Bacteria are living organisms that occur in nature and can be found in a very wide range of conditions. The most common sources of bacteria are surface waters such as river or seawater.
In some oil and gas fields, river or seawater is used in conjunction with produced water as injection to maintain reservoir pressure.
Bacteria can cause a range of problems. From the formation of microbial slime to the release of compounds that are hazardous to the production process. Such as hydrogen sulfide and organic acids, which lower the pH of the medium and can cause corrosion due to microbial activity.
RauanNTech LLP has a wide range of Rancid biocides to suppress microbial activity. The testing laboratory of RauanNTech LLP has the necessary equipment and consumables - nutrient media to select an effective chemical reagent for the conditions of the production facility.
Taking into account the peculiarities of the production facility and the field, specialists of "RauanNTech" LLP are ready to offer an individual treatment program with control over the efficiency of application.
