Rawwater Engineering Company Ltd / Rawwater Scientists Publish Book Chapter

Matt Streets and Leanne Walker have recently coauthored a booked chapter on microbiological oilfield reservoir souring.

This new publication, ‘Microbial Bioinformatics in the Oil and Gas Industry – Applications to Reservoirs and Processes’, provides an overview to novel applications of the rapidly evolving field of bioinformatics to the energy sector.

Poignantly, this work was created as the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the world and ravaged the oil and gas industry to where on April 20, 2020, the price for a barrel of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was an unprecedented negative $37. However, this impact paled in comparison to the loss of millions of lives and exponentially more livelihoods.

This book is a testament to the leading scientists, academics and experts from the oil and gas industry that were able to navigate the hardships of the pandemic to deliver 12 peer-reviewed chapters with contributors sharing their field experiences and research findings.

In Chapter 10 of the publication, 'microbial Reservoir souring: Communities Relating to the initiation, Propagation, and Remediation of Souring', Leanne and Matt draws on Rawwater’s significant expertise in forecasting microbial reservoir souring. It considers how the physical conditions in downhole formations during water injection impact the diversity of downhole microflora and the subsequent generation of hydrogen sulfide.
