Abstract: Wellbore equipment used in oil and gas operations can be negatively affected by corrosive fluids. Coatings can be applied to the equipment to help protect the equipment. A field test can be used at a wellsite to ensure the coating is effective. Due to the HSE risks of the corrosive fluids, a proxy fluid can be used instead. The proxy fluid can have similar chemical or physical properties and simulate the corrosive fluid that is anticipated to be present in the wellbore. The wellbore equipment that is coated can be sealed to create a containment area where an initial concentration of the proxy fluid is introduced into the containment area for a period of time. A final concentration of the proxy fluid can be measured after the period of time has elapsed. By calculating the percent change of the proxy fluid, the effectiveness of the coating can be determined.

Abstract: A method of diagnosing a deterioration of a resin part includes: fabricating a deterioration detection part by adding a detection additional member to the resin part, in which the detection additional member is faster in progress of a deterioration than the resin part, and the adding the detection additional member includes bonding the detection additional member to a surface of the resin part or insert-molding the detection additional member to the resin part; incorporating the deterioration detection part into a portion, of a vehicle, where the resin part is to be incorporated; detecting, after an elapse of a predetermined period of time, a degree of the progress of the deterioration of the detection additional member; and estimating the degree of the progress of the deterioration of the resin part, based on data on a correlation between the deterioration of the detection additional member and the deterioration of the resin part.

Abstract: A method and apparatuses to extend the time interval between out-of-service, in-tank inspections while insuring structural integrity using a risk-based, Bayesian statistical approach comprised of a passing leak detection test, determining that the tank is not leaking, estimating a thickness of the tank floor to estimate a corrosion rate, and conducting a risk assessment using the result of the leak detection test, the corrosion rate and thickness of the tank floor, and statistical data of tank failures.

Abstract: A computing device of an information handling system includes an environmental control component and an environmental manager. The environmental control components identifies an aggregate amount of corrosion of a component of the information handling system; obtains a rate of corrosion associated with the component; makes a determination that the rate of corrosion indicates that the component will suffer a premature failure; in response to the determination: identifies an environmental control modification that will remediate the premature failure of the component; and updates an operation of the environmental control component based on the environmental control modification.

Abstract: Methods for quantitatively determining the time (TNI) between (1) the application of this method and (2) the time at which the next out-of-service API 653 internal inspection of a steel, field-erected, aboveground storage tank (AST) containing petroleum/water products should be performed. These methods combine four in-service measurements of the thickness, integrity, and corrosion rate of the tank bottom with an empirical corrosion rate cumulative frequency distribution (CFD) for the tank of interest to develop a Bayesian tank bottom survival probability distribution to determine TNI. During this entire TNI time period, the risk of tank bottom failure is less than at the time these methods were applied. If available, the results of a previous out-of-service API 653 internal inspection are also used. These methods can be applied at any time while the tank is in-service to update the internal inspection interval previously determined in an out-of-service internal inspection of the tank.

Abstract: A corrosion management method is provided and includes storing an asset fleet at a location, generating a corrosion rate stressor by reference to models for any component of an asset of the asset fleet corresponding to the location and storage practice of the asset, predicting an accumulated corrosion stressor severity from the generated corrosion rate stressor, measuring an actual corrosion rate stressor at the location and revising the models in accordance with a difference between the predicted accumulated corrosion stressor severity and the measured actual corrosion rate stressor.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods and systems for inspecting insulated equipment for any corrosion under insulation (CUI). The system includes a device comprising transmitter and receiver horn antennas, a vector network analyzer operatively connected to the antennas, and an infrared detector. In the method, a location for inspection of the equipment is identified. A metal jacket surrounding the location is removed without stripping the insulation. Microwaves are transmitted by the transmitted horn antenna at the location, and provide heating at the location. The microwaves are received by the receiver horn antenna after reflection off the equipment. The vector network analyzer analyzes the microwaves. The infrared detector detects infrared waves emitted from the location and develops an infrared image of the inner surface of the equipment. Based on the analysis of the microwaves and the developed image, a programmed processor determines whether CUI exists at the location.

Abstract: Provided are, by using an index with which the influence on the strength of coke can be evaluated, a method for evaluating a weathering degree of coal and a coking property of weathered coal within the ranges in which the weathering degree and coking property cannot be determined by using conventional methods, and a method for controlling the weathering degree of coal with which it is possible to add weathered coal to a coal blend to be used for producing coke without decreasing the strength of coke by using the index. The weathering degree of coal is evaluated by using the surface tension of semicoke which is prepared by performing a heat treatment on weathered coal as an index. The weathering degree of each brand of coal is controlled so that the interfacial tension γinter of a semicoke blend which is prepared by blending the plural brands of semicoke in accordance with the proportions is 0.03 mN/m or lower.
