3 The Energy Institute (EI) is the chartered professional membership body for the energy industry, supporting over individuals working in or studying energy and 250 energy companies worldwide. The EI provides learning and networking opportunities to support professional development, as well as professional recognition and technical and scientific knowledge resources on energy in all its forms and applications. The EI s purpose is to develop and disseminate knowledge, skills and good practice towards a safe, secure and sustainable energy system. In fulfilling this mission, the EI addresses the depth and breadth of the energy sector, from fuels and fuels distribution to health and safety, sustainability and the environment. It also informs policy by providing a platform for debate and scientifically-sound information on energy issues. The EI is licensed by: the Engineering Council to award Chartered, Incorporated and Engineering Technician status; the Science Council to award Chartered Scientist status, and the Society for the Environment to award Chartered Environmentalist status. It also offers its own Chartered Energy Engineer, Chartered Petroleum Engineer and Chartered Energy Manager titles. A registered charity, the EI serves society with independence, professionalism and a wealth of expertise in all energy matters. This publication has been produced as a result of work carried out within the Technical Team of the EI, funded by the EI s Technical Partners. The EI s Technical Work Programme provides industry with cost-effective, value-adding knowledge on key current and future issues affecting those operating in the energy sector, both in the UK and internationally.

7 FOREWORD The Guidelines for the management of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in oil and gas production have been developed with corrosion engineering staff on operational oil and gas production facilities in mind. Consequently, a working knowledge of corrosion science and technology has been assumed. No such prior knowledge of microbiological matters, however, has been expected. Instead, the intention has been to present salient microbiological information in a way that aids understanding rather than confuses by using unexplained microbiological terminology. This has been achieved in two ways. Firstly, at the end of each appropriate section in the text a short summary section is presented which outlines the key points of the section in a very condensed style. Secondly, a glossary of terminology appears in section 8. 6

9 1 INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE 1.1 IMPORTANCE OF MIC The economic importance of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is difficult to quantify because there are a number of mechanisms by which the activity of microorganisms may accelerate corrosion, some of which are poorly understood. In addition, the diagnosis of MIC is difficult since there are no universally accepted guidelines to assist the investigator and no unambiguous 'fingerprints' that absolutely implicate microbiological activities. Estimates of the importance of MIC in oil and gas producing facilities are variable, but Pope et al. (1990) suggested that 20 to 30 % of corrosion damage in some systems has a microbiological basis. If left uncontrolled, microbiological activity can give rise to material failures (Figure 1) with all of the attendant additional financial costs of system shut down and lost production as well as potential environmental implications. Figure 1: Failure of produced water re-injection line caused by activity of sulfatereducing bacteria Crolet (2005) described the failure of a main pipeline in the Congo twice within one year as a result of the influence of microbiological processes. The cost for each line failure was given as between $10 million and $20 million. Clearly, MIC can inflict a significant financial penalty on oilfield operations. 8
