Objectives To prevent and control H2S efficiently,this study conducted structural analysis and functional prediction of the microbial community in the"water injection-oil extraction"system which is located in the Yangmijian block of Jingbian Oil Production Plant,and analyzed the key factors of sulfide generation.Methods The NovaSeq6000 high-throughput sequencing method was used to compare the differences in the microbial community structure of water samples from four stages:produced water,gathering and transportation,water treatment,and water injection.The FaPROTAX bacterial functional analysis method was used to predict the functions of these water samples.Results Firstly,the proportion of desulfurizing bacteria in sulfur-containing oil wells ranged from 16.7%to 43.0%,significantly higher than that in other stages,indicating that the anaerobic environment with suitable formation temperature is conducive to the growth and reproduction of sulfate-reducing bacteria(SRB),which is the main reason of hydrogen sulfide production.Secondly,in the water sample O.3.1 of the sulfur-containing well,the proportions of SRB and NRB in the bacterial community were 33.02%and 21.20%,respectively.However,the proportion of nitrate reduction function was more than 2.3 times higher than that of sulfate reduction,indicating that the presence of nitrate-reducing bacteria has a significant inhibitory effect on sulfate-reducing bacteria.Conclusions Lasting injection of water with nitrate mass concentration higher than 40 mg/L could significantly inhibit the growth of sulfate-reducing bacteria and reduce the production of hydrogen sulfide,thus ensuring the safety of on-site production.
