Coating disbondment on pipelines is a common phenomenon that leads to exposure of the pipeline metal to ground water solutions, promoting a corrosive environment which is associated with stress corrosion cracking (SCC). This investigation aims to understand the corrosion behavior and rate of pipeline steel under coating disbondments of varying sizes based on field data and experimental studies. In the analysis of the field data, dig reports provided by a Canadian gas transportation company were analyzed for cases of anaerobic corrosion under tape coatings. The analyzed field data provided a correlation between the tape coating disbondment size and corrosion rate found under the coating. The experimental studies aimed to understand the field findings. The analyses were performed on X-65 pipeline steel coupons placed in a vertical coupon holder with a PMMA shielding. To imitate the variation in the disbondment size, the gap size between the metal coupons and the shielding was varied (2 mm, 5 mm, and 10 mm, and infinite). The general corrosion rates were obtained through weight loss calculations. The experimental results were compared and correlated with dig-report data from the field for a development of cathodic protection and pipeline mitigation strategies.

Abstract The proliferation of highly concentrated brine drilling fluids systems due to their enhanced performance benefits has instigated a plethora of technical studies on the mechanisms and control of their induced corrosion on downhole drilling tools and tubulars. The majority of these studies often overlook the effect of drill solids on corrosion rates. Therefore, a pragmatic and experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of various factors on the corrosion rates of downhole tubulars with a streamlined focus on the obscure role of the understudied drill solids; which have not been fully elucidated. Drill pipe corrosion coupons and drilling fluids/solids obtained from 5 similar wells (located in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada) were utilized for experimental analysis. Wells 1 to 4 were on the same pad (surface drilling location) drilling the same formation with the same fluid properties, while the 5th well was on a different pad but drilled the same formation with the same fluid properties to exclude disparity. Industry-standard measurement was carried out on the live used corrosion coupon rings, drilling fluids and solids obtained from these wells to determine selected properties. The total solids content analysis was carried out using an OFITE API (American Petroleum Institute) filter press. Weight loss tests on drill pipe corrosion coupons were used to determine field corrosion rates which were bolstered with the Parr Hastelloy autoclave test in the Laboratory. The oxygen content was monitored using Hach 2100Q dissolved oxygen meter. Field data, images and experimental results showed that a rapid and minuscule increase of drill solids (as little as 1% v/v) in the active system can impact corrosion rates greater than chemical additives and even oxygen content. It was discovered that low concentration of solids can produce significant damage and a high corrosion potential in non-viscosified fluids thereby making live monitoring of drilling fluids’ properties a priority to mitigate corrosion. This study fills an important technical gap in corrosion study that is indispensable for the optimization of corrosion control in drilling operations. By carrying out a controlled and investigative study backed up with drilling field data and images, the effects of the less understood drill solids have been partially demystified.

Regulation of the financial services authority (OJK) No. 31/POJK.05/2016 on Venture had arranged that the financial services agency on the basis of the law of pledge is in coaching and supervision OJK. Yet the existence of laws – invitation to Governing Enterprise pawn shops causing business activities conducted by the above parties are not yet regulated. The condition is feared could cause harm to the consumer society. The purpose of this research is to know the procedures, mechanisms, protection of goods and guarantee the consumer on an informal pledge financing, methods of determination of the cost of maintenance of the goods and the goods of the execution mechanism of the pledge as well as protection for the collateral items are viewed from the side of the consumer by looking at laws-invitations and Sharia. To find out whether the pledge have gotten permission from OJK. This research uses qualitative research methods with the study of library research, field data and simulations. The approach used in this study is the empirical juridical approach. Elaboration upon the results is discussed further in this article.

This work develops a new method, the box-balance model (BBM), to assess the role of hydrodynamic structures in the survival of fish larvae. The BBM was applied in the northwest Mediterranean to field data, on 2 small pelagic fish species whose larvae coexist in summer: Engraulis encrasicolus, a dominant species, and Sardinella aurita, which is expanding northwards in relation to sea warming. The BBM allows one to quantify the contribution of circulation, with significant mesoscale activity, to the survival of fish larvae, clearly separating the effect of transport from biological factors. It is based on comparing the larval abundances at age found in local target areas, associated with the mesoscale structures (boxes), to those predicted by the overall mortality rate of the population in the region. The application of the BBM reveals that dispersion/retention by hydrodynamic structures favours the survival of E. encrasicolus larvae. In addition, since larval growth and mortality rates of the species are required parameters for application of the BBM, we present their estimates for S. aurita in the region for the first time. Although growth and mortality rates found for S. aurita are both higher than for E. encrasicolus, their combined effect confers a lower survival to S. aurita larvae. Thus, although the warming trend in the region would contribute to the expansion of the fast-growing species S. aurita, we can confirm that E. encrasicolus is well established, with a better adapted survival strategy.

AbstractThe Materials Characterization Center (MCC) at Pacific Northwest Lab- oratory is performing three kinds of corrosion tests for the Basalt Waste Isolation Project (BWIP) to establish the interlaboratory reproducibility and uncertainty of corrosion rates of container materials for high-level nuclear waste. The three types of corrosion tests were selected to address two distinct conditions that are expected in a repository constructed in basalt. An air/steam test is designed to address corrosion during the operational period and static pressure vessel and flowby tests are designed to address corrosion under conditions that bound the condi ring the post-closure period of the repository.The results of tests at reference testing conditions, which were defined to facilitate interlaboratory comparison of data, are presented. Data are reported for the BWIP/MCC-105.5 Air/Steam Test, BWIP/MCC-105.1 Static Pressure Vessel, and BWIP/MC-105.4 Flowby Test. In those cases where data are available from a second laboratory, a statistical analysis of interlaboratory results is reported and expected confidence intervals for mean corrosion rates are given. Other statistical treatment of data include analyses of the effects of vessel-to-vessel variations, test capsule variations for the flowby test, and oven-to-oven variations for air/steam tests.
