   The use of SOCRATES® analysis will assist you in determining the most economical material choice through a rigorous evaluation of general corrosion susceptibility of various oilfileld material grades, with or without inhibition in the operating environment. Given the environmental conditions supplied by you, the SOCRATES® system generates a synergistic measure of the environmental severity and the required pitting index. The program then generates a comprehensive list of all materials that will provide satisfactory performance in the specified environment, grouped into applicable metallurgical classes. Additionally, a steel corrosion index factor can be computed to provide a comparison as to the corrosion rate for carbon steel products in the same environment.

    To utilize this free service please complete a SOCRATES® questionnaire. Typically, we will have a completed analysis returned to you within one or two working days. We can also run multiple reports to simulate various environmental conditions you think you might encounter in your well.

    The SOCRATES® materials analysis report, combined with your field experience, the life expectancy of the well and other relevant factors, can assist you in making the best choice of material grade for your production tubing. This choice can result in the lowest lifetime cost and highest potential return on investment for your well.
