Global Oil and Gas MIC Testing Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Oil and Gas MIC Testing market size is expected to reach $ 1291 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 11.0% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
The oil and gas pipeline corrosion protection system is the basic guarantee to ensure the long-term safe operation of the pipeline. With the strengthening of the country's supervision on the safety of oil and gas pipelines, oil and gas pipeline corrosion detection has become an important link and technical means for pipeline safety protection. Corrosion runs through the entire life cycle of steel pipelines and is one of the main causes of oil and gas pipeline failure accidents. Regularly carry out corrosion inspections on pipelines, timely and accurately discover corrosion defects, and take corresponding control, maintenance, and replacement measures, which can effectively reduce the probability of corrosion accidents. MIC testing can effectively detect oil and gas pipeline problems and avoid greater losses.
Organisms may be " micro" in size, but their impact on the oil and gas (O&G) industry is not.
Microbial organisms are abundant in O&G frameworks such as piping networks, containers, reservoirs and other infrastructure. Corrosion caused by the presence of these microorganisms on the surface of materials is known as Microbial Corrosion (MIC) or simply Microbial Corrosion. MICs are estimated to account for 30% of all corrosion-related costs in the O&G industry.
The activity of archaea, bacteria, and fungi in colonies forms biofilms on material surfaces, leading to corrosion of metallic and non-metallic surfaces. These surfaces are exposed to seawater, soil, distilled water, fresh water, crude oil, process chemicals and sewage. Their exposure to microorganisms accelerates the corrosion of alloys and metals.
Corrosion usually occurs in the presence of a mixture of multiple microorganisms. Depending on the environment, these microorganisms typically include metal-oxidizing bacteria, acidogenic bacteria (APB), sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), metal-reducing bacteria (MRB), and methanogens. MIC can cause crevice, pitting, galvanic corrosion, and sometimes dealloying of oil and gas metal pipelines. Among them, SRB is the most common and problematic type of bacteria in oil and gas systems.
Regarding the protection and control of microbial corrosion, the United States is still in a relatively leading position. The largest global Oil and Gas MIC Testing market area is North America, it takes 35% of the market size.
From a technical point of view, both NGS and qPCR belong to the category of molecular technology. NGS is an emerging technology and one of the trends in future development.
Since SRB, APB and other bacterial species are the key bacterial subgroups that cause corrosion in the oil and gas industry, most companies have layouts in the field of specific microbial subgroups MIC. The specific microbial subgroups MIC is the largest application for Oil and Gas MIC Testing.
