Please recommend me some good reference books covering the basics of material selection in oil and gas, petrochemical plants.

I am not sure if you have tried, "Materials Selection for Hydrocarbon and Chemical Plants" by David A. Hansen and Robert B. Puyear
This text provides a systematic, workflow-oriented approach tailored directly to process plants. It introduces a template-driven logic for material selection that incorporates operating temperatures, pressures, process fluid compositions, and transient conditions. For a chemical engineer, it bridges the gap between process conditions (such as minimum design metal temperature) and mechanical/material specification codes.

Nope, did not try that.
Let me check the sort of templates you are suggesting to follow within that.
