Microbial methane production associated with carbon steel corrosion in a Nigerian oil field

Microbial methane production associated with carbon steel corrosion in a Nigerian oil field

Microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) in oil field pipeline systems can be attributed to many different types of hydrogenotrophic microorganisms including sulfate reducers, methanogens and acetogens. Samples from a low temperature oil reservoir in Nigeria were analyzed using DNA pyrotag sequencing....
