...Abstract Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) is responsible for exploration, production and exporting crude oil in the State of Kuwait. As part of the company’s expansion to increase the production, several new pipelines have been constructed. At the export tank farm storage area, four new filling pipelines...

...Abstract Under-deposit corrosion represents one of the most damaging forms of corrosion to the piping system in oil and gas pipelines. It is one of the most critical phenomena leading to pipeline failures, and can occur in sub-sea water injection pipelines, well-fluid pipelines, and large diameter...

...Recognition of AC corrosion of pipelines. Accelerated corrosion of metals in the presence of AC interference was investigated as early as the 1900s, when researchers from the National Institute of Science and Technology in the U.S. studied the effect of the frequency of AC current on corrosion...

...Chapters 11 and 12 discuss different aspects related to particle size and the transportation of black powder particles through pipelines. For example, Section 11.1 provides a discussion on collecting samples of the black powder being transported through operating pipelines, and Section 12.3...

... sulfides. Then, another example of using THPS for cleaning a pipeline will follow. What is THPS? THPS is an acronym for tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium sulfate. Per the Product Information sheet, the structure of THPS is illustrated in Figure 70 . Figure 70. Tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium...

...This case study addresses the cleaning of a pipeline lateral in West Virginia, USA. It is a fairly new pipeline in a new gas gathering system that is still under development. As such, there really was not much operational, nor corrosion monitoring data available to suggest concerns. However...

...Overview. This chapter will address other types of corrosion coatings used in the oil, gas, and water industries, as well as application methods of pipe coating and pipeline construction techniques used in the Pipeline construction industry. Prelude. Since the publication of the original chapter...

...Over the past half-century, coating technology has experienced revolutionary innovations in pipeline protection from corrosion attack. A wide variety of pipeline coatings has emerged with continuously improved corrosion protection ability. This includes material technology innovations from coal tar...

... on susceptible materials, which are usually metals [ Jones, 1992 ]. SCC has been attributed to a number of pipelines leaking and/or rupture events, resulting in energy loss, environmental damage, and sometimes, catastrophic consequences [ National Energy Board, 1996 ]. Pipeline SCC occurs from a combination...

... the disbondment, is CP allowed to protect the pipe or not? When selecting a pipeline coating, the “Fail Safe” (or non-shielding) characteristics may be more important than other issues that are normally considered. [ Norsworthy, 2006 ] To determine if a candidate coating system may provide satisfactory service...

...Importance of Coating Inspection On a well-coated pipeline, missing or damaged coating can lead to an increased CP current demand. If there is no or insufficient CP, corrosion can occur on a steel surface exposed to the environment. Meeting NACE SP0169 CP criteria [ NACE, 2013 ] results...

...Introduction Pipelines have been used to transport liquids for more than 5,000 years, although in very different forms than commonly seen today. Tunnels and aqueducts during the days of the Roman Empire were in fact some of the earliest versions of pipelines. The linings of these early structures...

...Introduction The integrity of pipelines or piping must be maintained to serve the line throughout its service life without any breakdown. The most common method to protect these pipes is isolating them from the corrosive atmosphere with suitable protective coatings. For buried lines, a combination...

... melt, flow, and cure to form the pipecoating. (Photo courtesy of 3M.) Figure 3.2. FBE systems provide the many required properties of pipeline coatings, e.g., flexibility, abrasion, impact resistance, and adhesion. (A) The coated pipe is wrapped around a reel barge for offshore installation...

... density is more important to pipeline-coating performance. Use of small, hard, and angular blast media increases the peak count. (A and B) Profile measurement using replication tape. (C and D) Measurements using a profilometer. (E and F) Output of profilometer showing measurements of roughness, peak count...

...Detailed Artwork Credit Listing for Fusion-Bonded Epoxy (FBE): A Foundation for Pipeline Corrosion Protection. The author would like to thank the following individuals and companies for their valuable contributions to this text: Chapter 1 Introduction to Fusion-Bonded Epoxy Coating Systems Alan...
