Abstract

The inspection process of piping components in the oil and gas industry is one of the most crucial things, given the high risk posed by pipeline system failures, which have a huge impact on losses, both from environmental and financial aspects. Risk-based inspection with the Monte Carlo method is one of the efforts that can be made to minimize failures in piping systems, by involving data distribution to calculate the probability of component failure. Although the normal distribution is commonly used for generating random variables, its use in corrosion rate calculation can lead to overestimation due to negative corrosion rate values. Overestimation can result in inaccurate data and higher risk values, which can cause increased inspection costs. Therefore, the use of gamma distribution as a random variable generator can be a solution to reduce the bias level and increase the accuracy of the normal distribution analysis results. The gamma distribution is proven to prevent overestimation, so it can avoid inspection cost losses because the resulting risk value is lower than the normal distribution.

Abstract

The human factors (HF) are recognized as one of critical process safety barriers involved in normal and abnormal conditions in the oil and gas industry. In order to strengthen the HF roles as barriers we need to ensure that the actions generated are based on a valid risk assessment of the operation to be addressed by a relevant human factor analysis. Organizations within the oil and gas process have made much progress in understanding and implementing HF improvement programs. However, organizations are not always clear about what are their current situations in managing HF, their priorities for HF to be improved or where they should focus in their future plans. The objectives of this paper are to develop and propose a model called the human integrity management system (HIMS) model and the way its maturity level (HIMS-ML) is measured in managing HF related to asset integrity (AI) and process safety (PS) implementation. It nowadays becomes something urgent to be implemented but also, importantly, to identify where future efforts and strategy need to be set-up used as basis for improving HF. The proposed HIMS model introduces 5-level scale to determine the level of maturity and includes 20 key elements mainly generated from Bow-Ties model and mapping alignment with the CCPS-risk based inspection process safety (CCPS-RBPS) where 46 expectations are developed to reflect key HF issues within the process safety management system to prevent and mitigate the major accident hazard (MAH) event. This paper describes the model and the method of assessment, illustrating its use with a case study in the 3 big oil and gas operators in Indonesia. Spider chart is used to reflect the results of the maturity assessment obtained based on the response given by the relevant key persons in the organization. It can be concluded that the proposed model appears to be an effective and useful tool to measure the maturity of HF management implementation in AI and PS operation, identify the gaps and propose improvement plans.

Abstract

The oil and gas industry is one of the world's largest and most influential energy contributors. All aspects involved in the operation of this industry are fundamental to be reviewed and managed correctly, especially by preventing or minimizing the failures that could occur. Uniform corrosion is the most common component failure mechanism that can cause failure in the oil and gas industry. The company's actions in managing and preventing the risk of this type of failure have a major role in the sustainability of the company due to the possibility of more significant impacts if the risk cannot be handled well, such as high inspection and handling costs, environmental impacts, and threats to work safety. In this study, the Dynamic Risk-Based Inspection (DRBI) method, which is a development of Risk-Based Inspection (RBI), is implemented to handle and analyze risks that are managed in real-time at each inspection period. Risk level analysis was carried out through data processing related to pipe thickness from the risk profile from the inspection results in 5 months using Igor and Rstudio software and calculating corrosion rates using the forward difference approach. Based on the analysis results, five risk levels of pipeline failure at PT. X due to uniform corrosion using DRBI was obtained, consisting of two medium risks and three medium-high risks. In contrast, only one risk level was obtained from the RBI method, namely medium-high. The risk value fluctuates greatly every month, causing the DRBI method to have a higher level of accuracy and the ability to detect potential risks in more detail than the RBI method.

Abstract

In the industrial world, to extend the service life of materials, protection methods are carried out to slow down the material's corrosion rate. The protection method that is often used is the coating method. The coating method is a protection method by coating the substrate material using a coating material to prevent contact between the substrate material and the environment. In this research, the substrate material used is ASTM A36 steel and the coating material used is Surface Tolerant Epoxy paint. The independent variable used in this study lies in the surface preparation method which consists of: solvent cleaning, hand tool cleaning, power tool cleaning, power tool to bare metal cleaning, and abrasive blast cleaning. Different preparation methods result in different roughness and cleanliness of the surface. This can affect changes in the mechanical properties of the coating material, such as corrosion resistance and adhesion strength. Based on the corrosion resistance test, it is found that the abrasive blast cleaning and power tool to bare metal cleaning methods produce the highest corrosion resistance properties because both have a rating number of 8 in the salt spray test results. Based on the adhesion strength test, it is found that the abrasive blast cleaning method also produces the highest adhesion strength. This conclusion refers to the results of the tape x-cut test where the sample produces a rating number 5A where the sample does not experience peeling after testing. In addition, the abrasive blast cleaning method produced the highest adhesion strength in the pull-off test, which was 7.16 MPa. Thus, the abrasive blast cleaning method is the most effective surface preparation method for ASTM A36 steel before being coated with the coating material. In addition, it can also be concluded that the higher the surface roughness of the sample, the better the corrosion resistance and adhesion strength. Whereas abrasive blast cleaning method have 122.95 µm roughness and 7.16 MPa adhesion strength which is the highest in roughness and adhesion strength.

Abstract

Currently, Indonesia is progressing to build 35,000 MW of power plants, which will increase the demand for materials, especially steel. One of these power plants is fossil fuel-based, which generates not only electricity but also flue gas containing sulfur that may cause corrosion to power plant infrastructure such as chimney or boiler areas. In addition, apart from being resistant to corrosion in sulfuric and hydrochloric acid conditions, the steel used in power plant infrastructure must also have good strength, toughness, and weldability. Therefore, the present paper describes about steel development for power plant applications that has not only corrosion resistance in sulfuric and hydrochloric acid environments but also good mechanical properties through the addition of vanadium as micro alloy element combined with the implementation of a thermo-mechanical controlled process (TMCP) in hot rolling process. The results showed that chemical composition and mechanical properties of the product comply with the standards ASTM A588 Grade A for high strength low alloy steel with atmospheric corrosion resistance. The measured atmospheric corrosion index is 6.54. Thus, the mechanical properties of the steel produced are yield strength of 512-518 MPa, tensile strength of 662-664 MPa, and elongation of 40-42%. The microstructure of the product is ferrite and perlite, with an average grain size of ASTM No. 12.10 (5.2-5.5 µm) classified as very fine grain.

Abstract

Metal matrix composite (MMC) with 7xxx aluminum matrix is potential for ballistic applications due to the combination of strength, toughness, and light weight. Previous study successfully produced aluminum-based composites with SiC particles which were able to stop type III bullet, however cracks remained on back of the plate. Therefore, in this research, SiC was replaced by zirconia (ZrO2) due to its high fracture toughness. Ti-B grain refiner was added to further improve toughness through grain boundary strengthening mechanism. This research developed 5 vol.% ZrO2 strengthened Al-10Zn-6Mg-2Si composite with addition of Al-5Ti-1B grain refiner produced through squeeze casting process. The Ti content was varied 0, 0.058, 0.073 and 0.0104 wt.%. The composite was solution treated at 450°C for 1 hour, then aged at 200°C for 1 hour. Material characterization Rockwell B hardness testing, impact testing, microstructural observation by using optical microscopy included Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X- ray Mapping. The results showed that addition of Ti resulted in an increase in as-cast hardness as well as aged hardness. This was followed by the decrease in porosities, impact values and Dendrite Arm Spacing (DAS). However, there was an anomaly in the composite containing 0.078 wt. % Ti, due to the fact that this composite was produced by remelting. Actual hardness was lower than theoretical hardness calculated by rule of mixture because ZrO2 particles were not well mixed in the matrix. This was confirmed by the observation of microstructure, SEM and OES, that were not able to detect either ZrO2 or Zr element. The microstructures consisted of Mg2Si in irregular, oval and Chinese script morphologies, aAl8Fe2Si, which was also in Chinese script morphology and bAl5FeSi in needle shape.

Abstract

Railway axle serves as a vital connection between the train's wheels and its body. However, cyclic loading and high speed can induce fatigue in railway axle, which potentially leads to damage human safety. Therefore, it is important to find materials that have good mechanical properties with the lowest weight and cost. In this paper, a comprehensive method using Ashby chart has been performed to select candidate materials of railway axle. The methods begin with analyzing function by determining the problem, objective function, and constraints. After that, the results obtained are ranked using Pahl and Beitz quantitative weighting method. The results showed that the best five candidate materials for railways axle are Ti-6Al-4V, AISI 4130, EA16 carbon steel, bismaleimide matrix CFRP, and 7000 Al, respectively.

Abstract

Pipelines are an important tool in oil and gas exploration. Pipeline is a transmission and liquid collection lines, including their accessories, which transport fluids from one plant to another. In transmission and collection process, there is a possibility of failure which can have minor to major impact on personnel injury, the environment and interrupt the business process. To maintain safety and to prevent accidents, the source and cause of failure needs to be calculated. Risk-based inspection (RBI) is a method that can be used to calculate the risk and determine the inspection planning both schedule and method, by combining the probability and consequences of failure. The analysis shows that the production separator is in the low-risk category. The next inspection schedule is determined based on RBI estimation which is 13 years after the last inspection. Inspection methods that can be applied to subsea pipeline based on DNVGL-RP-F116 standard are external inspection, in-line inspection with intelligent pig, and monitoring system. For external inspection can use Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). In-line inspection (ILI) with intelligent pig need to validate by with underwater UT B-Scan in the following year. The monitoring system only needs to be continued from what has been installed, corrosion coupon. It only needs to be adjusted for the length of installation time according to its purpose, to measure corrosion rate or detect pitting.

Abstract

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology is one of the available technologies to reduce presence of greenhouse gasses. Implementation of CCUS technology strongly relates with the CO2 transportation from the capturing facility to the storage in the geological reservoir. The most economical method for large-scale and long-distance CO2 transportation is using pipeline in supercritical phase. Moreover, presence of impurities such as water, O2, SO2, H2S, NO2 may cause detrimental effect towards carbon steel pipeline. This paper intends to provide an initial information for supercritical CO2 pipeline material selection, which review and summarize existing research on corrosion under supercritical CO2 environment. This paper present environment categorization in supercritical CO2 stream, impurities effect toward sample, as well as brief discussion about corrosion evaluation method.
