Microbial Solutions For the Oil & Gas Industry.
About OSP Microcheck
Where there is water, there are microbes — from drilling mud, stimulation fluids, produced water, proppant, finished fuels, in the reservoir and in pipelines — and if left untreated, they can cause fouling, souring, corrosion and create costly setbacks.
For 30 years, OSP has built a reputation as the go-to microbial expert specializing in microbial identification, surveillance and mitigation.
We support clients in understanding their microbial environment so they can protect their assets and prevent future challenges.
OSP was founded in 1988 by Calgary-based entrepreneur Michael McLennan, who saw a need for improved microbial control in the oil and gas industry. In 2011, OSP acquired US-based Telomer Corporation, a premier distributor of intermediates for water treating chemicals including scale and corrosion inhibitors, iron dispersants and biocides. In 2014, OSP Microcheck and Telomer Corporation were rebranded as OSP to reflect our commitment to provide proven chemical solutions to our clients across North America.
Operating in Calgary and Houston, OSP’s high-level technical expertise provides customers with unparalleled access to application experience, support and product recommendations for microbial identification and control.

TARGET THE PROBLEM
- Do microbes build “biocide resistance?
- How do I know which biocide is best for my application?
- Does my biocide need to be registered?
- Is one biocide enough?
- How do I know if my biocide is working?
- Is a more concentrated/solid add biocide more economical?
- How often should I apply biocide?
- I don’t have water in my system. Why am I still experiencing microbial issues (Souring/MIC)?
