Certain oilfield polymers exposed to fluids containing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) will age chemically, with the rate of deterioration determined by H2S concentration and temperature. The resulting irreversible alteration in material property levels can have significant detrimental consequences for the functional performance of the part in an application (e.g.(一只海豹). im体育APP’s dedicated sour service teams can evaluate the performance of 弹性体, 热塑性塑料 and 复合材料 in sour fluids in accordance with standards such as NORSOK (M-710), ISO (23936, 10423), API (6, 16C)和NACE (TM0187, TM0296).

im体育APP has more than 25 years of experience of delivering testing solutions for polymeric materials used in a huge range of 石油 & Gas sector upstream and downstream applications. 

H2S is a toxic 气体 present in many fields throughout the world, sometimes at very high levels. Seals and other polymeric components must be specified and qualified appropriately to established international standards. 除了, im体育APP can offer significant experience in designing and executing custom sour fluid exposure programs to meet demanding client requirements for both material evaluation/qualification, 功能测试.

Our 从事专家 can evaluate non-metallic materials used in your offshore, renewable, and oil & 气体的应用. Our staff have contributed to both ISO and NORSOK standards development and are members of the relevant ISO Working Group committee. im体育APP has run two internationally supported JIPs in the area of oilfield polymers: SOUR and SOUR2.

Our sour fluid exposure capabilities

In this Fracture and Fatigue video we explain how, 通过接触, we analyze engineering components to determine their structural integrity.

Material qualification tests involving sour fluids are described in the following standards:

 – ISO 23936-1: Thermoplastics

 ISO 23936-2:弹性体

 – NORSOK M-710: Elastomers and Thermoplastics

Fixture and immersion test to class DD/EE and FF/HH including:

 -高压, 1-week sour portion of the fixture test is performed in a dedicated sealed area with a fast extraction system. This ensures that (i) no personnel are near the vessel and (ii) any H2S is safely contained and neutralized.

 – The sub-ambient portion of the fixture test is performed in a large dedicated chiller unit.
