provided by your staff within the

assignment:

The internal pit growth rates were

investigated using three inline

inspection (ILI) surveys conducted

24

in 1999, 2004, and 2008. Because

the technologies advanced rapidly,

matching pits from different ILI

runs proved to be very challenging

task. However, a computer

algorithm to align and match the

pits was developed. Using this

algorithm the pits from three runs

were matched and pit growth rates

were established. This algorithm

can routinely be used to compare

data from different ILI runs.

The corrosivity and inhibitory

properties of over 25 crudes were

determined using newly designed

and developed wettability

apparatus, emulsion inversion

point apparatus, and a rotating

cage. Based on these experiments,

an ASTM Standard Guide G205,

“Evaluating Corrosivity of Crude

Oil under Pipeline Operating

Conditions” was developed. This

standard is routinely used to

evaluate corrosivity and inhibitory

properties of crude oils under

pipeline transporting conditions.

Fluid simulation was performed in

order to understand the influence

of fluid velocity and properties on

the location of the deposition of

water under the oil transmission

pipeline operating conditions. The

outcome is used to determine

water accumulation locations in a

Canadian crude oil transmission

pipeline.

Canadian crudes contain larger

amounts of naphthenic acid. In the

refineries, in general, it is assumed

that higher the naphthenic acid the

higher the corrosion rate. Based

on tests and analysis of data from

Canada, USA, and Venezuela, it

was scientifically and technically

proven that this rule of thumb is

not applicable to oil transmission

pipeline operating conditions. As

25

part of this project, a Venezuelan

oil company sponsored a Ph.D.

student to work in this project in

Canada for two years.

Narrative description of Project: The overall objective of this project is

to reduce the percentage of oil and gas

transmission pipeline incidents due to

internal corrosion by providing new

science and technological data on: (1)

identification of susceptible locations

in pipelines for internal corrosion to

occur; (2) evaluation of non-intrusive

techniques to monitor internal

corrosion in those locations; and (3)

validation of strategies to control

corrosion in those locations.

provided by your staff within the

assignment:

Based on the literature review,

discussion with technology provider

and the industry, six (6) non-intrusive

techniques were identified to monitor

internal corrosion of oil and gas

transmission pipelines. The techniques

are: handheld ultrasonic (UT) probe,

handheld UT probe, electrical probe,

hydrogen probe, spiral wound fibre

optic probe, and patch fibre optic

probe. The merits and limitations of

the probes were evaluated and

presented to the project sponsors.

Direction was also provided to

integrate non-intrusive monitoring

techniques with the pipeline SCADA

(Supervisory Control And Data

Acquisition) system.

An internal corrosion prediction

software [Systematic Treatment of

Pitting Sequence (SToPS)] software to

predict internal pitting corrosion rate

under both production and

transmission pipelines operating

conditions was also developed and 70

copies of the software were distributed

to oil and gas companies, consulting

companies, inhibitor suppliers and

other stake holders.

Narrative description of Project: Carbon capture, transportation, and

storage may be considered as a short-

to medium-term solution to reduce

green house emission while carbon-

neutral energy technologies are

developed. Several pilot plants have

been built in recent years to

demonstrate carbon capture and

storage, learn and optimize facilities

and processes involved. Extensive

industrial experience is already

available in CO2 pipelines for

enhanced oil recovery (EOR)

operations, but further experience is

needed for transporting CO2 in

presence of impurities resulting from

some capture processes. With all

these developments, carbon capture,

transportation, and storage (CCS)

infrastructure is becoming increasingly

possible. The CO2 captured from

various sources may contain many

impurities depending on the process

and capture technology. The influence

of impurities on material (corrosion)

properties under CCS operating

conditions was investigated.
