Abstract The objective of this paper is to study various methods that can be implemented on existing or new tanks to achieve an extended endorsement period (e.g. 20 years plus) for Crude Oil Floating Roof Storage Tanks. This extended period is necessary in order to overcome anticipated future challenges in tank availability due to (i) increased production and loading, (ii) stretched major overhaul (MOH) duration due to unforeseen delays in MOH works, (iii) corrosion in bottom plates, etc. An extensive research based on international API Standard 653 "Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction" was conducted to achieve this extended period. Initially, some COS tanks aspects were assessed based on API SPEC 653 (2014, Addendum 2, May 2020) to achieve this new Tanks Endorsement Vision, such as: (a) studying the currently applied Corrosion Protection Barriers to the COS tanks and their effectiveness to the endorsement period, (b) the adequacy of commonly applied Corrosion Protection Barriers with respect to the endorsement period, and (c) exploring possible enhancements on COS Tanks Corrosion Protection Barriers, and Monitoring systems to extend tanks endorsement period. Based on API SPEC 653 (2014, Addendum 2, May 2020), currently applied tank safeguards were found inadequate to achieve the 20 years plus tank endorsement period requirement. In order to extend tanks endorsement period, additional safeguards shall be implemented, with special attention to tank bottom plates (soil side), since corrosion problems are mostly exhibited in tank bottom plates from the soil/oil side. Multiple solutions for corrosion safeguards were explored and recommended as part of this study such as the installation of a CP system under COS tanks, as well as installation of a corrosion monitoring system, and performing routine in-service inspections for COS tanks (internal and external) as per API SPEC 653 (2014, Addendum 2, May 2020), etc. Overall, this paper provides an insight on the calculation method of tanks endorsement period, and possible tank corrosion safeguards and controls that can be implemented to extend the COS tanks endorsement period to at least 20 years. Results and recommendations studied in this paper will benefit the Oil and Gas Industry and help in overcoming future challenges.

This work demonstrated an in-situ pyrolysis of gelcast alumina under reduction sintering to make alumina and carbon composite in providing semi-electrical conductivity. To increase the carbon content, the monomer was varied in the premix solution with reduction sintering in nitrogen gas. Two-probe method was used to measure electrical resistance of the sintered samples. The results revealed that the increase of monomer addition and sintering treatment were effective in reducing electrical resistance. The lowest value was 3.6×106-cm, which is a potential candidate for electrostatic shielding application. The reduction-sintered sample was re-sintered in an air in order to gain insight on the conductive path due to carbon network. Further tests such as XRD, TGA/DTA, and scanning electron microscopywere used to explain the semi-conductive property of the material.

Metastable β titanium alloy Ti-15Mo was investigated in this study. In-situ electrical resistance and thermal expansion measurements conducted on solution treated material revealed influence of ongoing phase transitions on measured properties. The monotonicity of the dependence of electrical resistance on temperature changes at 225, 365 and 560 °C The thermal expansion deviates from linearity between 305 and 580 °C.
