Oilfield Metallurgy
Materials for use in the oilfield must meet some challenges including high design loads, extremely corrosive environments, fabrication requirements, and cost/supply issues. This introductory course in oilfield materials, processes, and corrosion will acquaint you with current state-of-the-art technology in oilfield materials. Included is information on the materials and processing requirements for various types of oilfield equipment, ranging from drilling to production to facilities, and the materials strategies employed for successful operation. Oilfield corrosion mechanisms and preventative techniques are explained, as well as coverage of advanced applications includes enhanced oil recovery and subsea/offshore operations. The course concludes with a discussion of the failure analysis of oilfield equipment, featuring some fascinating case histories.
