Biodeterioration of metals, fluids or gases, or processes such as flow, filtration and separation, is brought about by the presence and activity of microorganisms and can cause a wide range of financially costly issues if left unimpeded. Therefore, applying microbial monitoring to analyse the behaviour of microorganisms is essential to maintaining oil and gas infrastructure and protecting health, safety and environmental standards.

Failing to implement adequate microbial monitoring could result in unseen developments: complications such as reservoir souring, emulsion formation and blockages in fuel systems, all of which may be difficult to cost-effectively control if discovered too late. This leaves limited options for emergency remedial action and may necessitate production shutdown, material replacement and in some cases abandonment.

Researching and delivering microbial monitoring solutions to the energy industry for over five decades has led to the development of our unique in-house web-based management tool, BugTracker. As an effective integrated monitoring system, BugTracker is designed to reduce the risk of asset failure, safeguard the health of personnel and optimise expenditure.

Providing continuous microbial control utilising state of the art microbiological techniques, BugTracker allows you to predict the likelihood of problems developing and address existing damage before it becomes unmanageable. Its early-warning system alerts you to deviation from agreed key performance indicators, while a customised process overview highlights developing issues, allowing for timely remedial action.

Direct access to the BugTracker online portal enables you to track samples, trend data and ensure that important information, reports and records are stored and readily available in one central location.

As a leading industry partner, we remain at the forefront of innovative microbial monitoring technologies and Total Quality Assurance solutions. Get in touch to see how this can benefit your business and operation.
