SUPERNOVA 316 Slickline

SUPERNOVA 316 Slickline

SUPERNOVA 316 Slickline

With its combination of high break loads and good pitting and crevice corrosion resistance, Supernova 316® is a cost-effective solution for less corrosive oil and gas wells with zero H2S.

Manufactured in Switzerland and certified to 9001: 2008 all Supernova Slicklines are fully traceable, 100% Weld Free, 100% Eddy Current Tested and Wrap Tested.

All are produced with a consistent, tightly controlled surface finish, wire helix and wire cast for optimal spooling and in-service performance.

Key Characteristics

  • Good general corrosion resistance in wells with medium concentrations of CO2 (up to 30%) and low chlorides (up to 2.5%) with both moderate Bottom Hole Temperatures and Pressures and no H2S
  • Excellent resistance to general corrosion
  • High break loads due to high tensile strength
  • May be used in temperatures up to 150°C in less corrosive environments
  • Subject to pitting and crevice corrosion in warm chloride environments and to stress corrosion cracking above 60°C
  • An economical option where carbon (plow) slicklines may fail due to corrosion
  • Not recommended for wells containing H2S

Corrosion Resistance PRE Number (PRE)

PRE: 23.5 – 27 

PRE = Cr + 3.3 x Mo + 1616 x N
 
Pitting Resistance Equivalent numbers (PRE) are a way of comparing the pitting corrosion resistance of
various stainless steels based on the levels of chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen they contain with the most frequently used formula and Novametal’s preferred method for calculating PRE numbers being :

PRE = Chromium + 3.3 x Molybdenum + 16 x Nitrogen.
 
Some suppliers may use a factor of 30 x N, resulting in a marginally inflated PRE Number.
