Sour Service Products
Drilling challenging wells exposes drill pipe and BHA components to sever stress conditions and, in sour environments, there is an additional need to provide maximum mechanical performance without sacrificing H
2S resistance. This requires meeting material properties from two opposite sides of the spectrum- high strength to improve operational characteristics and low hardness to bring resistance to
sulfide stress cracking (SSC).
To help operators drill safely and efficiently in harsh, sour service conditions, Grant Prideco has developed enhanced materials that deliver outstanding performance while resisting
sulfide stress cracking. These proven materials offer mechanical properties that cannot be obtained with traditional materials and heat treatment processes.
Due to limited sour service specifications, the industry has established mechanical and chemistry recommendations through organizational bodies such as the
National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) and
Canada's Industry Recommended Practices (IRP). Grant Prideco has extensive experience manufacturing drill pipe and accessories for sour service applications and was the first manufacturer to meet stringent IRP requirements. Grant Prideco has supplied most of the sour service pipe in Canada.
