Linepipe Steel With Alternative Carbon Steel Compositions For Enhanced Sulfide Stress Cracking Resistance

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods and compositions of linepipe steels that transport one or both of crude oil and natural gas. More particularly, the present disclosure relates sulfide stress cracking resistance of carbon steels for use as linepipe in transporting crude oil and natural gas by alternative carbon steel compositions comprising relatively low-manganese contents and/or low-carbon contents, alone or in combination with hydrogen trapping precipitates.
