Green biocides for microbial growth at oil and gas industry
The Problem
In the oil and gas industry, the development and operation of an oilfield usually is affected by undesired microbial growth. The development and operation of a well is usually affected by unwanted microbial growth. The microbial contamination may occur when well is being drilled, when the well is being stimulated or when the well is in production phase.
Petrowiki has published a valuable document under the Chapter Petroleum Engineering Handbook. One of such documents (Well Production Problems) offer a good description of the scale problem. We publish here some excerpts of suocuments and the links to read at its original publisher page.
Inhibition of Oilfield Scales using Plant Materials: A Peep into Green Future
A recent study published by Ekemini B. Ituen1, Joy I. Ime-Sunday1 and Edidiong A. Essien2, demonstrates that oilfield scales have been effectively managed using scale inhibitors derived from inorganic and organic polyphosphates, carboxylic acid and carbohydrate based polymers, and ethylene diamine tetracetic acid (EDTA) based compounds.
