DESCRIPTION:Arrival – 18:00-18:30 Hours\nRefreshments will be provided \nPresentation – 18:30- 19:30 \nGeorge Winning \n“The Critical Role of Impurity Analysis in Ensuring the Integrity of CCUS Projects”. \nAprès presentation – 19:30-20:00 (or later) \nFood and drinks  \n(After the meeting there will be opportunity to socialise at a local hostelry) \nThe venue: The York Room\, Lancaster Hall Hotel\n35 Craven Terrace\nLondon\nW2 3EL \nNearest Tube / Train Stations:\n“Lancaster Gate” Station and “Paddington” Station. Both approx. 5 mins walk      \nSpeaker name:  George Winning \nPresentation title:  “The Critical Role of Impurity Analysis in Ensuring the Integrity of CCUS Projects”. \nAbstract    \nThe successful execution of Carbon Capture\, Use and Storage (CCUS) projects hinges on the management of several technical criteria\, with the integrity of equipment\, materials\, and critical components being paramount. Recent data indicates that 33% of all unintentional CO2 releases in existing assets were attributed to equipment or material/weld issues\, primarily stemming from corrosion processes influenced by poorly understood effect of impurities in the CO2 streams. \nThe corrosive properties of CO2\, in both gaseous and dense phases\, are highly sensitive to impurities commonly found in the streams\, which can adversely affect integrity and operability. The impurities in the stream\, after processing\, although at low levels can react to form new compounds\, such as acids and secondary aqueous phases\, which can impact the integrity of pipelines. These effects must be considered when setting impurity levels for a project. Even seemingly non-reactive species\, like glycols and alcohols\, can alter thermodynamics and phase envelopes\, affecting the solubility of other impurities during phase changes. \nReaction chemistry in CCUS projects is an evolving field with limited experimental data. Testing the effects of impurities is in its early stages\, with new methodologies and approaches being developed but much more is required to fully understand the effects of the impurities. \nThis presentation discusses the analysis of impurities and their impact on the selection\, qualification\, and assurance of materials to ensure the proposed asset life is achieved. Various detrimental mechanisms\, including corrosion in relation to the impurity levels are discussed. Current CO2 corrosion prediction models in aqueous environments are limited in their ability to predict corrosion in pure CO2 streams\, and the effect that impurities have. Recent advances in models consider the effect of the impurities\, and use thermodynamic models to predict the formation of a secondary water phase\, examples of this are discussed in the presentation. \nBiography:   \nGeorge Winning is a highly experienced Corrosion Subject Matter Expert (SME) with a distinguished career spanning over three decades in the oil and gas industry. He currently serves as an Engagement Lead in the ALO team at Wood. \nHis expertise covers a wide range of corrosion-related challenges. In the low-carbon sector\, his work has included investigating the effects of acid on the corrosivity of dense-phase carbon dioxide and leading a working group within the Wood Joint Industry Project (JIP) focused on impurities and their reactions in CO₂ transport systems. \nOver his 38-year career\, George has held several key positions and has worked in most of the world’s oil-producing regions\, including the Middle East\, where he lived for five years in the late 1990s. \nHe has published numerous papers on corrosion\, corrosion inhibition and\, more recently\, on Carbon Capture\, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS). George is actively involved in professional bodies such as the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP)\, the Institute of Corrosion\, and the European Federation of Corrosion (EFC)\, where he holds or has held high-profile roles. \n

SUMMARY:ICorr London Branch - In-person Technical Presentation
DESCRIPTION:In-person Technical Presentation \nAli Morshed : “Why Effective MIC Control is Still a Major Challenge in the Industry” \nLancaster Hall hotel\, Bayswater\, London\, 6.30pm.  Refreshments and networking 7.30-9.00pm \nAbstract:          \nMicrobiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) still remains as a major integrity threat and cause of failure for many upstream\, midstream and downstream\, oil and gas assets – in spite of the continuous technological advances in the areas of oilfield microbiology\, metallurgy and chemicals. \nMIC can be defined as corrosion influenced by the presence\, or activity\, of microorganisms. Such microorganisms can cause corrosion problems for various oil and gas assets either directly or indirectly. The corrosion damage inflicted by them is considered direct when they create or further increase the environment’s corrosivity (e.g.\, by acid production through their metabolism). The damage is considered indirect when they attack\, deteriorate or weaken\, a corrosion control measure already in place\, thus further promoting corrosion. Such affected corrosion control measures include surface coatings and some corrosion control chemicals such as certain types of oxygen scavengers. \nLocations or systems most susceptible to bacterial contamination and MIC include\, but are not limited to: \n\nSea water injection\nFire water\nDrains\nCooling water\nSand wash water (where treated sea water is used to wash the sand accumulated in various pressure vessels)\nWater displacement systems (where treated sea water is used to empty a product storage tank)\nWet product transfer pipelines\nWet product storage tanks\n\nThe important caveat regarding MIC is that prevention is always better than cure\, because microbial control once lost\, may take years to restore\, if at all! \nExtensive field experience from both the UK’s North Sea sector and the Persian Gulf region indicates that the main root cause of the encountered MIC leaks\, failures\, and issues\, has been either the total lack\, of or inadequate\, knowledge and expertise in relation to bacterial and MIC basics and fundamentals among the pertinent personnel. \nMore precisely\, MIC incompetency has been the main culprit behind the encountered MIC leaks and failures. In general\, the observed MIC incompetency can be divided into the following four subject areas: \n\nBacterial nourishment and growth conditions\nBacterial and MIC monitoring\nBacterial and MIC assessment\nBacterial and MIC control\n\nThe last three items\, when are incorporated with each other comprise the overall bacterial and MIC mitigation process\, as was mentioned earlier. \nSimultaneously\, it has also been observed that oil and gas assets which successfully managed and controlled the MIC integrity threat were the ones whose relevant personnel possessed adequate MIC competency\, mainly due to MIC training they had received. \nWhile MIC incompetency remains the main root cause of bacterial and MIC problems\, timely\, practical\, and adequate MIC training is regarded as the main solution and way forward for tackling the existing MIC issues for the oil and gas assets concerned.

SUMMARY:Technical Talk - ICorr London Branch
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Michael Harrison – Sherwin-WilliamsTopic: Examination of Lining performance in Renewable and Biofuels and Feedstocks.\nRefreshments from 6.00pm\, presentation 6.30pm \nAbstract: Global demand for renewable and bio-based fuels is expected to grow with political and consumer-led mandates on reducing greenhouse gases. A typical biofuel production facility faces numerous performance challenges which are unique to its process\, feedstock\, and operating parameters. Traditional developments and performance enhancements in the linings from coating manufacturers and suppliers in the Energy sector have focused on feedstocks and fuels from fossil sources (Crude Oil\, Natural Gas\, Coal). It cannot be assumed that these linings\, with proven track record in O&G sector\, can be used in the “Renewable and Bio-fuel sector” as the chemistry can be considerably different and more aggressive. A detailed study was undertaken to examine the performance of lining systems via a series of isothermal immersion tests relevant to biofuels sector. The performance of traditional linings with a proven track record were compared to next-generation solvent free epoxy novolac linings and solvent free glass flake novolac vinyl ester linings. Lessons learnt from this performance evaluation provided an array of selection tools to the Biofuel asset owners and facility managers to select the appropriate lining system for their specific process and needs. \nMichael has 35 years of experience in the protective coatings industry. During this time\, Michael was responsible for the development and testing of heavy duty solvent free linings with subsequent roles in business support and business development. Extra to this he has been the project lead in the revision of ISO 16961 (Petroleum\, petrochemical and natural gas industries — Internal coating and lining of steel storage tanks).

SUMMARY:ICorr London Branch’ Speaker name – Brian Bennett\, ChampionX
DESCRIPTION:Speaker name: Brian Bennett\nPresentation title:  Development of Multifunctional Corrosion Inhibitor Products Used for Cleaning Produced Water Systems \nOil and gas produced water handling systems can be prone to fouling. Fouling can occur from incomplete separation resulting in hydrocarbon carrying through to the water handling infrastructure. Other particulates can also carry through or form due to the changing conditions as the fluids and gas are processed. As the fluids cool and acid gases are flashed off increased scaling tendencies and iron sulphide formation can occur. The hydrocarbon can act like a glue that helps to bind the other particulates together and deposit on the pipe surfaces. Deposition also creates areas for bacteria to proliferate. Corrosion mechanisms change from those created by the acid gases dissolved in the water to under-deposit or microbiologically influenced corrosion when heavy fouling occurs. \nThis presentation outlines the laboratory work undertaken to develop a chemical solution for oilfield cleaning of hydrocarbon\, iron sulphide and calcium carbonate scale deposition while maintaining a product compatible with mild steel such that it could be stored or applied in carbon steel infrastructure. In addition to the development work it will highlight the application of the product in the field in a salt water processing facility experiencing deposition issues. \nBiography: Brian Bennett began working in the oil and gas chemicals sector in research and development 15 years ago developing corrosion inhibitors and biocides in addition to corrosion inhibitor and microbiological test methods. He started with Nalco Company in the United States and now leads a research team out of the United Kingdom supporting ChampionX business in the European\, Asia Pacific\, Sub Saharan Africa and Middle East sectors. \nQualifications: Bachelors of Science in Chemistry\, Bachelors of Science in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology \nSchedule:\n18:00 – Arrival at venue\n18:30 – Presentation\n19:15 – Q&A followed by refreshments / networking \nVenue:\nLancaster Hall Hotel\n​35 Craven Terrace\nLondon\nW2 3EL \nNearest Tube / Train Station: Paddington Station (approx. 5 mins walk)
