Development of a new approach for modelling the tribocorrosion of cemented tungsten carbide in oil and gas drilling environments
Thesis
Full-text available
  • Nov 2017
One of the primary activities involved in oil & gas recovery is the drilling operation that allows access to the reservoir rock. Cemented tungsten carbide (WC-Co) is used to protect downhole components and is subject to both abrasive wear and corrosive degradation, called a tribocorrosion system. The combined result of these degradation mechanisms...
