...Ultrasonic thickness (UT) measurements have been carried out after every acid cleaning jobs for the well flowlines to ensure the integrity with respect to the required thickness as per design. Profile Radiography ⁵ has been carried out for assessing the extent of the scaling inside...

... the scavenger performance, presumably due to improved mixing and contact efficiency. H₂S asphalt corrosion scavengers mitigation integrity INTRODUCTION From an asset integrity perspective, H₂S is a weak acid that, when in the vapor phase, can readily combine with moisture...

.... The work presented used a combination of finite element analyses, and existing industry models for determining load bearing capacity of an abandoned pipeline under varying levels of degradation. Abandonment simulation corrosion integrity INTRODUCTION When a pipeline reaches the end of its useful life...

...The Cerro Dragón is the main producing oil field in Argentina. From the point of view of the production engineer, the challenge of maintaining the integrity and flow assurance of these wells is not in the severity of the problems, but rather the complexity of the operation and the logistics...

...Engineering assessments and risk assessments are related but distinctly different evaluations of a pipeline’s integrity and its mitigation programs. While risk assessments, typically conducted at corporate and system levels annually, provide an overall view of a pipeline’s integrity based...

...This article will present a sample of data taken from two of approximately 200 semi-permanent wireless UT thickness monitoring sensors that were installed in a crude unit and a hydroprocessing unit to monitor for sulfidation corrosion as part of an integrated corrosion control strategy...

... Reducing Bacteria/ml srb/ml Insignificant TSS (0.45u) mg/l 124 iron ppm 106 Below is one of the integrity management models identified and developed for restoring the failed equipment to operating conditions without shutdown (loss of production) and improving the plant’s safety and reliability...

... with CO₂ depressurization. If existing facilities are to be used, an assessment of their integrity status with a view to CO₂ service has to be performed as well. A case involving such an analysis is described. Next to internal corrosion and low temperature embrittlement, specific aspects...

... integrity and safety assessment with various upgrade options, which include replacement, rehabilitation, and conducting in-line inspection (ILI) scraping. Furthermore, a database has been established for all collected information to apply the criteria utilizing decision matrix approach based on around...
