Title: AddFRAC Services Prevents MIC Failures in a Barnett Shale Gas Gathering System

A North Texas Barnett Shale operator was experiencing a high number of microbially induced corrosion (MIC) failures in their gathering system flowlines and biogenic hydrogen sulfide gas production in their produced water storage tanks. The Baker Petrolite AddFRAC measurement and control services team worked with the operator to identify and mitigate the source of the bacterial contamination. Testing showed that Baker Petrolite X-CIDE™ 575 microbiocide would provide the most cost-effective treatment. A two-phase treatment program was implemented to mitigate the bacterial contamination in the fracturing fluids: (1) Frac tank cleaning program, and (2) Frac tank microbiocide treatment program.
