Corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) materials play a pivotal role in submarine pipelines, addressing internal corrosion caused by transported fluids. In environments where carbon steel is insufficient due to technical, operational, or economic challenges, CRAs provide a reliable alternative. Corrosion risks are particularly significant in the presence of carbonic acid (formed from dissolved CO₂) and hydrogen

Advancing Sustainable Practices in Brazil’s Pre-Salt Oil & Gas Field with MLP Technology

Oil and Gas exploration in Brazil's Pre-Salt region boasts one of the lowest carbon footprints in the industry, despite the challenging environment and the corrosive, CO₂ and H₂S-rich reservoirs. Brazilian ingenuity has led to a program responsible for capturing and injecting nearly 20% of the world's CO₂ tonnage. Mechanically Lined Pipe (MLP) and Cladtek

Full-Scale Testing on CRA Mechanically Lined Pipes (MLP) for Submarine Pipeline

By |2026-01-26T16:21:30+07:00September 24th, 2024|Publications|

The specification of Corrosion-Resistant Alloy (CRA) materials for subsea pipelines is indeed crucial, particularly when dealing with environments where carbon steel may not be a viable option due to technical, operational, or economic constraints. Corrosion, exacerbated by high temperatures and elevated partial pressures of carbon dioxide, remains a significant challenge across industries worldwide. The
