Microbiological Corrosion In Oil & Gas Industry
2026-03-30 - 2026-03-31
Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) has been reported to influence many industry operations. it can accelerate most of corrosion, including uniform, pitting, crevice, galvanic, intergranular, and stress corrosion cracking.
The major microbial problem in the oil and gas industry is in storage tanks, transportation pipelines and other water networks, which can lead to loss of product quality, formation of sludge, and failure of pipeline network, and storage tanks. A fine film of water on the tank surfaces, or a few micro-litres in the fuel, is enough to allow growth of microorganisms, and cell metabolism, once begun, results in the production of biodegradable products and thus the cycle continues. Survival of microbial population on hydrocarbons even in the absence of oxygen is a severe threat to the hydrocarbon industry.
In order to address the problem of microbiological corrosion in a systematic manner, it is essential to understand the microbial contaminations and their effect on metallic corrosion w.r.t. the operating conditions and accordingly develop a robust treatment plan along with monitoring techniques.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Personnel engaged in oil & gas Technical, Operations, Maintenance and Inspection Team, Researchers, Academic Institutes, Business personnel of Corrosion Monitoring Equipment, Pipeline Operations and Maintenance Teams. Microbiologists and Biotechnologists. Water Treatment, Refinery, Internal / External Corrosion Engineers, Additives & Paint manufacturers.
FACULTY
The faculty includes professional experts from public sector organizations & other institutions (i.e., oil industries and reputed Research Organizations).
TOPICS TO BE COVERED

Oil Refineries
2026-03-30 - 2026-03-31
Failure is not an option. In high risk, high-value industries, such as oil and gas production, refining, nuclear and thermal power, aviation, shipping etc., corrosion failures have many repercussions: loss of money, loss of production, safety and environment damage. Best industry practices are implemented to avert or minimize corrosion failures. But failures still happen. Wise men say, “We should learn from others’ failures”. Failure is an opportunity to learn.
The proposed program covers Case Studies in Oil Refineries, describing the failures, analyses of such failures, and remedial actions. Failure investigation is an intricate exercise, mainly because of the variety in practices, operations and events. This program will not only teach participants the reasons for various failures, but will also enable understanding the methodology of failure analyses for appropriate corrective actions.
