Oil field operating company’s (1) flowline network in North and West Kuwait (NWK) has over 3000 wells connected through 6” carbon steel pipelines flowing from wellhead to the nearest Gathering Center (GC). Untreated wet crude is transported through the flowlines to GC’s directly or passing through the Remote Headers and Manifold (RHM) to GCs. In RHM, mixing of the wet crude takes place before it is sent to GC’s via transfer lines for further separation. The flowlines are laid aboveground except at road crossings where they are buried.

A stationary testing method and a porous media flow reactor method were used for these studies. The effect of different NRB, including NO2NRB and sulfide-oxidizing NRB (SONRB) on corrosion of carbon steel beads in the presence and absence of nitrate was also investigated using porous media flow reactors.
In order to implement an effective iron scale mitigation strategy, operators first need to identify the main source of iron in the system. This work describes a method to predict the “maximum dissolved iron” (MDI) concentration in a reservoir/production system.
Biocides are used in hydraulic fracturing operations to control the growth of contaminant microorganisms that lead to corrosion, souring, and conductivity loss.1,2 A variety of biocides are utilized and can be classified by mechanism of action, speed of kill, and the length of residual activity.In general, rapid-acting biocides such as chlorine dioxide (ClO2) and DBNPA (2,2-dibromo-3- nitrilopropionamide) inactivate bacteria quickly but have little to no residual activity. Glutaraldehyde (Glut) reacts more slowly and provides some residual activity, particularly at lower wellbore or reservoir temperatures.
Experimental work has demonstrated that novel combinations of the preservative 1,3-Dimethylol-5,5-dimethylhydantoin and tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate (THPS).can provide synergistic biocidal performance against commonly found oilfield bacteria.
