Biocides play a crucial role in oil and gas production by effectively controlling microbial activity that can lead to costly operational issues such as souring, corrosion, and reservoir plugging. Two notable biocide series, MicroBreak and BioSuite, highlight their effectiveness in maintaining production integrity and efficiency.
The MicroBreak series is specifically designed and optimised to provide a high level of broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. It targets both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, including acid-producing bacteria (APB) and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). These biocides are essential in preventing microbial-induced corrosion (MIC) and souring of reservoir fluids, ensuring operational stability and asset longevity.
BioSuite G Series biocides are formulated to combat a wide range of bacteria, including aerobes, SRBs, and APBs. They effectively inhibit microbial growth in production systems, reducing the risk of pipeline corrosion and formation damage caused by microbial activity. These biocides are crucial in maintaining clean and efficient production operations.
BioSuite T Series biocides offer comprehensive spectrum inhibition of bacterial growth. They are designed to prevent the proliferation of bacteria in oil and gas production environments, ensuring the integrity of reservoir fluids and production equipment. These biocides contribute to stable production rates and minimize the need for costly interventions due to microbial issues.
Biocides from the MicroBreak and BioSuite series prevent microbial-induced issues such as souring, corrosion, and plugging in reservoirs and production equipment. By controlling bacterial populations, these biocides maintain production efficiency and protect infrastructure integrity.
The application of biocides enhances operational efficiency by reducing downtime associated with microbial-related problems. They enable continuous production and extend the operational lifespan of oil and gas assets.
Biocides used in oil and gas production, including those from the MicroBreak and BioSuite series, are developed with environmental and safety considerations in mind. They are formulated to meet regulatory standards while effectively managing microbial threats.
Biocides are essential tools in oil and gas production for controlling microbial activity and maintaining operational integrity. The MicroBreak and BioSuite series exemplify their efficacy in preventing microbial-related issues, ensuring reliable production and minimising environmental impact. Their application contributes significantly to the sustainable and efficient operation of oil and gas facilities worldwide.
Product and customer insights
Despite numerous cleanings, the productivity of the Reverse Osmosis plant would not recover from severe membrane fouling. The membrane autopsy revealed that the ferric hydroxide was seeding
silica polymerization and that even while the ferric hydroxide was removed, the silica scaling was continuing to grow.
The plant was experiencing weekly shutdowns for fiber clean up (~ 3 kg bags of matted slurry is cleaned per week). The shut downs were costly as they reduce plant availability for production.
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regulation, known as IMO 2020 was the the largest change in regulation relating to marine fuels impacting 75% of the fuel used by the shipping industry.
Keeping drilling costs low using Redi-Guard™ High Performance, an ecologically friendly drilling fluid technology with revolutionary rheological and shale encapsulation properties
AWC A-110 effectively inhibited scale at a dosage of 3.5 ppm and an operating pH of 6.9. This increase in operating pH reduced the district’s annual acid consumption by ~$350K per year based on their current production.
Research indicates that Sea Buckthorn may be able to strengthen the immune system. One in vitro study focused on the possible immunomodulatory properties of Sea Buckthorn.
MCI® -2020 V/O and ChemMaster’s Colorsil were chosen to repair and protect the walls based on their 20 year warranties and the fact that together they could fulfill the other specified repair design requirements.
The East Hokkaido region is known to have the highest volume of potato product in Japan. Unfortunately, a potato farmer in the area was experiencing a high rate of potato scab infection in his agricultural field.
