This research is aimed to give an overview of the impact of bio-corrosion on carbon steel grade API 5L X-70 immersed in growth medium and exposed to SRB consortium. Simulation of anaerobic corrosion conditions was carried out in a laboratory for 28 days. Raw crude oil gathered from the Baram Delta O...
