3340 Guidelines for the management of microbiologically influenced corrosion in oil and gas production

Overview:

This second edition EI 3340 Guidelines for the management of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in oil and gas production has been developed with corrosion engineering staff on operational oil and gas production facilities in mind, with the intention of aiding good practice throughout the industry.

Consequently, a working knowledge of corrosion science and technology has been assumed. No such prior knowledge of microbiological matters, however, has been expected. Instead, the intention has been to present salient microbiological information in a way that aids understanding rather than confuses by using unexplained microbiological terminology.
