The development of the tension leg platform (TLP) for the Hutton Field in the North Sea represents the first application of this deepwater concept. The use of vertical tension legs as the mooring system is the most novel part of the TLP design. One of the unique features of the tension legs is the use of 92.5-mm (3.64-in.) thick tubulars forged from 3 1/2 percent Ni-Cr-Mo-V high-strength steel (795 MPa (115.3 ksi) minimum yield strength) as mooring elements. Because of the importance of these elements to the survival of the TLP, the chemical composition and the steelmaking procedure were critically examined and optimized. In addition, extensive evaluation of the corrosion fatigue behavior of the steel was undertaken. This paper discusses the basis for the steel selection and specification, the results of the rigorous corrosion fatigue test program, and the assessment of the variation of properties along the length and through the thickness of full-size components. These results illustrate the suitability of the proposed high-strength steel for the mooring system application and establish confidence in both steelmaking and quality control procedures.

With the development of oil industry, the high strength-toughness drill pipe suited to the task of sour environment and ultra deep wells would be considered more and more important. A new drill pipe steel, which was designed with the proper decrease of C content and increase of Cr, Ni, Mo, Nb and V alloy element, was developed and studied in this study. Large deformation hot rolling technology was used to obtain ultrafine grains microstructure. The results showed that the yield strength of this new drill pipe steel had reached 150ksi with the impact toughness more than 150J, which can perfectly meet the “leak-before-break” crack principle. The new low-alloy carbon steel drill pipe in the controlled yield strength grade 150ksi showing excellent sulfide stress cracking resistance and strength-toughness have been developed. Based on the observation of scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, several kinds of carbide particles including (Nb, Mo, V)C with nanometer scale, were distributed in tempered sorbite matrix. The objective of this work was to study the relationship between carbide precipitation and strength-toughness by optimizing element design, thermo mechanical control process and heat treatment of drill pipe steel.
