HPHT Materials - Push the Limit with Standardization and Innovation

High pressure high temperature (HPHT) technology and field development have received much attention in recent years. Materials for HPHT environments, including ultra-high strength alloys and soft polymer compounds will in some cases be close to their capability limits. Materials testing and qualification have therefore been challenging for HPHT equipment design and project execution. At the same time, lower oil prices have put cost pressures on...
