The a research on the damage of tubing-drill pipes at an oil company, has been carried out. Failure of the component may be caused by many factors including material selection and their mishandling during in service. The objective of this research was to find out the reason of any failure or defects of a material during in, some testing methods were used, namely: visual and dimensions test, strength and hardness tests, macroscopic and microscopic test, the chemical analysis of material test, and SEM/EDS test. The results of proved that there were some corrosive elements such as the Cl and S-2 so that there was a the potential for the occurence of pitting and crevice corrosivation at the end of screws and these will be penetrated into the passivation layers of Fe2O3 that absorb aggressive anions such as Cl - and S-2.Keywords : failure analysis, drill pipe, corrosionAbstrak Penelitian terhadap kerusakan pada pipa ulir pada lingkungan perminyakan ,telah dilakukan.

Mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) consist of a work platform, extending structure, and chassis, and are used to move persons to working positions. MEWPs are useful but are composed of pieces of equipment, and accidents do occur owing to equipment defects. Among these defects, accidents caused by the fracture of bolts fixed to the extension structure and swing system are increasing. This paper presents a failure analysis of the fixing bolts of MEWP. Standard procedure for failure analysis was employed in this investigation. Visual inspection, chemical analysis, tensile strength measurement, and finite element analysis (FEA) were used to analyze the failure of the fixing bolts. Using this failure analysis approach, we found the root cause of failure and proposed a means for solving this type of failure in the future. First, the chemical composition of the fixing bolt is obtained by a spectroscopy chemical analysis method, which determined that the chemical composition matched the required standard. The tensile test showed that the tensile and yield strengths were within the required capacity. The stress analysis was carried out at five different boom angles, and it was determined that the fixing bolt of MEWP can withstand the loads at all the boom angles. The outcomes of the fatigue analysis revealed that the fixing bolt fails before reaching the design requirements. The results of the fatigue analysis showed primarily that the failure of the fixing bolt was due to fatigue. A visual inspection of the fractured section of the fixing bolt also confirmed the fatigue failure. We propose a method to prevent failure of the fixing bolt of the MEWP from four different standpoints: the manufacturer, safety certification authority, safety inspection agency, and owner.

The failure cause of Φ127mm G105 IEU drill pipe upset was investigated through mechanical properties testing, optical morphologies and fracture surface analysis. The result show that drill pipe upset’s failure reason is the elephant hide and decarburization layer in its out-surface caused by improper upset treatment in forging process. Elephant hide and decarburization layer existing in drill pipe upset changed seriously reduced its strength and fatigue property. Under the effect of alternating stresses, the crack first initiated from the deepest position of elephant hide and developed quickly. In the end, it leaded the drill pipe to early piecing failure.

Abstract High-speed wired drill pipe and its corresponding communication technology not only can achieve high-speed transmission rate and high-capacity, but also can realize real-time monitoring and dual-way communication in whole section, which can prevent downhole problems effectively. As a series system, the homogeneity and robustness of these wired drill pipes are crucial. This paper focuses on how to overcome the difficulty in manufacturing process of information drill pipe and complete the validation test. In order to guarantee the quality of information drill pipe and satisfy the technological requirements of mass production, we optimize the manufacturing process and put forward reasonable test techniques. The optimizations of manufacturing process include the analysis on constant tension of pressure pipe, quantitative cutting pipe and perforation in pipe nozzle. The testing techniques includes magnetic coupling coil impedance test, high pressure test, communication performance test of both single pipe and series system. The test result can be judged and evaluated by the attenuation value of the signal attenuation test and the signal reflection waveform as well as sealing reliability. With the help of the optimization of the manufacturing process and the application of new tooling, the quality and robustness of information drill pipe is improved obviously. Pass rate in primary assembly is increased from 70% to 92%. After the second assembly, pass rate can be increased to 99.5%. Besides, the work efficiency is greatly improved and the process requirements of mass production are satisfied. The validation test can screen out the drill pipe with poor quality and performance effectively thus to improve the reliability of the whole system. By means of the improvement of manufacturing and the validation test, the comprehensive pass rate of information drill pipes is increased from 84% to 95%. During three field tests in Jilin and Daqing Oilfield, the information drill pipes functioned well and accomplished all the test tasks successfully. High-speed wired drill pipe can improve the downhole data transmission on a large margin. The theorical transmission rate can be up to 100 kbps, 10,000 times as much as the traditional mud impulse telemetry. The manufacturing optimization and test technology can guarantee the performance and realize downhole data highway.

Through methods, such as microscope analysis, chemical analysis, metallography examination and scanning electron microscope etc, the causes resulting in high temperature reheater tube cracking of station boiler have been analyzed. The result indicates the crack is reheat crack, and structure stress, higher hardness and excessive welding residual stress are the primary inducement of tube joint crack.

In the past decades, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) has been successfully used to install various pipelines in different strata. However, construction accidents such as drill-burying and drill-sticking occur occasionally when pipelines installed by HDD method in an unstable stratum such as sand cobble stratum. Recently, HDD with dual drill pipes was used to install pipelines in unstable stratum, and the effect is significant. The law of cuttings migration for HDD with dual drill pipes is still unclear. Therefore, it is necessary to study the law of cuttings migration in reverse circulation with dual drill pipes. This study performs numerical simulations and experimental research on the cuttings-carrying process in reverse circulation directional drilling with dual drill pipes. Based on the assumption of dual concentric pipes, simulations of fluid-solid two-phase flows are conducted in different flow channels between the inner and outer drill pipes. An experimental cuttings-carrying model is then established. By combining the results of the numerical simulations and experimental investigation, the hydraulic parameters of the dual drill pipe system are optimized, and the rationalities of the drill tool design and the grading selection are validated. The results of this study provide a reference cuttings-carrying model during reverse circulation HDD with dual drill pipes.

Gears are the main machine element in vehicle power transmission trains. In commercial vehicles, power transmission trains design complexity consists of the determination of the loading parameters which depends upon the working environment of the performance vehicle. In the present work a gear failure under dynamic loading is investigated. The failed gear is part of a 2 speed gearbox of a Rotax DD2 2-stroke Open- Wheel performance vehicle (go-cart type). The gearbox was in racing conditions when failure occurred. The vehicle was speeding in 2nd Gear at wide open throttle when instantaneously the driver by fault downshifted to 1st gear. The result was for the first gears break a whole piece and eventually the system to go out of operation. Chemical composition of the examined metallic components was determined via EDAX chemical analysis.
