Oil and gas equipment and systems designed for the safe and reliable operation of upstream and downstream facilities requires expert knowledge in the review, selection and design of a broad range of materials which need to satisfy varying service and operating conditions such as LP, HP sweet or sour corrosion systems.
Assessing the correct material or combination of materials, whether metallic, non-metallic or Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRA) requires the assessment and evaluation of the delicate relationship between many system operating parameters, such as: pressures, temperatures, process fluid characteristics, sweet or sour gas content, corrosion rates, fluid velocities, oxygen concentrations, and environment.
International Materials & Corrosion (part of International Pipeline Management) is pleased to offer specialist services within this sector:
Review, recommendation and selection of metallic materials for oil and gas upstream and downstream facilities – pipelines, storage tanks, piping, valves, plant, separators, dehydrators, amine units, compressors, water systems etc
Review, selection and recommendation of non-metallic materials for oil and gas upstream and downstream facilities – piping, valve components, tank, GRP, seals, elastomers, etc.
Review, selection and recommendation of Corrosion Resistant Alloys for oil and gas upstream and downstream facilities
Corrosion control of upstream and downstream oil and gas equipment through review, selection and design of material combinations
Assessment of materials and material combinations for upstream and downstream facilities using P&ID’s, MSD’s
