With the continuously growing demand in energy consumption, the exploration of oil and gas from the remote northern area has become an integral part of the energy industry. Development of high-strength steel pipeline technology provides a reliable and economic means for energy transportation. However, the pipeline operation unavoidably encounters severe environmental and technical challenges to maintain its integrity in the North. Corrosion and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) are two major factors to result in pipeline failure.
