Addressing the Challenges of the Midstream Oil and Gas Sector The midstream sector is the vital link between the exploration and production of oil and gas and the delivery of refined products to market. It involves the transportation, storage, and distribution of crude oil, natural gas, and their derivatives, connecting upstream extraction with downstream refining.…
Microbes in Action Welcome to the captivating world of microbes! If you’re new to the subject or simply curious to learn more, buckle up as we discuss these tiny yet powerful organisms. What Are Microbes? Microbes, also known as microorganisms, are living organisms too small to be seen with the naked eye. They come in…
QuantArray®-MIC: A Valuable Tool for Corrosion Management In the world of industrial processes, microorganisms wield a powerful influence, often leading to challenges like microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) and oilfield souring. MIC impacts nearly all industries and can exact a severe toll in terms of loss of production, O&M costs, equipment deterioration and potentially the health,…

Discovery and Assay Development of the micH Gene, a Novel MIC Biomarker Despite the long-standing association between methanogens and microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of oil and gas pipelines, neither the type nor abundance of the detected methanogens was correlated with the perceived severity of corrosion. Recent combined efforts have resulted in the discovery and assay…
We were honored that MI’s Dora Taggart was invited to be among the expert keynote lecturers at the recent NACE Kuwait Corrosion Conference.
