Short term corrosion monitoring of carbon steel by bio-competitive exclusion of thermophilic sulphate reducing bacteria and nitrate reducing bacteria

Recent interest has centred on the application of nitrate injection to control reservoir souring. In the present study, the impact of nitrate injection on the corrosion of ASTM A572-50 carbon steel was evaluated. The steel samples were exposed to corrosive production water (high chloride and sulphat...
