OSP Biocide Selection Guide

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT AND
OPTIMIZE OPERATIONS BY CHOOSING

THE RIGHT BIOCIDE AT THE RIGHT TIME

SUPPORT PROGRAM SUCCESS & CONTINUITY OF OPERATIONS

Where there is water, there are microbes — from drilling mud, stimulation fluids, produced water, proppant, finished fuels, in the reservoir and in pipelines — and if left untreated, they can cause fouling, souring, corrosion and create costly setbacks.

For 30 years, OSP has built a reputation as the go-to microbial expert specializing in microbial identification, surveillance and mitigation.

We support clients in understanding their microbial environment so they can protect their assets and prevent future challenges.

Effective operations, asset longevity and equipment integrity rely on proper chemical control programs that use biocides — chemical substances applied in oil and gas systems — to kill, inhibit or control microbial communities.

If improperly monitored or managed, microbes can lead to severe corrosion, souring, product degradation, biofouling — and costly disruptions. Some biocide applications are preventative in nature, while others are meant to manage a microbial activity long term.

Choosing the right biocide at the right time for your unique application is key in ensuring program success and smooth operations.
