A NEW AGE-HARDENABLE CORROSION RESISTANT ALLOY FOR DEEP SOUR GAS WELL SERVICE Edward L. Hibner Into Alloys International, Inc. Huntington, WV 25720 ABSTRACT Alloy 725(UNS N07725)is a highly corrosion resistant alloy capable of being age-hardened to 0.2% yield strengths from 115to 140ksi (793 to 965 MPa), while maintaining a high level of ductility and toughness1. As alloy 725 is an austenitic nickel base alloy which is strengthened by precipitation of a gamma double-prime (y”) during aging, large section sizescan achieve uniform hardening throughout the cross section. The alloy is resistant to pitting and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in Deep Sour Gas Well environments containing NaCl, H2S and S at temperatures up to about 450” to 500°F (232” to 26O”C), and to sulfide stress cracking (SSC) in the NACE TM-0177 environment. Alloy 725also exhibits excellent corrosion resistanceto other commercially significant environments, such as seawater and mineral acids. INTRODUCTION The trend in oil and gas production has been toward deeper wells, enhanced recovery methods and offshore field exploration. Deeper wells and enhanced recovery methods, such as steam injection, in-situ combustion and CO2 injection, result in hostile environments due to increased temperatures, pressures and environmental H2S and CO;! and chloride content. For severaldecadesthere has beena needto develop newmaterials for usein production of oil and gas? Much of the research has centered around t
