The steam injection process is used to obtain asphalt from oil sand. In the steam injection process, asphalt is obtained by injecting high-temperature, high-pressure steam into underground oil sand layers.
The steam injection process is used to obtain asphalt from oil sand. In the steam injection process, asphalt is obtained by injecting high-temperature, high-pressure steam into underground oil sand layers.
[0003]
Steel pipes used in the steam injection process lead steam to oil sand layers. The temperature of the steam is 300 to 350 C. Also, the steam has high pressures. For this reason, steel pipes for steam injection capable of withstanding high temperatures and high pressures are required. More specifically, steel pipes for steam ak 02790278 2012-08-16 injection having high strength in the temperature range of 300 to 350 C are required.
