For gas and crude oil reserves, Canada's ranks third in the world. Production and transmission of oil and gas arekey sectors of Canada's economy. As conventional supplies of oil and gas are being exhausted, new sources must be harvested from increasingly harsh environments using new technologies. The technological challenges of transporting these resources from production sites to markets requires construction of an infrastructure for transportation to processing hubs in Western Canada and to markets in Eastern and Western Canada, and the U.S. Both production and transmission of oil and gas from these remote locations demand thicker walled large diameter pipes with improved materials to ensure reliability, public safety and environmental protection. This trend is one driven by the pipeline industry. As a result, EVRAZ is implementing a $200million expansion in its Regina mills to improve quality, increase productivity and produce thicker walled pipe.The proposed research will address critical issues on the manufacture of thicker walled pipe with desired microstructure and properties for the transmission (pipeline) and production (downhole tubular) of oil and gas. Thus, the characterization of centreline segregation of continuously cast slabs, the efficient utilization of laminar cooling on the run out table, the formation and effect of nano-precipitates formed after the run out table, the properties and characterization of the weld and the heat-affected zone will be studied in this project. In oil and gas production, enhanced corrosion resistance (HIC, SSC) is required as wells are becoming increasingly sour. This project is composed of six interdependent studies to develop new knowledge for EVRAZ Inc. NA and TCPL. Each year, six graduate students and a PDF will be part of this project. Funding for a half-Program Manager and half- time Program-Manager Assistant is also requested. A yearly workshop will provide a mechanism to transfer knowledge from Canadian universities to industry in addition to the Technical Liaisons from industry working alongside graduate students.

加拿大的天然气和原油储量居世界第三位。石油和天然气的生产和运输是加拿大经济的关键部门。随着传统的石油和天然气供应逐渐枯竭，必须利用新技术从日益恶劣的环境中开采新资源。将这些资源从生产基地运输到市场的技术挑战需要建设基础设施，将这些资源运输到加拿大西部的加工中心、加拿大东部和西部以及美国的市场。从这些偏远地区生产和运输石油和天然气需要更厚的大直径管道，并采用改进的材料，以确保可靠性、公共安全和环境保护。这一趋势是由管道行业推动的。因此，EVRAZ正在里贾纳工厂实施2亿美元的扩建，以提高质量，提高生产率并生产更厚的壁管。拟议的研究将解决制造具有理想微观结构和性能的厚壁管道的关键问题，用于石油和天然气的输送（管道）和生产（井下管）。因此，本项目将对连铸板坯中线偏析的表征、流出台层流冷却的有效利用、流出台后纳米析出物的形成及影响、焊缝及热影响区的性能及表征进行研究。在油气生产中，随着油井酸化程度的提高，需要提高抗腐蚀能力（HIC， SSC）。该项目由六个相互依存的研究组成，旨在为EVRAZ公司开发新知识。NA和TCPL。每年，六名研究生和一份PDF将成为这个项目的一部分。还要求为一名半时间方案经理和半时间方案经理助理提供经费。每年的研讨会将提供一种机制，将知识从加拿大大学转移到工业界，除了工业界的技术联络员与研究生一起工作。
