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.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is a difficult degradation mechanism to diagnose in pipeline systems due to the complex interaction between biotic (i.e., microbial) and abiotic (e.g., fluid chemistry, pipe/vessel metallurgy/corrosion, and operating conditions) factors. This complexity often makes it difficult to accurately assess pipeline failures due to MIC. However, even with available data, failure investigators often face a number of challenges in diagnosing MIC such as how to properly integrate the available datasets, questions regarding data accuracy (e.g., confidence in the sampling and/or analysis method used) and lack of available information from operators (e.g., missing data). As a result, practical MIC failure assessments are most often performed by experts or specialists with significant knowledge and working experience in this topic. Based on these issues, the objectives of this thesis are three-fold: 1) to quantify the actual prevalence of MIC related pipeline failures in Alberta's oil and gas sector, 2) to perform a gap analysis of failure investigation methods used to assess these pipeline failures, and 3) to develop a novel expert system based on machine learning to assist both experts and non-experts in assessing potential MIC related pipeline failures. The first part of this study highlights a review and analysis of MIC related pipeline incidents in the province of Alberta, Canada over a three-year period (2017-2019). This review was used to quantify the occurrence of MIC failures relative to other corrosion mechanisms, and to conduct a gap analysis of MIC failure investigation techniques being used relative to the current state of the art. Over this three-year period, MIC was found to be responsible for 13.6% and 4.8% of all pipeline leak incidents due to internal and external corrosion, respectively (either as the main failure mechanism or as a contributing factor). Most of these failures were seen to occur in small diameter upstream pipelines (with less than or equal to 220.3 mm outside diameter) carrying mainly multiphase fluids (oil-water emulsions) or produced water. In terms of the failure investigation methods currently being used, it was noted that there was some inconsistency among reports and a number of important gaps were identified. Various assessments lacked microbiological test data, in particular, tests which specifically identify microbial functional groups or speciation, which is critical to confirm observed corrosion mechanisms. Furthermore, a number of these assessments identified MIC primarily on the basis of corrosion morphology, which has been shown to be an incorrect assumption and approach without additional evidence. Details related to sampling methods were also lacking in these assessments, which created some uncertainty as to the quality of data obtained. Overall, most assessments did a reasonable job in characterizing and including chemical (solids, fluids, and corrosion products), metallurgical/ corrosion, and operating data. However, the integration of these various layers of evidence (i.e., connecting corrosion to microbiological activity, and eliminating possible abiotic corrosion mechanisms) was missing in many reports. The second part of this study highlights the modeling of an expert system for the classification of internal microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) failures related to pipelines in the upstream oil and gas industry. The model is based on machine learning (artificial neural network) and involves the participation of 15 MIC subject matter experts (SMEs). Each expert evaluated a number of model case studies representative of both MIC and non-MIC related upstream pipeline failures. The model accounts for variations in microbiological testing methods, microbiological sample types, degradation morphology, among others, and also incorporates cases with select missing datasets which is commonly found in actual failure assessments. The output classifications comprised elements of both potential for MIC and confidence in the data available. The results were contrasted for 5- and 3-output classification models (5OC and 3OC, respectively). The 5OC model had an overall accuracy of 62.0% while the simpler 3OC model had a better accuracy of 74.8%. This modelling exercise has demonstrated that knowledge from subject matter experts can be captured in a reasonably effective model to screen for possible MIC failures. It is hoped that this study contributes to a better understanding of the prevalence of MIC in the oil and gas sector, and highlights the key areas necessary to improve the diagnosis of MIC failures in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microorganisms can be both beneficial and harmful to the oil and gas industry and therefore there is an increasing need for the oil industry to characterize, quantify and monitor microbial communities in real time. Oilfield Microbiology offers a fundamental insight into how molecular microbiological methods have enabled researchers in the field to analyze and quantify in situ microbial communities and their activities in response to changing environmental conditions. Such information is fundamental to the oil industry to employ more directed, cost-effective strategies to prevent the major problems associated with deleterious microbial activities (e.g., souring and biocorrosion), as well as to encourage beneficial microbe activity (e.g. oil bioremediation). The aim of the book is to understand how the technological advances in molecular microbiological methods over the last two decades are now being utilized by the oil industry to address the key issues faced by the sector. This book contains a comprehensive collection of chapters written by invited experts in the field from academia and industry and provides a solid foundation of the importance of microbes to the oil and gas industry. It is aimed at microbial ecologists, molecular biologists, operators, engineers, chemists, and academics involved in the sector.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of corrosion in the oil industry leads to the failure of parts. This failure results in shutting down the plant to clean the facility. The annual cost of corrosion to the oil and gas industry in the United States alone is estimated at $27 billion (According to NACE International)—leading some to estimate the global annual cost to the oil and gas industry as exceeding $60 billion. In addition, corrosion commonly causes serious environmental problems, such as spills and releases. An essential resource for all those who are involved in the corrosion management of oil and gas infrastructure, Corrosion Control in the Oil and Gas Industry provides engineers and designers with the tools and methods to design and implement comprehensive corrosion-management programs for oil and gas infrastructures. The book addresses all segments of the industry, including production, transmission, storage, refining and distribution. Selects cost-effective methods to control corrosion Quantitatively measures and estimates corrosion rates Treats oil and gas infrastructures as systems in order to avoid the impacts that changes to one segment if a corrosion management program may have on others Provides a gateway to more than 1,000 industry best practices and international standards
