Project Overview

Supported the early-stage development of a chemical dosing program for offshore water injection wells. The project aimed to mitigate corrosion risks and improve long-term well integrity by evaluating biocide treatment strategies during planned and unplanned shut-in periods.

The Problem

Inspection data from pulled tubing revealed elevated corrosion in water injection wells, with localized pitting linked to extended shut-in periods. Stagnant conditions promoted microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), requiring a dosing strategy to reduce long-term integrity risk and extend asset life.

My Contributions

• Reviewed tubing inspection data to assess corrosion trends and likely failure mechanisms

• Researched MIC and potential mitigation approaches

• Coordinated with vendors to gather technical data, testing results, and safety information

• Worked with specialized contractors to evaluate biocide options based on performance, compatibility, operational fit, and cost

• Supported cost analysis and drafted initial dosing recommendations

• Identified next steps for implementation and ongoing performance monitoring

Final Outcome / Impact

• Established framework for a structured water injection dosing program

• Identified the most effective biocide option through comparative technical evaluation

• Provided comparative analysis to support informed chemical selection

• Delivered cost evaluation to guide operational planning

• Developed a clear implementation plan outlining product selection, dosing criteria, and ongoing performance monitoring

This project strengthened asset integrity planning and laid the groundwork for proactive corrosion mitigation in offshore operations.
