP conference paper C2022-179982. In this Part 2, a case study is presented on the local corrosion on specimen surface or shoulder area although high ductility ratios in two testing conditions.
Standards NACE(1) MR0175 / ISO(2) 15156-31 have temperature-H2S-Cl-pH limits for safely using duplex stainless steels based on their Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN) of subcategory such as duplex stainless steel (DSS, PREN 30-40, Mo>1.5%) and super duplex stainless steel (SDSS, PREN 4045), temperature-pH domain of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance can be used for material evaluation and provided by using slow strain rate testing (SSRT) screening in sour testing conditions2.
