Independent Corrosion Laboratory and Supplier specializing in microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), H2S, CO2 corrosion plus black powder, pipe and solids analysis for the oil and natural gas sector.
MiC Corrosion Tek services all phases of the oil and gas sector; including production, pipelines, transportation, offshore, storage and refining . It is estimated that MIC corrosion is responsible for 30-50% of all serious pitting-type corrosion that occurs in the industry. Oil and gas spends an estimated 10 billion USD per year to repair and deter corrosion. Corrosion inhibitor spending alone accounts for 1.2 billion USD annually in The United States alone.
Microbiolgically influenced corrosion (MIC) , and acid gas account for the majority of internal corrosion problems in oil and gas. Independent analysis is vital to receive an objective opinion on these expensive corrosive processes. Your assets are at risk, as well as health and safety issues. Most companies offer analysis as a way to seed the need for their mitigation products and corrosion abatement. We understand that most companies that offer such analysis do so in an honest manner; but the thought of selling mitigation products is always present in their thought process. MIC Corrosion Tek does not offer mitigation products and is completely objective in the results of testing. We do offer the following services:
1. Analysis of liquids (water and oil) , pipe samples (metal samples in general), and solids analysis (black powder, pig run solids, etc.) for microbiologically influenced corrosion and acid gas (H2S & CO2) analysis.
2. Patent Pending in-situ MIC testing, MIC-Pig, apparatus for inline (pipeline) sampling of MIC corrosion bacteria.
3. Objective audit report on current testing, monitoring, mitigation and abatement programs, with information already available to you.
4. Corrosion Inhibitors from downhole to final sales.
5. Onsite audits and sample collection for laboratory testing.
6. Consultation on designing a corrosion mitigation and abatement plan and list of companies which provide such services.
7. Consulting on engineering, designing plants and pipelines to mitigate corrosion before the construction process begins.
8. Locating corrosion service providers in your area. Competitive analysis.
9. Product, Services and Consultation offered within North America and Internationally.
10. Consultation on corrosion problems for all industries plus oil & gas.
11. Seminars for your group on MIC corrosion.
11. Litigation support.
Regulatory and professional organisations such as NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) the API (American Petroleum Institute) and OPS (Office of Pipeline Safety) recommend, or require; internal inspection, analysis, monitoring, mitigation and abatement of corrosion in the infrastructure of oil and gas operations.
