... in those systems [ 1 , 2 ]. Representatives of the microorganism types present in pipeline systems associated with MIC are Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria (SRB), Iron-Oxidizing Bacteria (IOB), and Methanogenic Archaea (MET) [ 3 ]. In pipeline systems, various scraping (pigging) activities are scheduled to clean...

...EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES Geochemical Analysis Abstract Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) has been determined to be the leading cause of corrosion in pipelines and equipment in a crude oil processing facility. A high number of corrosion-causing microorganisms have been detected...

... and reduced maintenance expenditures. MIC BCSR Mechanistic model Biofilm formation Metal loss INTRODUCTION Corrosion, which is the degradation of materials due to chemical or electrochemical reactions with their environment, poses significant economic and safety concerns across various industries...

... (SRB) are a major concern in the oil and gas industry with significant economic and safety implication. They are known to be major contributors to microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in oil and gas production systems and associated with reservoir souring. Early detection and monitoring of SRB...

... also showed the marks of tint and in the center two small leaks were noticed indicating sub surface cavities containing less than 1mm diameter. Another leak appeared as a result of mechanical cleaning on the ID side indicating the possibilities of MIC. Likewise, sample B showed nearly 5mm wide affected...

...Abstract Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is one of the most damaging forms of corrosion. Microorganisms naturally present in the reservoir or introduced to it by contaminated injection water can travel through the network and find their way to the pipeline. An oil production field...
