The case study demonstrates different approaches towards what went wrong and why on pressure safety valve susceptible to MIC growth. The Eocene Sub Centre-1 Shipping Pump discharge header connected pressure safety valve (01PSV172) reported leaking from the body and POD requested Asset Integrity Division to conduct Root Cause Analysis with recommendation.

Oil field operating company’s (1) flowline network in North and West Kuwait (NWK) has over 3000 wells connected through 6” carbon steel pipelines flowing from wellhead to the nearest Gathering Center (GC). Untreated wet crude is transported through the flowlines to GC’s directly or passing through the Remote Headers and Manifold (RHM) to GCs. In RHM, mixing of the wet crude takes place before it is sent to GC’s via transfer lines for further separation. The flowlines are laid aboveground except at road crossings where they are buried.
Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is a major concern in process industries, particularly in the Oil and Gas sector. It is estimated that 25-30% of corrosion related failures in pipelines and industrial equipment can be attributed to MIC. The cost of metallic corrosion has been estimated to range between 2-3% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in developed countries and MIC certainly accounts for a significant fraction of the total cost of corrosion amounting to billions of dollars due to unexpected shutdowns, equipment replacement, mitigation strategies, etc.
