Molecular analysis of microbial community structures in Nigerian oil production and processing facilities in order to access souring corrosion and methanogenesis
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Microbial communities associated with corrosion in samples from Nigeria facilities were examined. The SRB, heterotrophic nitrate reducing bacteria activities and SRB and acid producing bacteria counts were higher in Escravos than those in Meren. The corrosion rates were also higher in the Escravos samples possessing higher capacity in methane production. Pyrosequencing surveys indicate that Escravos samples had high fractions of potential hydrocarbon degrading bacteria and methanogenic archaea (mainly Methanosaeta and Methanococcus). Microbial activities at Meren were dominated by bacteria (Marinobacterium, Halomonas, Pseudomonas and Kosmotoga spp.). The research was the first to analyze microbial community structures in the oil facilities investigated.
