  • REAL-TIME MONITORING OF MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION IN OILFIELD DRILLING FLUIDS AND CEMENT
    Publication number: 20230184109
    Abstract: A method for monitoring microbial levels in a wellbore fluid is provided. The method includes collecting a wellbore fluid sample, recovering ATP from the wellbore fluid sample, using the recovered ATP in an ATP-mediated oxidation of luciferin to oxyluciferin to yield photons, quantifying the photons, correlating the quantified photons to an ATP concentration, comparing the ATP concentration to predetermined action levels, and taking countermeasures when the ATP concentration exceeds the predetermined action levels.
