Biocides are used in the offshore oil and gas industry to maximize production by protecting assets through the inhibition of microbial induced biofilm and corrosion. An oil and gas company needs to be very careful while using this chemical. It is used in small amounts to control the growth of bacteria and other harmful organisms in the wellbore.
