A Road Map For Innovation In Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) In The Gas Pipeline

A roadmap for innovation on microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in oil and gas pipelines
Available for download

A recent review provided an overview of current microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) research. It established that despite extensive study and numerous publications, fundamental questions relating to MIC remain unanswered and stress the lack of information associated with MIC recognition, prediction, and mitigation (Little et al., 2020). On the other hand, bibliometric analysis on the MIC of engineering systems conducted a knowledge gap analysis to focus research efforts and to develop a roadmap for MIC research (Hashemi et al., 2018).

This exploratory research focused on using patent data analysis to develop a technology roadmap for innovation on microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in the oil and gas pipelines to advance the current understanding of this phenomenon through the LENS patents database. 

Evolution in the number of patent documents (applications and grants) from 1990 to 2020 demonstrated that MIC in the oil and gas pipeline had been an area of continuous growth throughout the last 15 years. Since 2007 a remarkable increase in the trends of patent records started, reaching its highest value in 2013. In the retrieved set (1,891 records) the 63.4% corresponded to patent applications, and 36% granted patents. The legal status of patents indicated that 38.9% were related to active patents, 29.1% to pending patents, and 32% to discontinued records. Private corporations dominate as the most productive and influential sector in patent production. The top ten applicants on patent records were private companies, including Ecolab USA Inc (86), Dow Global Technologies (59), Du Pont (59), and from academia only Harvard College (41). The same trend was identified in the top ten owners in the sample, including Ecolab USA Inc (81), Dow Global Technologies LLC (51), Du Pont (41), and from academia just Harvard (24). The USA (1190), WIPO (451), and European patents (235) were the three leading jurisdictions in the data set.

The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the current advancements of monitoring the integrity level of the processing facilities using means of Integrity Operating Window (IOW) program. In our company, integrity and material & corrosion departments across the upstream and downstream businesses successfully implemented a well oriented and constructive IOW programs to manage the corrosion risks and monitor the integrity level of the capital assets and proactively assess the situation to prevent loss of primary containment. The technology that sets behind this success is the digitalized approach that gathers information from process, operations, lab services and inspection programs and converts them all into a high-level real-time tracking system that asses the current status of corrosion threats and integrity level.

It is fair to say that maintenance in the worldwide oil and gas industry has changed dramatically over the past ten years.  Facility owners are more than ever looking to reduce shutdown times, to improve plant efficiency and to extend plant lifetimes. With this comes the increased industry understanding about corrosion under insulation (CUI) with its deleterious impact and the ongoing desire for pragmatic high performance and cost-effective coating solutions.

A Review Of Chloride Stress Corrosion Cracking Factors For Austenitic Stainless Steel

Product Number: 51322-17524-SG
Author: Sangeetha Rao
Publication Date: 2022
$20.00

This paper will identify and document how these different factors affect the susceptibility of austenitic stainless steel to Chloride-Stress Corrosion cracking based on a review of currently available literature. A review of current industry best practices and a review of how the Oxygen content, the pH and application of stress relief affects Chloride-Stress Corrosion Cracking will be documented and presented.
