In the oil and gas industry, pipeline is the major transportation medium to deliver the products. According to [1] containment of pipeline loss to indicate that corrosion has been found to be the most predominant cause for failures of buried metal pipes. MIC has been identified as one of the major causes of underground pipeline corrosion failure and Sulphate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) are the main reason causing MIC, by accelerating corrosion rate. The objectives of this study is to study the SRB growth, Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ATCC 7757 due to pH and determine the optimum value controlling the bacteria growth on the internal pipe of carbon steel grade API X70. The result shows that the optimum SRB growth is at range pH 5-5 to 6.5 and the exposure time of 7 to 14 days. At pH 6.5 the maximum corrosion rate is 1.056 mm/year. Corrosion phenomena on carbon steel in the study proven had influence by pH and time. From this result pitting corrosion strongly attack at carbon steel pipe. In the future project, it is recommended to study the effect of different pipe location for example the pipeline under seawater.

The oil and gas industry exploration that will generally be followed by corrosive substances including sweet gas (eg H2S and CO2), it will result in corrosion event. The corrosion stress cracking will cause the carbon steel pipe to break so that production oil and gas can be stopped. The research aims in this paper is to analyze the corrosion event of carbon steel pipe in laboratory scale on acid environment with the existence of sweet gas H2O and CO2 by using three points loading method. This research uses carbon steel pipe API 5L-X65 which stay in condensation environment of 1350 ml aquades, 150 ml acetic acid. Based on the figure (5.a) and figure (5.b) that the corrosion rate will increase with increasing exposure time, and the greater the stress that is given, the corrosion rate increases according to the image (6.a) and image (6.b). Whereas based on the results of microstructural tests using optical microscopes, pitting corrosion occurs, and corrosion events  occur are the stress corrosion cracking transgranular and intergranular based on figure 8.

Proteomic Study

AbstractMicrobiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is recognized as a considerable threat to carbon steel asset integrity in the oil and gas industry. There is an immediate need for reliable and broadly applicable methods for detection and monitoring of MIC. Proteins associated with microbial metabolisms involved in MIC could serve as useful biomarkers for MIC diagnosis and monitoring. A proteomic study was conducted using a lithotrophically-grown bacterium Desulfovibrio ferrophilus strain IS5, which is known to cause severe MIC in seawater environments. Unique proteins, which are differentially and uniquely expressed during severe microbial corrosion by strain IS5, were identified. This includes the detection of a multi-heme cytochrome protein possibly involved in extracellular electron transfer in the presence of the carbon steel. Thus, we conclude that this newly identified protein associated closely with severe MIC could be used to generate easy-to-implement immunoassays for reliable detection of microbiological corrosion in the field.

Longitudinal Welds

The paper describes the different industrially used options to produce a clad pipe and explains in detail the manufacture of metallurgically cladded pipes starting with the production of roll bonded plates. In plate manufacturing the advantages as well as the limitations of thermo-mechanical (TM) rolling are discussed. The TM-technology is shown to improve weldability, HIC-resistance, strength and toughness properties of the carbon steel section of the pipe. Moreover, it also improves corrosion resistance of the CRA layer. The pipe manufacturing procedure, which involves two welding technologies for longitudinal welds is described. The carbon steel parts of the pipe are joined using double-sided multi-pass Submerged-Arc-Welding (SAW). The single-pass Electroslag-Welding (ESW) is subsequently used for recladding of the CRA layer. The multi-pass SAW results in excellent mechanical properties of the weld joint, whereas the ESW technique ensures low dilution of CRA with the carbon steel, a smooth weld bead shape and a high corrosion resistance of the deposited layer. With the aid of thermodynamic modeling and numerical simulations it is shown, that the high corrosion resistance is promoted by an intensive mixing within the ESW weld pool and relatively low segregation level of Cr and Mo during solidification. Furthermore, FEM analysis is applied to examine the plastic deformation and residual stresses distribution in the pipe during forming, welding and final calibration. The obtained information assists in optimization of manufacturing procedure, and can also be included in prediction of resulting pipe fatigue during operation.

In this work, the investigations were carried out to study the effect of heat treatment at dual phase of austenite and ferrite on mechanical properties , microstructure and corrosion rate of low alloyed medium carbon steel. The specimens were divided into five groups, first group, specimens were heated to the duel phase region at temperature of 740°C soaked for 30 minutes and quenched in water. The second group, The specimens were heated to 740°C soaked for 30 minutes and quenched in water, then tempered to 480°C soaked for 20 minutes. The third group the specimens were heated to austenizing temperature of 840°C soaked for 30 minutes and quenched in water, then the specimens reheated to the dual phase region at 740°C, soaked for 30 minutes and quenched in water, then the specimens were tempered at temperature 480°C for 30 minutes. The forth group, the specimens were heated to austenizing temperature of 840°C soaked for 30 minutes and quenched in water, this process were repeated again before the specimens were thereafter heated to the dual phase region at temperature of 740°C, soaked for 20 minutes and quenched in water, then the specimens were tempered at temperature 480°C for 20 minutes. The fifth group, the specimens were heated to austenizing temperature of 840°C soaked for 20 minutes and quenched in water, this process were repeated two times again before the specimens were thereafter heated to the dual phase region at temperature of 740°C, soaked for 20 minutes and quenched in water, then the specimens finally tempered at temperature 480°C for 20 minutes. The results proved the hardness increase after heat treatment at first and second group, at third group the highest hardness value was due to formation of martensite and ferrite, but at fourth and fifth groups hardness decreases due to appearance of carbides particles, also corrosion rate usually increases with two phase at microstructure than stable one phase, third group have less corrosion rate than fourth and fifth due to carbides particles formation which lead to more corrosion rate due to three phases presents.

Abstract Carbon steel pipelines are used to transport hydrocarbons globally because carbon steel is relatively easier to fabricate, safe for use, raw materials are available and less expensive. Amidst these benefits, carbon steel is susceptible to severe corrosion and other anomalies. Pipeline corrosion is a significant concern in the oil and gas industry. It has caused several minor and catastrophic losses of containment with resultant fatalities, environmental pollutions, asset damage, and production downtimes. The increasing failures of in-service pipelines have led the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) to intensify regulatory scrutiny of pipeline integrity assessment and management in Nigeria to ensure strict compliance to the regulatory requirements by the Oil Producing Companies. According to DPR Act (Section 2.5.2.1), all pipelines greater than 6" size diameter must be inspected every five (5) years with intelligent pigs (inline inspection tools) that would provide the accurate condition of the pipeline. However, many pipelines in Nigeria are unpiggable or difficult to inspect with intelligent pigs due to the unavailability of pigging facilities (especially in brownfields), pipelines with short bend radiuses, dual diameters, flow parameters, etcetera. This paper explores case studies involving the use of advanced inline inspection technology to conduct inline inspection of difficult-to-inspect dual-diameter pipelines.
