Argentina Readies Legislation to Advance Energy Sector, Including LNG Exports

Reuters resport: Argentine President Alberto Fernandez on Wednesday said his government plans in coming days to submit legislation to the national congress that "would give certainty" to energy producers and help advance Argentina's LNG agenda.

The Vaca Muerta shale basin, the world's second largest unconventional gas reserve and the fourth largest oil reserve, gives the country strong advantages in oil and gas markets, he said, speaking to an audience of energy executives in Houston.

"I am convinced that based on the amount of reserves that Argentina has, we must think about designing a country where energy is the central axis," Fernandez told the audience that included executives from Chevron Corp., Exxon Mobil Corp., Equinor, Shell and Schlumberger.

The energy bill, being drafted with Economy Minister Sergio Massa, will encompass LNG, hydrogen, lithium, solar and other forms of energy, Fernandez said in remarks after the event.

The South American country will have an energy trade deficit again this year, Fernandez said, but the government expects that rising output in Vaca Muerta and the construction of a key domestic gas pipeline will reverse that deficit. By 2026 Argentina would register a $13 billion energy trade surplus, he said.

Energy companies operating in Argentina hope the gas line will be ready soon, executives in the meeting said, noting that a lack of sufficient capacity has delayed some gas production increase plans and held back output of oil and associated gas.

Monel K500/ UNS N05500/ DIN W.Nr. 2.4375 Properties or Features, Heat treatment

Monel K500/ UNS N05500/ DIN W.Nr. 2.4375 Properties or Features

Monel K500 is a nickel-copper alloy and have a excellent corrosion resistance than Monel 400. And alloy 500 is about three times of the yield strength and double of tensile strength than Monel 400. The Monel K500 is widely used for pump, shafts, oil, well tools and instruments, doctor blades and scapers, spring, valve trims, fasteners, and marine propeller shafts.

Heat Treatment for alloy K500

The annealing is performed both for softening of the matrix after working and for solution of the age-hardening phase. Adequate softening may be achieved with temperatures as low as 760-871℃, but heating at 982℃ for hot finished products and 1038℃ for cold drawn products is recommended for optimum response to subsequent age hardening. Grain growth becomes fairly rapid above 982℃, and if a fine-grained structure is desired heating time should be kept to a min. at these higher temperatures.

Monel 404/ UNS N04404 Properties/ Feature and Annealing

Monel 404/ UNS N04404 Properties/ Feature and Annealing

Monel 404 / UNS N04404 is a relatively high copper alloy, which has high strength and a wide temperature range with excellent resistance to many corrosive environments. The alloy should be annealed at 760℃(1400℉) for one hour. Monel 404 is widely used for marine, chemical equipment, electronic devices, aerospace, building products.

Incoloy 825/ UNS N08825/ DIN W.Nr. 2.4858 Properties, corrosion, fabrication and hot&cold forming

Incoloy 825 Properties

Incoloy 825/ UNS N08825/ DIN W.Nr. 2.4858 is a nickel iron chromium alloy with molybdenum, copper and titanium. The nickel content is sufficient for resistance to chloride-ion stress corrosion cracking. The molybdenum is resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. The alloy’s chromium contents confers resistance to a variety of oxidizing substances such as nitric acid, nitrates and oxidizing salt. The alloy 825 is applicate to nuclear fuel reprocessing, oil and gas, chemical processing, petrochemical piping, pollution-control equipment.

Incoloy 825 corrosion

Incoloy alloy 825 is high level of corrosion resistance. In both reducing and oxidize environments. the alloy resists general corrosion, pitting, crevice corrosion, intergranular corrosion, and stress-corrosion cracking.

Fabrication for UNS N08825

Incoloy alloy 825 are products are heat treated during manufacturing all the mill to develop the optimum combination of stabilization, corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, and formability. To maintain these properties during fabrication, subsequent anneals should be performed between 1700 to 1800℉(930 to 980℃) followed by rapid air cooling or water quenching. Heat treatment in the lower end of the range is acceptable for stabilization. However, annealing at temperatures in the higher end of this range may be preferred for softness and grain structure for forming and deep-drawing while maintaining corrosion resistance. Quenching is usually not necessary for parts of thin cross section, but may be desired to avoid sensitization in products of heavier cross section.

Hot and Cold Forming

The hot working range for alloy 825 is 1600 to 2150℉(870 to 1180℃). For optimum corrosion resistance, final hot working should be done at temperatures between 1600 and 1800℉(870 and 980℃).

Incoloy 800/ UNS N08800/ DIN W.Nr. 1.4876 Characteristic, Corrosion Resistance and Heating and Pickling

Incoloy 800 Characteristic

Incoloy 800/UNS N08800/DIN W.Nr. 1.4876 is a heat and corrosion-resistant alloy with a relatively low nickel content. It is widely used for its strength at high temperatures and its ability to resist oxidation, carburization and other types of high-temperature corrosion, like: petrochemical equipment or components, heating element sheathing, and nuclear steam generator tubing. 

Corrosion Resistance for Incoloy 800

Alloy 800, 800H and 800HT have the same nickel, chromium and iron contents and generally display similar corrosion resistance. Alloy 800H and 800HT are used for high-temperature strength, corrosive enviroments to with these alloys are exposed normally involve high-temperature reactions such as oxidation and carburization.

Heating and Pickling

Heating must be performed in a low sulfur atmosphere. Open heating must be done with low sulfur fuel, and the furnace atmosphere must be maintained in a reducing condition to prevent excessive oxidation.

Because of the readiness with which chromium is oxidized into a refractory oxide by air, carbon dioxide or water vapor, alloy 800 series cannot be bright annealed in the usual industrial annealing furnace. Under closely controlled conditions, the alloy can be bright annealed in dry, pure hydrogen(dew point of -58℃/-73℉) or lower, less than 0.004% by volume water, and less than 0.007% by volume air.
