Microbiological Profile and Risk Exposures in Topside Production Systems of FPSOs in West Africa

Product Number: 51322-18017-SG

Publication Date: 2022

The incidence and proliferation of microbial population in oil and gas production facilities can have undesirable consequences on upstream, midstream and downstream production systems. Microbes thrive in the anaerobic conditions encountered in these systems and are supported by nutrients and metabolites found in produced water. Although the majority of process and water injection systems are susceptible to microbial fouling, the development of microbial activity is exacerbated by specific conditions such as stagnant fluids or the presence of deposits.¹ Threats of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) and other challenges associated with microorganisms have become valid as more cases are reported. While MIC, biofouling (BF), and reservoir souring are three of the most common problems associated with microbes, many other production issues can be attributable to microbial activity including: employee infections, filter plugging, loss of injectivity, and metal sulfide deposits.²

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) in the Upstream Oil & Gas Sector

Product Number: 37674-POD

ISBN: 978-1-57590-424-5

Author: Ali Morshed

$125.00

NEW TITLE AVAILABLE NOW!! The main objective for Dr. Ali Morshed's new book, A Practical Guide to Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) in the Upstream Oil & Gas Sector, was to produce a practical MIC guide to facilitate the identification, monitoring, assessment, and control of bacterial activity and MIC that might arise within assets associated with the upstream oil and gas sector.

“Practical” refers to content that can be readily related to various bacterial and MIC scenarios, which are likely to arise for any upstream operator and (a content which) can be easily used to resolve, rectify, or improve such MIC scenarios.

In brief, this book has been written to further help and facilitate bacterial and MIC troubleshooting for the operators and asset owners concerned.

Five relevant and informative case studies are also included.

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion Failure Of Ni-Coated Carbon Steel Fittings In Enhanced Oil Recovery Water Injection Service

Product Number: 51322-17793-SG

Author: Moavin Islam, Amal Al-Borno, Chad Walz

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

This paper presents the findings of an investigation that was carried out to determine the root cause of the premature failure of Ni-coated carbon steel fittings on the water injection composite piping system installed at an oil production facility in Western Canada. The facility had been in operation since 2011 without major corrosion issues. Many of the Ni-coated fittings, which are expected to have a service life of 20 years, started to fail (developed leaks) unexpectedly after about 4 years. The core structure of composite pipe is a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) inner pipe, a middle layer of high-strength dry fiberglass, and a protective thermoplastic outer jacket. The interconnecting fittings are made of carbon steel coated with a thin, ~40 micron (1.5 mil) layer of Nickel.

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion In Drinking Water Pipelines – Old Deposits Or Active Process?

Product Number: 51322-18068-SG

In the Netherlands, a large drinking water distribution system exists which composes of a complex network of underground pipes owned by several water companies. Part of the drinking water distributions pipes consist of cast iron pipes of which some have been installed more than 80 years ago.¹ To prevent leaks, it is desirable to have insight into the condition of these pipes and the risk of leakages or even pipe bursts. During local replacements and maintenance work, corrosion is regularly found in the pipes and previous research⁷ has indicated that Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) may be involved in this corrosion that is found in the pipes.

Utility water and fire water which is desalinated is supplied by Ministry of Electricity & Water (MEW) and stored in utility/fire water tank (70-T-0002). The process areas and the tanks are protected by desalinated water as fire water backed up by sea water and the buildings are protected completely by desalinated water. Buildings to be protected by desalinated fire water are fire station, maintenance & operation building, warehouse, workshop, laboratory, and administration building. DF water system used in buildings are stagnant and for the fire water in tanks are used frequently.

Premature Corrosion Attack of Stainless Steel Pipes and Welds

Newly constructed Stainless Steel Pipes experienced multiple leaks during commissioning. The different sizes pipe were constructed of 316L and 304L stainless steel at one of the Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) affiliates. A failure investigation was performed to identify the root cause of the leaks. Samples were cut out of the pipes for analytical study. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) was used to study the corrosion damage morphology and the chemical compositions of the corrosion products. Cross sectional samples, out of the pipes, were prepared for Metallographic examinations. XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry) and carbon/sulfur analyzer was used to identify the chemical composition of the pipes material. The failure investigation suggests that, improper welding, mothballing and lay-up of the piping network after hydrotesting promoted Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC).

Remediation of Microbially Contaminated Horizontal Wells with Acrolein

Product Number: 51320-14992-SG

Publication Date: 2020

The lengthy laterals of horizontal wells often pose microbiological challenges, as they provide more area to become microbially contaminated and require larger volumes of fluid and biocide for treatment. A Permian Basin oilfield has been experiencing MIC-related failures in its horizontal wells, which is of concern due to the associated high workover cost.

Laboratory biocide challenge testing identified several common oilfield chemistries and combinations thereof as being effective against this field’s population of microbes. However, aggressive applications of these products in the field neither delivered an effective microbial kill nor prevented the treated wells from experiencing further MIC and failures.

An acrolein field trial was conducted on a set of problematic, microbially contaminated horizontal wells over a time period of approximately one year. During this timeframe, these wells experienced microbial control for the first time, defined as meeting and maintaining microbial KPIs. Additional benefits were realized as a result of acrolein, including a dramatic improvement in water quality evident as a decrease in iron sulfide and suspended solids, a clean-out of the wells inferred by an initial increase of solids post-acrolein, a decrease in the corrosion rate as indicated by a significant reduction in iron and manganese counts, a decrease in the well failure rate, an increase in production, and an overall cost savings associated with the application of acrolein.
