Microbiologically influenced corrosion of oilfield producing well equipment

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7229747
This oilfield has been waterflooded for many years. After it was placed under polymer flood, severe corrosion was noted in the producing wells. This corrosion appears to be related to polymer breakthrough. Extensive analyses including various microbiological techniques strongly indicated bacterial involvement and a successful program of biocide treatments were begun on the wells.
