Microbiological fouling in oil and gas production systems can result in significant financial loss and plant down-time if not monitored and remediated efficiently. Proliferation of Sulphate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) can cause Microbially Influenced Corrosion (MIC) in pipelines and production vessels, or reservoir souring and clogging of boreholes.
NECE provide a fully comprehensive microbiological monitoring package which combines sessile swabbing of corrosion coupons with planktonic microbiological fluid sampling to assess the extent of SRB proliferation in all systems at risk. The new service has been set up in a venture with highly reputable microbiology specialists NCIMB >
