Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is one of the most insidious integrity threats not only to the upstream oil and gas assets, but also to the associated reservoirs. Poor and inadequate MIC mitigation therefore results both in asset equipment deterioration and reservoir souring and plugging. Furthermore, MIC deterioration rates could reach several millimeters per year. Consequently, once bacterial contamination is introduced into the system, MIC could produce corrosion leaks and failures in a very short period of time.
Therefore, it is of paramount importance to appreciate how and where bacteria grow, what their metabolism reactions are and how they could render their living environment a corrosive one. More importantly it is equally important to appreciate what the best techniques are for assessing bacterial populations and Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion and then how to control and mitigate them.
This PetroKnowledge training course has been based on extensive field experience in various continents and regions and offers various best practices in MIC monitoring, assessment and mitigation from around the world. Furthermore, the training course also demonstrates how the corrosion management concept could be utilized to significantly enhance Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion control and mitigation in any upstream oil and gas asset exposed to MIC.
By the end of this PetroKnowledge training course, participants will learn to:
This PetroKnowledge training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but those who will greatly benefit include:
This PetroKnowledge training course will be conducted via PowerPoint presentation slides containing text, tables, plots, pictures, etc. The training will be interactive; that is, on a regular basis the participants will be asked to participate in an ongoing topic, discussion or challenge.
Past Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion case studies will be presented throughout the training course to promote best international practices while simultaneously discouraging integrity practices which had resulted in impairing asset integrity in various projects. The training course will end with a short assessment to further help all the participants to remember all the important subjects, concepts and practices discussed throughout the course.
The organization as a whole will gain a new knowledge and set of skills which will help them to significantly enhance their MIC control and mitigation.
The organization gains will include:
Participants will learn to appreciate about bacterial growth conditions, monitoring techniques and assessment methods. They will also learn how to implement corrosion management applications to enhance MIC mitigation and control. Attending the course will help them to:
