Materials failures in sour gas service

OSTI ID:6082160
Three analyses of materials failures in sour gas service are reviewed: the failures include stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of a duplex stainless steel (SS) wireline; sulfide stress cracking (SSC) of moderate hardness L-80 casing, and SSC of two forged carbon steel, gathering system fittings. The failures demonstrate the significant effects of stress level, environmental aggressiveness, and localized hard zones in promoting SCC and SSC.
