The article considers the possibility of increasing the efficiency of chemical reagents by treating inhibited solutions with a magnetic field. It is shown that a various method for generating the magnetic field has a different effect (Some positive some negative). The best results can be achieved with anti-scale magnetic treatment using permanent magnets. Modified inhibitors (after magnetic treatment) have enhanced protective effectby their adsorption capacity with respect to metal increases.
Anti-corrosion coatings are commonly used in the oil and gas industry to protect the inner surface of pipelines. Most of coatings have a polymer base and can effectively prevent the negative impact of the transported fluid. Existing standards allow to evaluate the quality of coatings and their durability in the anticipated operating conditions. The evaluation of the abrasive resistance of coatings usually limited to comparative tests on a Taber abraser. This paper presents the results of hydroabrasive resistance study of coatings using nonstandard technique. Comparative test results of various polymer (FBE), thermally sprayed coating and silicate coatings are obtained. The ways of modifying test method are proposed.
The paper addresses the numerical simulation of conditions in which the measurement of thermal desorption spectra of hydrogen (TDS) is carried out. Plane steel samples of 10 mm thickness were used as the specimens for simulation. The skin effect which is observed with standard hydrogen charging of samples was accounted for the initial conditions. The standard diffusion of hydrogen was simulated according to Fick’s law. Solution of the Fick’s equation is obtained by finite element methods using the developed code. The resulting solutions show that standard hydrogen charging can lead to the appearance of an additional TDS peak, even without taking into account the traps. New interpretation of the TDS method for hydrogen dissolved in a solid was suggested.
Nickel-based alloys cover a wide range of oil and gas applications. Alloy EP718 is used as an analogue of alloy 718. The corrosion resistance of EP718 has been determined in severe environmental conditions of NACE level VI over 3 months (175°С, PCO2 = 3.5 MPa, PH2S = 3.5 MPa, pH 3.5, 20% NaCl). The effects of heat treatment on the corrosion rate were studied. The results indicate that the corrosion rate of EP718 in a simulated environment is less than 0.01 mm per year. Stress corrosion cracking could be observed in low quality production and incorrect heat treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
