Bacterial activity creates many problems in the petroleum industry. Cormetrics has the specialized knowledge and technology available to assist in investigating producing and injection systems for:
microbially influenced corrosion
injection well plugging
fouling in lines and filters
reservoir souring
We can assist the producer in the in situ examination of failed equipment and pipelines. Important information can often be obtained by being on site when equipment is being repaired. Investigation of production history and operating methods done on-site often reveal significant details. On-site work also offers the opportunity to collect representative samples of solids and produced fluids and to perform on-site analyses.
Cormetrics can assist the producer in selecting, implementing and managing cost effective and appropriate technologies for use in resolving production problems caused by corrosion, scale, bacteria. Emulsion or wax and ashpaltenes.
