51317--9551-Identification of Compounds that Effectively Block Microbial H2S Production

Picture for Identification of Compounds that Effectively Block Microbial H2S Production
Available for download

We have identified a class of inhibitory molecules that abrogate sulfidogenesis in oilfield produced fluids. Bottle tests and laboratory-scale bioreactors to mimic field conditions, found that very low doses of two versions of this class of compounds were found to effectively prevent H2S generation.

Microbial reduction of sulfur compounds is a concern in many industries due to the toxicity and corrosivity of the chief metabolic waste product hydrogen sulfide (H2S). In the oil and gas industry production of H2S by microbes within the petroleum reservoir is extremely detrimental to production and often leads to complete shut-in of wells and entire assets due to these concerns. Hundreds of different genera of bacteria and archaea are capable of generating H2S from an array of sulfur-containing compounds although the key enzymes involved are relatively well conserved. We have identified a class of inhibitory molecules that abrogate sulfidogenesis by numerous diverse microbial populations found within oilfield produced fluids. Using bottle tests and laboratory-scale bioreactors designed to more closely mimic field conditions very low doses of two different versions of this class of compounds were found to effectively prevent H2S generation and decrease the number of sulfide-producing microbes from the population. By decreasing the amount of H2S generated these compounds are able to decrease the levels of microbiologically influenced corrosion normally associated with sulfidogenic populations of microbes.

Key words: Hydrogen sulfide, H2S, bacteria, inhibitor, MIC, reservoir souring

An operator in North America discovered an internal corrosion failure in a wet gas system directly below the point of injection of a water-soluble corrosion inhibitor (CI). Tests using low shear rotating cage autoclaves and a dual autoclave system were performed as a corrosion screening method.

Vapor corrosion inhibitor (VCI) as an alternative for corrosion control of underside tank bottom. A specified volume of VCI was applied through a leak detector port 24-inch (60.96 cm) from the edge of the tank bottom plate, towards the center.  As expected, the initial corrosion rates at the different locations differ and tend to decrease with time.
