Investigation of Erosion of Hard Coatings on Steel Tubing

耐力科技公司专门提供扩散合金化产品领域的工程服务，特别是管材和套管。过去，它们改善了石油和天然气行业的磨损、侵蚀、磨损和腐蚀问题。作业中的关键挑战之一是减少由于腐蚀性环境条件造成的套管故障，这种情况通常发生在石油开采过程中。这样的失败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，耐力科技公司和卡尔加里大学建立了合作关系，开发了一种新的技术，以估计不同条件下的侵蚀速度。这些合作将使该公司和卡尔加里大学通过开发一种新的测量系统来模拟真实世界的干燥和泥浆侵蚀条件下的操作，从而使公司和卡尔加里大学受益。该项目的主要目标是调查侵蚀速率，以提高抗侵蚀能力。在该系统中，将通过动态分析对油管内表面的影响来测量影响油管内表面冲蚀速率的参数。 所开发的系统将用于对不同的干态和浆态射流速度、液滴大小、流体等对裸样和涂层试件的影响进行全面的实验研究。新的测力系统将与冲蚀试验仪器一起安装。该项目的成果将使耐力技术公司能够开发一种模型来预测和分析侵蚀并防止灾难性故障。研究结果将使HQP的培训成为可能，并为耐力技术公司在使用涂层油管或套管防止石油和天然气作业中的侵蚀故障方面提供竞争优势。

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.
