Select the best Material
“For a customer designing a North Sea HP/HT well, we assessed pH levels in situ, preselected the two best material candidates and performed fit-for-purpose corrosion testing on both. The results helped determined which materials offered the best compromise between corrosion resistance and Capex, and where they should be used.”
