In two separate U.S.-based CCUS stratigraphic and injection well projects, operators required duplex, super duplex, and nickel alloy OCTG but could not commit to traditional long-lead mill orders months, or even a year or more, in advance. CRA delivered exactly that, bridging the gap between regulatory uncertainty and execution readiness.
When an international operator faced a narrow drilling window on a high-H₂S deep gas project, success depended on securing large volumes of specialized nickel alloy OCTG on a timeline the market could not support.
A biorefinery company was facing challenges with the air tubes utilized in a high-temperature application. The customer’s engineering team reached out to CRA for assistance in identifying a suitable replacement material that could withstand the demanding conditions of their biorefinery operations.
Panelists of the recent World Oil Webcast "CCUS: Best Practices for Well Construction and Design" answer questions covering the unique technical and regulatory challenges surrounding CCUS well design as these projects continue to gain momentum in the energy industry.
In the selection of materials for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), there is a tendency to rely upon existing knowledge and experience from oil & gas production. However, CCS presents a unique set of conditions and challenges in identifying suitable and cost-effective materials.
Regular API 5CT carbon Steel OCTG is fitted with a Glass Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) inner tube for an economical OCTG purchase option for corrosive, aggressive, and normal environments in both production and injection wells. GRE pipe technology is well used throughout the industry and is a Discontinuous Filament Winding process using high-strength fiberglass and amine […]
