Investigation of Erosion of Hard Coatings on Steel Tubing

耐力技术公司专门提供扩散合金产品领域的工程服务，特别是管材和套管。它们在过去改善了石油和天然气行业的磨损、侵蚀、磨损和腐蚀问题。操作中的关键挑战之一是减少由于腐蚀性环境条件导致的套管故障，这通常在石油开采中经历。这些故障可能会给公司带来时间和成本等经济负担。为了克服这些挑战，Endurance Technologies和卡尔加里大学建立了合作关系，以开发一种新技术来估计各种条件下的侵蚀率。该合作将有利于公司和卡尔加里大学通过开发一种新型的测量系统，模仿真实的世界的干燥和泥浆侵蚀条件下的操作。该项目的主要目标是调查侵蚀率，以提高抗侵蚀能力。在所提出的系统中，影响油管内表面的侵蚀速率的参数将通过对油管内表面的冲击的动态分析来测量。 所开发的系统将用于执行一个全面的实验研究不同的干和浆射流速度，液滴尺寸，流体等的影响裸和涂层标本。新的测力系统将沿着腐蚀试验装置。该项目的成果将使Endurance Technologies能够开发一个模型来预测和分析侵蚀并防止灾难性故障。研究结果将有助于HQP的培训，并为Endurance Technologies提供竞争优势，以防止使用涂层油管或套管的石油和天然气作业中的腐蚀故障。

Endurance Technologies Inc. specializes in providing engineering services in the fields of diffusion alloying products specifically tubing and casings. They have improved wear, erosion, abrasion and corrosion issues for oil and gas industries in the past. One of key challenges in the operations is reduction of failures in casings due to erosive environmental conditions, which typically experience in oil extractions. Such failures can cause economic burden for companies such as time and cost. To overcome the challenges, Endurance Technologies and University of Calgary have formed a collaborative relationship to develop a new technique to estimate the erosion rate with respect to various conditions. The collaborations will benefit both the company and the University of Calgary through the development of a novel measurement system mimicking the real world operations for dry and slurry erosion conditions. The main goal of this project is the investigation of the erosion rates for enhancing erosion resistance. In the proposed system, the parameters influencing the erosion rate of the internal surface of the tubing will be measured through dynamic analysis of the impacts on the internal surface of the tubing. The developed system will be used for performing a comprehensive experimental investigation on the effects of different dry and slurry jet velocities, droplet sizes, fluids, etc. on bare and coated specimens. The new force measurement system will be incorporated along with the erosion testing apparatus. The outcomes of the project will enable Endurance Technologies to develop a model to predict and analyze the erosion and prevent catastrophic failures. The outcomes of the research will enable training of HQP and provide a competitive edge for Endurance Technologies for preventing erosion failures in oil and gas operations using the coated tubing or casing.
