Additional information

This was an outcome of a KTP project (KTP07504) with Hunting Energy Services Ltd (UK) looking into the important role of tribology in the reliability and performance of subsea oil/gas pipelines. The paper commissioned an efficient method to test friction and galling performance of various surface coatings and lubrication systems applied in premium oil/gas pipelines. The underlining science of friction and lubrication was uncovered based on the experimental results. This has helped the company engineers (Andrew.leech@hunting-intl.co.uk) to understand the field observations and to improve operation. The project was followed by a PhD project developing a numerical model of the system.
