A major corrosion threat in hydrocarbon production which continues to pose operational challenges and remains somewhat unimpeded is that caused by microbial activities. There is a perception that when the origin of damage is unclear, it is invariably associated with either microbiologically induced/influenced corrosion (MIC) or underdeposit corrosion (UDC). In both cases, severity of attack is high, understanding is limited, and mitigation methods are subject to discussion.
