Case Study
Regional Microbial Community Clustering In Permian Pit Waters
OSPMICROCHECK.COM | INFO@OSPMICROCHECK.COM CASE STUDY REGIONAL MICROBIAL COMMUNITY CLUSTERING IN PERMIAN PIT WATERS background OSP partnered on a basin-wide survey of pit-stored waters from Operators in the Delaware and greater Permian basin to better understand the difficulties associated with the use of produced water from this region. Microbial-associated difficulties are often related to biogenic souring, or microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). Representative water samples were supplied and OSP was tasked with identifying the microbial communities present in these samples using both LifeCheck DNA qPCR and 16S Sequencing technologies. objective The objective of this study was to assess pit water collected from various operators in the greater Permian basin for the pr
