OSPMICROCHECK.COM | [email protected] CASE STUDY MICROBIOLOGICALLY INFLUENCED CORROSION RISK ASSESSMENT OF FRAC PONDS background An Operator was experiencing sporadic corrosion issues in their North and South frac pond transfer lines. Prior to OSP’s assessment, the cause of these corrosion issues had not yet been determined. objective To determine potential sources for corrosion, OSP collected two samples, one from each pond (North and South), for complete water analysis (CWA) and LifeCheck DNA 16S Sequencing. This assessment focused on threatening microbes and water conditions that could lead to microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). LifeCheck DNA 16S Sequencing • The North Pond has a large population (31.3%) of sulfide producing microbes dominated by Halanaerobium (
