25、cations is outside the scope of this report. Types and Classes of Bacteria in Oil and Gas Field Systems Identification and naming (taxonomy) of bacteria is an exhaustive science. To date, more than 5,000 species of bacteria have been identified, isolated, and named.1,2In virtually all oilfield syste

26、ms, multiple strains of bacteria coexist in symbiotic relationships.3-6Classification of each strain of bacteria in a population is further complicated by the fact that no single test can be used to quantify all types of bacteria that might be present in oilfield populations. Different types of grow

27、th media, some with nonstandard formulations, are normally used to begin to quantify the numbers and types of bacteria in a single population. For ease of discussion, microbiologists often group bacteria according to the organisms tolerance of oxygen, shape, optimum growth temperature, or metabolism

28、. Bacteria that use oxygen in their metabolism are termed strict or obligate aerobic bacteria. In contrast, obligate anaerobic bacteria do not grow in the presence of oxygen. Facultative anaerobes function either in the presence or absence of oxygen, and microaerophiles use oxygen, but prefer low le

29、vels. It is common to find bacteria with different oxygen requirements coexisting in the same system and in the same deposits. In highly oxygenated systems, for example, anaerobic bacteria often survive in tiny crevices in pipe surfaces that are out of the direct flow of the oxygenated water. Furthe

30、rmore, as populations of aerobic bacteria deposit on a system surface, oxygen diffusion to the surface is suppressed. This creates a reduced-oxygen environment in which microaerophiles and anaerobes can thrive, shielded from the oxygen in the system by the aerobic bacteria.1,2Microbiologists typical

31、ly group bacteria according to the shape of the bacteriums cell body (morphology). Bacteria are shaped as rods (bacillus), curved rods (vibrio), corkscrew curved rods (spirillum), and spheres (coccus). Shape alone, however, is not normally a good indicator of a bacterial type because a single strain

32、 of bacteria can take on different shapes depending on growth conditions, and many different species may have similar morphologies. A third way that bacteria are grouped is by the optimum temperature at which they grow. Thermophilic bacteria have maximum growth rates at temperatures above 50C (122F)

33、. Mesophiles grow best in the middle temperature range of 20 to 37C (68 to 99F). Other organisms called psychrophiles only grow well near freezing temperatures of 4 to 10C (39 to 50F). While each species of bacteria grows at an optimum temperature, it can also adapt and grow at temperatures outside

34、the ranges listed above. In fact, most species have the capacity to grow over a 40C (72F) range of temperatures. System parameters such as the availability of nutrients, pH, salinity, and pressure can also alter the optimum growth temperature for a particular strain of bacteria. Finally, bacteria ar

35、e often grouped according to the nutrients that the organism uses for growth and reproduction, the biochemical pathways where the organism obtains energy, or the end-product chemicals that the organism eliminates. Examples of this classification method are sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), acid-produ

36、cing bacteria (APB), iron-oxidizing bacteria, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB), and manganese-fixing bacteria. If bacteria are identified, they are typically given a genus and species name.7-10These names occur together as two words, the first referring to the genus and the second to the species. As

37、an example, Desulfovibrio desulfuricans is a specific name of one type of SRB. Often, names of bacteria are intended to be descriptive of the main characteristic of the organism. Thus, the Desulfovibrio desulfuricans is a bacterium that is in the shape of a curved rod that acts to remove sulfate by

38、reduction to sulfide. Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria SRB are one of the most common and problematic type of bacteria in oil and gas field systems.11-16Although strictly anaerobic, SRB can persist and survive in systems containing dissolved oxygen.17Typically, they are found in quiescent water in dead leg

39、s of pipes, ratholes of wells, and under deposits of scale and other bacteria. They are also found as free-floating (planktonic) bacteria in turbulent waters. SRB tolerate a wide pH range of 5 to 9.5, but some oilfield brines reportedly are too saline to be conducive to active growth.18Most strains

40、of SRB grow best at temperatures between 25 and 35C (77 and 95F), but a few thermophilic strains function at temperatures higher than 60C (140F).4,19,20Desulfovibrio, Desulfobacter, and Desulfotomaculum are three common genera of SRB. Other genera have also been identified.17While SRB often differ i

41、n appearance or in the substances they metabolize, they all oxidize organic compounds to organic acids or CO2by reducing sulfate ions to sulfide ions through anaerobic respiration. In the absence of sulfate ions, SRB can also respire through reduction of sulfite and other sulfur-containing ions. Sul

42、fide ions that are produced during the respiration process can react with dissolved iron NACE International 5 to produce black deposits of iron sulfide, or with hydrogen ions to form poisonous hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The presence of either iron sulfide or H2S in field systems causes operational prob

43、lems (see section on Problems Caused by Oil and Gas Field Bacteria). When steel corrodes, a layer of atomic hydrogen builds up on the cathodic surface. If the hydrogen is not removed, it polarizes the surface and causes the corrosion rate to decrease. Using hydrogen in their anaerobic respiration pr

44、ocess, SRB remove the atomic hydrogen from the surface, causing the cathodic surface to depolarize and increasing the rate of corrosion.1,21-23As a result, pit formation is accelerated. This corrosion process has been termed microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) and is the subject of many exc

45、ellent reviews (see annotated bibliography for further information). Iron-Oxidizing Bacteria Iron-oxidizing bacteria are also known as iron-depositing bacteria and iron-related bacteria (IRB). These microaerobic bacteria belong to one of the genera Gallionella, Siderocapsa, Sphaerotilus, Crenothrix,

46、 Leptothrix, or Clonothrix. Iron-oxidizing bacteria are filamentous bacteria, usually found in hemispherical mounds, termed tubercles, over pits on steel surfaces.1,21The presence of rust-colored water and yellow-orange slime deposits usually suggest the presence of oxygen or oxidizing chemicals; ho

47、wever, these symptoms are sometimes caused by iron-oxidizing bacteria. In oilfield systems, iron-oxidizing bacteria are reportedly found in open ponds, supply wells, filters, lines, equipment, and in injection wells.24Iron-oxidizing bacteria derive their name from the fact that they respire by oxidi

48、zing iron(II) to iron(III). Many of these organisms can also derive energy by oxidizing manganese(II) ions to manganese(III) ions. In oilfield brines, the iron(III) forms ferric hydroxide and ferric chloride that accumulate in the tubercles (see Figure 1). In addition to being aggressively corrosive

49、 to austenitic stainless steel (SS) as well as carbon steel (CS), the ferric chloride deposits on the tubercle and establishes an anaerobic environment in which SRB can thrive.
