Note that this is part one of a two-part series with LANXESS and Luminultra. The second webinar will be Wednesday, June 24 at 11am Central.
This application-focused webinar examines microbial risk through the lens of hydraulic fracturing—following the journey from source water to the reservoir and highlighting why downhole protection is just as critical as topside control.
Framed around the dual pillars of measurement and mitigation, the session reinforces that anything injected into the reservoir can carry microbial risk, with consequences including souring, corrosion, and biofouling. Effective control requires a coordinated approach: defining clear KPIs for success, selecting fit-for-purpose biocides, and deploying the right diagnostic tools—from culture media and ATP to qPCR and NGS—to guide decisions across the full well lifecycle.
A detailed operational audit of a hydraulic fracturing program will be used as a case study to illustrate how microbial risks are introduced, identified, and addressed in practice. The session concludes by tying audit insights back to long-term reservoir objectives, and in the process examines the long-term performance of some preservative biocide strategies. Overall, this webinar will emphasize a simple reality: you are only as clean as your dirtiest step.
