... Abstract Many of today's aggressive drilling programs require well construction through sour formations to reach remote reservoirs. This has exposed limitations of traditional steel chemistries used for bottom hole assembly (BHA) components. For many years, the industry has used traditional API...

... Abstract Toughness on the welded joint, in special on the heat affected zone, is one of the most difficult requirements to be complied, when it is necessary to weld thick carbon steel pipes, with wall thickness over than 16 mm. Basically, it is defined by the final microstructure. In the weld...
