In the early years, the pipeline was closer to the central city, and the geographical environment and social support conditions were superior. Today, most of the newly discovered oil and gas fields are located in remote areas and areas with harsh geographical and climatic conditions, such as the Algeria gas field that supplies gas to the Western European market, the Siberia gas field that can supply gas to the Far East market, and the North Alaska that can supply gas to the American market.
With the development of oil and gas fields in harsh environments such as remote oil and gas fields, polar oil and gas fields, offshore oil and gas fields, and sour oil and gas fields, oil and gas pipeline engineering is faced with the challenges of high-pressure transportation and harsh environments such as low temperature, large displacement, deep sea, and acidic media.
In order to ensure the safety of pipeline construction and operation, the basic requirements and development trends of pipeline steel are high strength, high toughness, large deformation, thick wall, high corrosion and good weldability.
API 5L X52 (L360) pipeline steel is a good choice. Some details are following:
