Application and Research Status of Titanium Alloy in Oil and Gas Exploitation

The most of the existing titanium alloys for oil well pipes are improved from titanium alloys used in other indudtries, which has high cost and poor corrosion resistance for oil well pipes. As a result, titanium alloys for oil well pipes have not been produced and applied on a large-scale in oil well pipe industry in China.The application of titanium alloy well pipe in oil and gas exploitation and the corrosion resistance of titanium alloy were summarized. In addition, the corrosion resistance deficiency of titanium alloy material in China was sorted out, which provides references for subsequent research.
