This paper is a resume of the applications of the various grades of tubing in sweet and sour condensate wells and sweet and sour oil wells. The various modes of corrosion damage in the different tubing materials are discussed. Sour condensate wells are particularly troublesome since the sulfide stress cracking is closely related to the mechanical properties. Stress corrosion cracking may be a serious problem in the high strength materials. Mechanical properties and the effects on service are examined. Transverse notch ductility is a critical factor in high strength steels. Common defects found in the various grades are discussed. 8.4.3
