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.
Scale problem in oil production is a big issue. We have found an interesting article published at Petrowiki website. We transcribe below some excerpts of such article, related to scale formation and use of inhibitors.
