Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion of Carbon Steel Beneath a Deposit in CO2-Saturated Formation Water Containing Desulfotomaculum nigrificans

The corrosion mechanism of carbon steel under deposit in the presence of sulfate reducing bacterium (SRB) Desulfotomaculum nigrificans was studied using surface analysis, weight loss and electrochemical measurements. Results showed that both the general corrosion and localized corrosion were conside...
