Environments Lab air (baseline): 70-75°F, 40-60% RH
Seawater: ASTM D1141 substitute ocean water open to the air with cathodic protection: - 1050mv vs. Saturated Calomel Electrode
Sour Brine: Production brine with oxygen below 10 ppb and 35% H2S + 65% CO2

Test Frequency Options Replicate tests using Frequency Schedule 1
• Advantage: closest to service conditions• Disadvantage: may be non-conservative, and increases
test duration Replicate tests using Frequency Schedule 2
• Advantage: provides conservative results, and decreases test duration
• Disadvantage: may not be best representation of riser loading frequency – i.e. damage may be too conservative
One test each at Frequency Schedules 1 and 2• Advantage: Defines effect of frequency on fatigue damage• Disadvantage: no test replication
14
Project Schedule Complete FCGR testing: 4-6 months
Complete S-N testing: 12-14 months• Total Material-Envirs. 9 (including added sour tests• Completed Mat-Envirs. 1• Remaining Mat-Envirs. 8• Remaining machine time: 48 Months• Remaining calendar time: 12-14 months (4 test machines)
15
Other Issues1. Higher strength materials exhibiting signs of
SCC in both sour brine and SW+CP• Recommend adding selected SCC tests• Formulating Workscope and cost estimate for SCC
testing2. Need to add funding for additional sour
brine testing identified at kick-off meeting• Total cost = testing cost – savings on air tests being
conducted at NETL• Formulating workscope and cost estimate for these addition
sour brine tests.• Source of cost sharing: donated materials?
