Sour (H2S-containing) environments can cause cracking in metals and reduction in fatigue life. The life time of polymeric materials may also be reduced. Corrosive species can diffuse through coatings and plastic liners to attack materials not in direct contact with process fluids.
Intertek CAPCIS sour service and corrosion-fatigue testing facilities are used by oil & gas exploration and production companies, materials suppliers, and flexibles manufacturers, for research and evaluation of materials properties and materials qualification for onshore and offshore developments on a global basis.
Sour environmental tests are performed to a large number of industry standards including ISO 15156, EFC 16, EFC 17, NACE standards TM0177, TM0284 & TM0296, API 17J and 17 K. High-pressure, high-temperature service environments can be simulated. CAPCIS consultants provide expertise in materials selection for sour service , for example in Front End Engineering Design, or for upgrades and replacement projects. Years of experience and knowledge in CAPCIS, focused on the upstream exploration and production sectors, give our clients the tools to optimise production and mitigate potential issues associated with oil and gas exploration and production.
