Welcome to Socrates Online

The Socrates system is a comprehensive material selection tool for oil and gas applications and provides the user access to the material selection decisions and decision logic of a domain expert and the pooled expertise of a distinguished group of oil companies, equipment manufacturers and materials suppliers in selection of CRA. The system also embodies information from other sources such as published literature on lab and field experience related to oil and gas field service as well as proprietary test data on evaluation of specific CRA material classes. The software system is integrated with a database containing information about lab/field experience of several classes of CRA as well as a database on CRA material compositions.

  • CRA evaluation based on mechanical strength parameters, heat treatment/cold work and hardness limitations.
  • Material selection based on characterization of the environment in terms of operating pressure, temperature, pH, H2S, Chlorides, Elemental Sulfur, aeration, Gas to Oil Ratio and Water to Gas Ratio/water cut.
  • CRA evaluation for stress corrosion cracking (SCC), hydrogen embrittlement cracking (HEC) and sulfide stress cracking (SSC)
  • CRA evaluation for resistance to pitting corrosion.
  • Selection of final set of materials based on application related constraints.
  • The system also facilitates a database search for the conditions specified by the user. The database contains information from literature relevant to applications of CRA. Further, the system comes with a cost analysis module that allows the user to compare costs of utilization of different alloys.
