Abstract

This study investigated microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of steel in offshore produced seawater at 60 °C. Microbial community analysis identified Desulfomicrobium and Methanosarcinaceae as the dominant microbial genera. Corrosion analyses revealed that Desulfomicrobium reduced sulfate to H₂S, while methanogens utilized carbon dioxide to produce methane, collectively driving MIC. After 14 days, corrosion weight loss reached 0.32 ± 0.023 mm y⁻¹ , with pitting depths up to 29 µm, indicating severe pitting corrosion. The corrosion products exhibited a double-layer structure, promoting microbial colonization and ion transport. These findings highlight the pivotal role of microbial activity in accelerating steel corrosion under real-world conditions.
