58 Kazakhstan has the power to become a leader in integrity management for sour service, providing materials, products and services tailored to the local environment and meeting the highest international standards. Kazakhstan Upstream oil & gas technology and R&D roadmap
2.1 Corrosion plus equipment and materials for sour service Challenge commentary A combination of extreme weather, production streams containing high levels of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide and, in some cases, an offshore environment means that corrosion is a severe challenge for the Kazakhstan oil and gas industry. Uzen, Karamadybas and Zhetybay, all high water cut fields, are known to have problems with production casing integrity, while mature fields like Kumkol South, Tengiz and Korolev are reportedly beset by a variety corrosion-related issues. Improving corrosion management across Kazakhstan’s oilfields is a huge challenge. However, the prize is considerable: better management would lead to more efficient operations, improved productivity, and reduced downtime; it would also improve HSE performance. Effective and early leak detection is a specific issue. Kazakhstan needs to have robust systems for leak detection at the surface and downhole that are tailored to work under conditions where H 2 S is present. High pressure, high temperature streams containing extremely high levels of H 2 S place enormous demands on the pumps and compressors used for liquid and, especially, gas reinjection. Such equipment for sour service is available internationally but conditions in fields such as Kashagan are as extreme as anywhere in the world (15% H 2 S). The challenge is take the best available technology, adapt it and apply it in Kazakhstan. Corrosion-resistant alloys and reinforced polymer materials can provide good containment solutions in demanding production environments and for pipelines carrying aggressive streams. But they are expensive and have long lead times. Kazakhstan needs to develop its own materials science capabilities in this area in order to provide cost-effective and tailored solutions to the corrosion problems faced on a frequent basis by most operators.
