Gathering System Case Study

This document presents a case study on selecting a material for a 5km flowline connecting two wellheads to a gathering center. The flowline must traverse valleys, mountains, road and river crossings. Operating conditions include a CO2 content of 6.2%, chloride levels of 120,000 ppm, a pressure of 116-125 bara, and a temperature of 83.93°C. The objective is to elaborate on applicable corrosion mechanisms, calculate corrosion rates, propose materials and a corrosion management philosophy to combat corrosion in the flowline. References include NORSOK M506, De-Waard research papers, and NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 standards.

Case Study Material Selection for Flowline

INTRODUCTION:

Two wellheads are located apart from each other; these wellheads have to be connected to the
gathering center which is 5km away from both well heads. The terrain is having valleys,
mountains; road crossings as well as river crossing also come in the shortest route to the
available location for remote manifold.
