The role of organic acid metabolites in geo-energy pipeline corrosion in a sulfate reducing bacteria environment

Integrating the root cause analysis to machine learning interpretation for predicting future failure

“…It is possible to note that offshore pipeline's inherent factors which induce corrosion, including the uncontrolled amount of sulphate-reducing bacteria [ 5 ], carbon dioxide [ 6 ], hydrogen sulfide gas [ 7 ], sand, and the deterioration of coating due to contamination with seawater [ 8 ]. Most importantly, CO 2 (carbon dioxide) corrosion has been considered a common issue in the industry and is propagated in pipelines due to condensation of the water vapour, allowing H 2 S (hydrogen sulfide) and CO 2 to dissolve.…”
