A Road Map For Innovation In Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) In The Gas Pipeline

A roadmap for innovation on microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in oil and gas pipelines
Available for download

A recent review provided an overview of current microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) research. It established that despite extensive study and numerous publications, fundamental questions relating to MIC remain unanswered and stress the lack of information associated with MIC recognition, prediction, and mitigation (Little et al., 2020). On the other hand, bibliometric analysis on the MIC of engineering systems conducted a knowledge gap analysis to focus research efforts and to develop a roadmap for MIC research (Hashemi et al., 2018).

This exploratory research focused on using patent data analysis to develop a technology roadmap for innovation on microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in the oil and gas pipelines to advance the current understanding of this phenomenon through the LENS patents database. 

Evolution in the number of patent documents (applications and grants) from 1990 to 2020 demonstrated that MIC in the oil and gas pipeline had been an area of continuous growth throughout the last 15 years. Since 2007 a remarkable increase in the trends of patent records started, reaching its highest value in 2013. In the retrieved set (1,891 records) the 63.4% corresponded to patent applications, and 36% granted patents. The legal status of patents indicated that 38.9% were related to active patents, 29.1% to pending patents, and 32% to discontinued records. Private corporations dominate as the most productive and influential sector in patent production. The top ten applicants on patent records were private companies, including Ecolab USA Inc (86), Dow Global Technologies (59), Du Pont (59), and from academia only Harvard College (41). The same trend was identified in the top ten owners in the sample, including Ecolab USA Inc (81), Dow Global Technologies LLC (51), Du Pont (41), and from academia just Harvard (24). The USA (1190), WIPO (451), and European patents (235) were the three leading jurisdictions in the data set.

Production of oil and gas is well known to cause potential corrosion issues due to the CO2 content in the well stream. Carbon steel is widely used for production facilities as e.g. flowlines and manifolds, however, aging of the reservoir increases the number of corrosive agents, such as e.g. CO2, which are known to cause high corrosion rates in carbon steel. Therefore, carbon steel piping is often being replaced with super duplex stainless steel due to its high strength, excellent toughness and good corrosion resistance. Replacing carbon steel with super duplex has been conducted on several mature offshore oilfields in the European North Sea region.

The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the current advancements of monitoring the integrity level of the processing facilities using means of Integrity Operating Window (IOW) program. In our company, integrity and material & corrosion departments across the upstream and downstream businesses successfully implemented a well oriented and constructive IOW programs to manage the corrosion risks and monitor the integrity level of the capital assets and proactively assess the situation to prevent loss of primary containment. The technology that sets behind this success is the digitalized approach that gathers information from process, operations, lab services and inspection programs and converts them all into a high-level real-time tracking system that asses the current status of corrosion threats and integrity level.
