Technical Report from the year 2013 in the subject Chemistry - Materials Chemistry, grade: A, Robert Gordon University Aberdeen, course: Master of Science in Oil and Gas Engineering, language: English, abstract: The corrosiveness of three different types of water was analysed through an experiment carried out with iron nails immersed in a bath for a period of 25 days. The types of water used during the experiment were respectively synthetic seawater, mineral water and sparkling water. The iron nails immersed in a bath of both synthetic seawater and mineral water suffered a corrosive attack...

Technical Report from the year 2013 in the subject Materials Science, grade: B, Robert Gordon University Aberdeen, course: MSc Oil and Gas Engineering, language: English, abstract: A high pressure gas cooler located in an offshore platform have been operating for more than 10 years. Throughout that period the gas cooler have been subjected to several tube failures, the failures have caused gas leak from the tube side. Several materials upgrades have been used to contain the tube failure. The last choice was to use a more corrosion resistant material Hastelloy C22. Crevice corrosion has been...

Technical Report from the year 2012 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Geology, Mineralogy, Soil Science, grade: B, Robert Gordon University Aberdeen, course: MSc Oil and Gas Engineering, language: English, abstract: A new prospect is planned to be drilled by Kenmac Petroleum Corporation on a new licensed Molly field located in the North Sea on Block 14a/b. The tasks involved in well planning are as follows: (a) the estimation and evaluation of pore and fracture pressure and their impact on well planning, (b) a lithology study of the different formations and the steps taken to...

Technical Report from the year 2014 in the subject Engineering - Naval Engineering, Ocean Engineering, grade: A, Robert Gordon University Aberdeen (School of Engineering), course: Master of Science Oil and Gas Engineering, language: English, abstract: The Gazelle field is located offshore Kuwait in Iranian waters very close to Shat Al Arab. The field discovered with the initial exploration well in 1990. Oil production is via a steel piled jacket platform, and the export system is via FSO to a shuttle tanker. After a number of years of production, the oil rates have come off plateau with...
