Sulfur speciation in soured reservoirs: chemical equilibrium and kinetics

Abstract Reservoir souring is a widespread phenomenon in reservoirs undergoing seawater injection. Sulfate in the injected seawater promotes the growth of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and archaea-generating hydrogen sulfide. However, as the reservoir fluid flows from injection well to topside fac...
