Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Corrosion of water injection pipelines (WIP) in the oil and gas industry is a major issue involving potential premature life time predictions and unpredicted costs like periodic biocide treatment and pipeline pigging. This paper presents a part of a larger project concerned with improving understanding of the influence of bacterial activity on corrosion, as distinct from abiotic corrosion, in oil and gas transport systems for better management of pipeline systems. Observations are made concerning life time as a function of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) risk and relationships between MIC, bacterial numbers and types, and water quality.
