Pros of Using HOCL, NSC and Surfactant as a Biocide in Oil & Gas
Bacteria growth results in:
• H2S issues, biofilm formation & associated corrosion, & safety issues• Reservoir souring, fouling & formation damage• Catastrophic failure of wellbores & production facilities• Water disposal & water flood system corrosion• Surface pipeline, process equipment, & storage tank corrosion• Increase downstream capital costs for H2S treatment facilities & sour crude refineries• Increase system downtime resulting in loss of production and increase of maintenance costs
