BRITOLY® BIO-OG Series

Advanced Microbial Control for the Oil & Gas Industry

Microorganisms are a silent but relentless threat to oil and gas production. Sulphate -Reducing Bacteria (SRB) generate corrosive H₂S, leading to reservoir souring, pipeline failure, and safety hazards. Acid-Producing Bacteria (APB) and general slime formers create biofilms that cause under-deposit corrosion, injectivity loss, and equipment damage.

The BRITOLY® BIO-OG series is a comprehensive portfolio of advanced biocides engineered to tackle these challenges head-on. Our formulations are developed from a deep understanding of oilfield microbiology and are optimized for performance, cost-effectiveness, and environmental compliance. From routine well treatment to combating severe biofilm infestations, we provide the targeted solution you need to protect your assets and ensure uninterrupted production.

The BRITOLY® BIO-OG Product Line

BRITOLY® BIO-OG 100: Cost-Effective Broad-Spectrum Biocide

• Description:

  BIO-OG 100 is a robust, synergistic blend of advanced biocides. This formulation is the industry workhorse, designed for reliable, cost-effective microbial control in a wide range of production systems. It provides a powerful one-two punch: rapid kill and effective biofilm penetration.

• Applications:

  • Routine batch treatment of produced water.

  • Microbial control in seawater and water injection systems.

  • Topside system maintenance where severe biofilm is not yet established.

• Superior Advantages:

  • Proven Cost-Efficiency: Delivers maximum performance per dollar, reducing overall treatment costs.

  • Rapid Action: Provides quick knock-down of planktonic (free-swimming) bacteria populations.

  • Synergistic Formula: The quaternary ammonium compound enhances the penetration and effectiveness of glutaraldehyde.

  • Reliable Performance: A field-proven chemistry for general microbial control.

BRITOLY® BIO-OG 200: High-Performance Sour System Biocide

• Description: BIO-OG 200 is a powerful blends, formulated for the most challenging environments, particularly sour systems with H₂S. it has the ability to target SRBs and dissolve corrosive iron sulphide (FeS) scales, while ensure broad-spectrum, rapid kill.

• Applications:

  • Sour oil and gas wells and flowlines.

  • Systems with significant iron sulphide deposition.

  • Bio-purging operations to clean heavily fouled pipelines.

  • Squeeze treatments for downhole microbial control.

• Superior Advantages:

  • Exceptional SRB Control: Specifically effective against sulphate- reducing bacteria, mitigating H₂S production.

  • FeS Dissolution: Uniquely helps remove iron sulphide scales, eliminating a primary habitat for bacteria.

  • Dual-Action Attack: Combines the scale-dissolving power of THPS with the rapid kill of glutaraldehyde.

  • Reservoir Souring Mitigation: A key tool for controlling biogenic reservoir souring.

BRITOLY® BIO-OG 300: Advanced Anti-Biofilm Biocide

• Description:

  BIO-OG 300 represents the cutting edge of microbial control technology. It goes beyond traditional kill mechanisms by integrating a specialised enzyme cocktail and biosurfactant with powerful biocides. This formula is engineered to physically dismantle and disperse resilient biofilms, exposing the protected bacteria for complete eradication.

• Applications:

  • Systems with established, resilient biofilms resistant to conventional biocides.

  • Critical pipelines and assets with a history of severe Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC).

  • Environments where preventing resistance is a priority.

• Superior Advantages:

  • Superior Biofilm Penetration: Enzymes degrade the biofilm matrix, allowing biocides to reach hidden cells.

  • Manages Resistance: A multi-mechanistic approach makes it extremely difficult for microbes to develop resistance.

  • Enhanced Efficacy: Achieves significantly higher log-reductions in sessile (biofilm) bacteria counts compared to conventional products.

  • Advanced Technology: Incorporates the latest research in enzymology and surface science.

BRITOLY® BIO-OG 400: Reservoir Souring Inhibitor

• Description:

  BIO-OG 400 is a non-traditional, proactive solution to reservoir souring. It is based on nitrate technology, which works by stimulating beneficial nitrate-reducing bacteria (NRB). These NRB outcompete SRB for nutrients and can produce nitrite, which is directly toxic to SRBs, preventing the generation of H₂S in the reservoir itself.

• Applications:

  • Continuous injection into water injection wells for proactive reservoir souring control.

  • Used in a synergistic treatment program with shock doses of BIO-OG 200 or 300.

• Superior Advantages:

  • Proactive Souring Prevention: Stops H₂S at the source, protecting the entire production stream.

  • Cost-Effective Long-Term Strategy: Often more economical than repeated high-dose biocide treatments.

  • Metabolic Inhibition: Uses the reservoir's own ecology to suppress harmful bacteria.

  • Field Proven: A widely accepted and successful technology for managing reservoir souring.
