Description

This project is a material testing program to enable operators to safely produce oil and gas from high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) and sour HPHT reservoirs. Completion of the testing program will support more widespread development of HPHT and sour HPHT reserves by providing designers with some of the material property data necessary to perform design verification analyses in accordance with American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice 6HP (API RP 6HP).
