Sulphate-reducing prokaryotes (SRP) have been identified in oil field fluids since the 1920s.
SRP reduce sulphate to sulphide, a toxic and corrosive species that impacts on operational …

Earth's subsurface is often isolated from phototrophic energy sources and characterized by
chemotrophic modes of life. These environments are often oligotrophic and limited in …

In the present study, produced water sample collected from the Indian crude oil reservoir is
used to enrich the bacterial communities. The impact of these enriched bacterial …

Biochar (BC) and rhamnolipid (RL) is used in bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons,
however, the combined effect of BC and RL in phytoremediation has not been studied until …

The role of biosurfactants producing hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria (HDB) on
biodegradation and bio-corrosion was evaluated. Biodegradation efficiency (BE) of …

This review evaluates the analytical methods used for detecting microbiologically influenced
corrosion (MIC), which is an aggressive microbiota-facilitated degradation of engineering …

This study aimed to characterize the biofilm microbial community that causes corrosion of
API 5LX carbon steel. API 5LX carbon steel coupons were incubated with raw produced …

Vacuum freeze-drying is a scientifically advanced method to prepare solid inoculants from
oil degrading bacterium. The introduction of oil-degrading microbes or bioaugmentation can …

The identification of natural fractures and the wells they connect is crucial for the
development of geological reservoirs because it may have an important impact on reservoir …

Localized corrosion has been a challenge for the integrity of mild steel pipelines, specifically
at operating conditions where a trace amount of H2S is present alongside CO2 at lower …
