Claudio Ruggieri Fracture Mechanics and Structural Integrity Research Group University of So Paulo - Brazil claudio.ruggieri@usp.br Outline Challenges in Pipeline Safety Standards: Linking Design and Operation Increased Use of SE(T) Fracture Specimens in ECA / FFS Procedures
J -R Test Procedure Based on the Unloading Compliance Technique Some Key Critical Concerns Driving Further Research and Development Going Farther and Deeper...... Increasing Demand for Fossil Fuels, Including Natural Gas, is Pushing Oil and Gas Exploitation and Production to Farther and Deeper Reservois in Difficult and Hostile Environments Technological Challenges in Pipeline and Riser Design, Installation, Operation, Inspection and Repair World Energy Scenario The Brazilian Pre-Salt Reservoir The Brazilian Pre-Salt Reservoir Key Characteristics
More than 2500 m Water Depth. 2000 m Thickness Salt Layer. Gas Pipeline Larger than 18 Long Distance to Shore (300 km) High CO 2 Content (8 ~ 20%)
Some Technological Challenges Impact on FFS / ECA Procedures and How Does It Affect Tolerable Defect Sizes?
Higher Stresses / Strains During Installation Larger Thickness Including Weldments Sour Conditions The Mysterious Design Factor.... High Design Stresses Do Not Cause Failure. Damage Does!
The 0.72 Design Factor is a Historical Factor Set More than 50 Years Ago !
There is No Rational and Convincing Basis Against Increasing It. Fracture is Always a Concern .... Failure of Brazilian Pressure Vessel (2000) (Fracture Initiated at Weld Defect) Fracture is Always a Concern .... Failure of Blast Furnace in Brazilian Steel Mill (2002) (Overload Fracture due to Stress Corrosion Cracking) Fracture is Always a Concern .... Failure of Blast Furnace in Brazilian Steel Mill (2002) (Overload Fracture due to Stress Corrosion Cracking) Fracture is Always a Concern .... Failure of Blast Furnace in Brazilian Steel Mill (2002) (Overload Fracture due to Stress Corrosion Cracking) Fracture is Always a Concern .... Failure of Blast Furnace in Brazilian Steel Mill (2002) (Overload Fracture due to Stress Corrosion Cracking) Conventional Defect Assessments FFS or ECA Analysis Required
Fundamental Procedure is Based on the Good Workmanship Philosophy To Ensure That the Pipeline/Riser is Free of Fabrication Defects However, Larger and Often Severe Defects Will Invariably Occur During the Pipeline and Riser Service Life. Conventional ECA / FFS Procedures
Key Assumption is that Failure Line Does not Depend on Specimen Geometry and Strain Hardening: High Constraint Conditions Low-to-Moderate Ductile Materials Often Highly Conservative Stress-Based Approach How to Increase Tolerable Defect Sizes While Ensuring Acceptable Levels of Safety? Current Scenario Improved FFS Methods Are Required
There is Growing Concern Supported by Strong Field Evidences that Conventional FFS Procedures are not Necessarily Applicable to Newer Materials and Complex Conditions: X100 Grade Steel Ultra Deep Waters Heavy Thickness Pipes Sour Environment
Strain-Based Analysis Defines a Limit State Condition in Which Structural Behavior is Controlled by Imposed Displacements Strain-Based Analysis
The Collapse Analysis Built Into FAD Procedures Relies on Determining Net Section Yielding in the Crack Ligament
For Higher Grade Steels or Overmatched Girth Welds the Applied Strain Can Be Much Higher than the Yield Strain When the Material is in the Plastic Range, Small Changes in Stress Cause Large Changes in Strain Strain-Based Analysis
Post-Yield Behavior Does Affect the Tolerable Defect Size in a Structural Component After Yielding, the Evolving Near-Tip Stresses and Crack Driving Forces (J , CTOD) Strongly Depend on the Plastic Straining Capacity
Pipe Steels with Lower YT-Ratios (X60) May Allow Larger Defects than Higher YT-Ratios (X100) Strain-Based Analysis Laboratory to Field Conditions

Proportionality Between J (CTOD) and Applied Loading is Very Good for High and Moderate Hardening (All Crack Configurations) and Low Hardening (Shallow Cracks)

Estimation of J Based Upon Applied Strain (e.g., DNV-OS-F101) API Grade 5L X60 J vs. Global Response Estimation of Maximum Crack Driving Forces in Pipe Reeling Mechanically Lined Pipes Lined pipes consist of a C-Mn pipe which has a layer of CRA in contact with the production fluid and hence, its corrosive environment. The layer of Corrosion Resistant Alloy (CRA) is applied through a mechanical bond between the CRA and the C-Mn pipe. Key Issues
