... alternatives and it allows for the recovery of volatile components otherwise released to atmosphere. As will be demonstrated in the paper, it has a considerable positive environmental impact, reduction in corrosion and safety benefits and is relatively simple to implement ("low hanging fruit"). midstream...

... are mechanical damage to the outer sheath or a venting system's failure. These can lead to a pressure breach of the out sheath and flooding of the riser annulus, ultimately weakening the riser integrity through corrosion of the internal wire. This paper discusses the motivation and business driver for developing...

... Abstract Atmospheric corrosion poses the most significant threat to the integrity of offshore Oil and Gas (O&G) platforms in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). Traditional manual inspection of topside equipment on these platforms is not only expensive, time-consuming, and labor-intensive but also...

... Abstract The necessity to reduce cost in handling fluids requires a high flow rates with an inherent risk for turbulence influencing the corrosion process of the involved equipment. These conditions occur especially in offshore environments, as oil and gas production, and in chemical processes...

... Abstract Harsh physical and chemical environments found in downhole operations have traditionally required the use of exotic corrosion-resistant materials, which are expensive, difficult to source and challenging to machine. This paper evaluates high-phosphorous electroless nickel (EN) coating...

Annulus flooding WoS was caused by external sheath breaches that occurred during installation and to mitigate the risks of both corrosion and corrosion fatigue, BP sealed the breach locations, displaced the sea water in the annuli with a corrosion inhibitor, and implemented a programme of regular...
