Download or read book Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion in the Upstream Oil and Gas Industry written by Torben Lund Skovhus and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-03-03 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microorganisms are ubiquitously present in petroleum reservoirs and the facilities that produce them. Pipelines, vessels, and other equipment used in upstream oil and gas operations provide a vast and predominantly anoxic environment for microorganisms to thrive. The biggest technical challenge resulting from microbial activity in these engineered environments is the impact on materials integrity. Oilfield microorganisms can affect materials integrity profoundly through a multitude of elusive (bio)chemical mechanisms, collectively referred to as microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). MIC is estimated to account for 20 to 30% of all corrosion-related costs in the oil and gas industry. This book is intended as a comprehensive reference for integrity engineers, production chemists, oilfield microbiologists, and scientists working in the field of petroleum microbiology or corrosion. Exhaustively researched by leaders from both industry and academia, this book discusses the latest technological and scientific advances as well as relevant case studies to convey to readers an understanding of MIC and its effective management.

Download or read book Microbially Induced Corrosion and its Mitigation written by Ajay K. Singh and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brief covers case studies on Microbial Induced Corrosion (MIC) and its mitigation. After reviewing the basics of corrosion, it focuses on MIC. MIC is a special type of electrochemical corrosion in which the presence of microbes and bacteria alters the chemistry of liquid media so as to make them more corrosive. These changes are harmful to metallic equipment, processing machinery, marine vessels, etc. in an environment that is host to a wealth of microorganisms. A 2007 US survey estimated corrosion-related damages to cost $276 billion a year, roughly 50% of which are due to MIC. The industries most affected by MIC are power production, oil exploration, transportation and storage, water distribution and more generally all industries involving marine environments. However, means for effectively preventing and controlling MIC are poorly understood. As such, the book’s later chapters address various mechanisms/processes that show promise with regard to MIC mitigation. Lastly, the book discusses the strategies currently being explored to mitigate MIC using green technologies.

Download or read book Investigating Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion Using the Zero resistance Ammetry Technique in a Split Cell Format written by Robert B. Miller (II) and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is comprised of six chapters. Chapter 1 provides a background and introduction to microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). Chapter 1 describes the techniques used by gas/oil industry to monitor or detect MIC. Chapter 1 explains challenges of using such techniques. For example, nucleic acid techniques lack any information regarding corrosion, while some electrochemical approaches fail to identify MIC in a timely manner. Some electrochemical techniques may also fail to provide any mechanistic details of MIC. Chapter 2 was written and formatted for the journal Public Library of Science One (PLoS One). The article was accepted and published in January 2016. Chapter 2 investigates the role of Shewanella oneidensis in the corrosion of carbon steel under aerobic and static conditions. A novel mechanism of corrosion is presented in which carbon steel exposed to direct contact with S. oneidensis biofilm is protected from corrosion, while uncovered steel adjacent to the biofilm-covered steel suffers accelerated corrosion. Oxygen respiration by S. oneidensis limits the corrosion of the biofilm-covered carbon steel by limiting the oxygen reduction reaction. The uncovered steel becomes a net anode, resulting in its corrosion. Chapter 3 was written and formatted for the Applied and Environmental Microbiology Journal. It was accepted and published on April 13, 2018. Chapter 3 builds on the utilization of the ZRA in a split cell set up. The experiments were conducted under nitrate-reducing conditions. This research highlights problems that may arise after using nitrate as a method of controlling corrosion and fuel souring. These practices are commonly employed in the gas and oil fields. This research identifies a major mechanism of MIC being driven by two reactions. The first reaction responsible for MIC is heterogenous cathodic protection of the steel surface by nitrite. Microbial oxidation of Fe(0) in the steel was the second reaction responsible for MIC. Chapter 4 is written and formatted for Corrosion Science. Chapter 4 investigated MIC occurring at the biodiesel-water interface under long-term storage conditions. ZRA in split-cell set-up and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were both used to investigate how microbial isolates were able to alter the electrochemistry of the biodiesel-water interface. This research is particularly relevant to any industry using a non-aqueous/aqueous mixture. Chapter 4 showed elevated current, general corrosion, and pitting corrosion in incubations containing the isolates Byssochlamys sp. SW2 or Yarrowia lipolytica. The ZRA accurately predicted uniform corrosion, while the EIS accurately predicted the pitting corrosion. The EIS also illustrated the filamentous fungi Byssochlamys increasing water uptake into the biodiesel layer. Chapter 5 is written and formatted for Electrochimica Acta. Chapter 5 utilizes the ZRA technique in the same glass chamber containing biodiesel and water. Electrodes were arranged at different depths to investigate current and potential at the biodiesel-water interface. A 114-day experiment was conducted containing multiple electrodes that were arranged at different depths in the biodiesel-water column in order to determine if fungal filaments could travel from the interface into the fuel layer. The multiple electrode experiment showed as fungal hyphae migrated into the fuel layer, current (transfer of electrons) was detected between the working electrode in water and the electrode in the biodiesel. The highlight of this research article is the novel mechanism of MIC in which fungal hyphae migration from water into the fuel layer acting a salt bridge, resulting in large observed currents. Coupons with the highest currents had the highest ATP, uniform corrosion, and pitting corrosion.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MIC, which is caused by the activities or metabolites of microorganisms, is a major threat to the oil and gas industry and many other industries. Corrosive microbial biofilms are the culprits behind MIC. Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) are one of the most investigated corrosive microorganisms because they are commonly present in anaerobic environments containing sulfate such as most oil and gas systems, and they are notoriously corrosive. However, the SRB MIC mechanisms are still not very clear. SRB and NRB (nitrate reducing bacteria) can use “energetic” metals such as Fe(0) as electron donors to replace organic carbon for respiration. Because metal oxidation occurs extracellularly while sulfate or nitrate reduction occurs intracellularly with biocatalysis, extracellular electron transfer (EET) is required. This kind of MIC is known as EET-MIC. MIC can also be caused by corrosive metabolites such as organic acids and H2S that are secreted by microbes, typically with much higher concentrations underneath biofilms than in the bulk fluid. This kind of MIC is known as metabolite MIC (M-MIC).
