For gas and crude oil reserves, Canada ranks third in the world. Production and transmission of oil and gas are key components of Canada's economy. As conventional supplies of oil and gas are being exhausted, new sources of energy must be harvested from increasingly harsh environments using new technologies. New challenges have also emerged such as CO2 injection for enhanced oil recovery. The technological challenges of transporting these resources from production sites to markets requires construction of an infrastructure for transportation to processing hubs in Western Canada, and to markets in Eastern and Western Canada and the U.S. Both production and transmission of oil and gas from these remote locations demand improved materials to ensure reliability, public safety, and environmental protection. This is required in order to provide Canadians with a sustainable infrastructure for energy delivery. This presentation will describe nearly two decades of collaboration between industry and university to advance and improve microalloyed steels that are used for the transmission of oil and gas.
