This good practice guideline focuses on the selection, applicability, and use of molecular microbiological methods (MMM) in the oil and gas (O&G) industry. MMM that are currently in use by the O&G industry, as well as those that are in the development stages, are described in this guideline. While the availability and use of MMM in the O&G industry has increased, the application and utilization of the data produced are areas where operators often have questions. The significance of results from MMM are different than those from traditional culture methods and differ between molecular methods. O&G industry end-users are seeking guidance on the strengths and limitations of MMM, where they should be applied and how the results should be analysed in a manner that supports decision making for asset management. Thus, the development of a guideline on the application of MMM in the upstream and downstream O&G industry is timely.
