MEOR—Altamont/Bluebell Field Project

SPE Rocky Mountain Regional Meeting, 1992
ABSTRACT This paper presents a field application of microbial treating in the Altamont/Bluebell Field. The project demonstrates the use of microorganisms to treat high wax content crude oil to improve field operations, reduce chemical use, conserve lease fuel, increase production and enhance oil recovery.

Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR)

Petroleum Science and Technology, 2007
Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) represents the use of microorganisms to extract the remaining oil from reservoirs. This technique has the potential to be cost-efficient in the extraction of oil remained trapped in capillary pores of the formation rock or in areas not swept by the classical or modern enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods, such as ...

Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR)

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2010
Two-thirds of the oil ever found is still in the ground even after primary and secondary production. Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is one of the tertiary methods purported to increase oil recovery. Since 1946 more than 400 patents on MEOR have been issued, but none has gained acceptance by the oil industry.

Laboratory Study on MEOR After Polymer Flooding

Proceedings of SPE International Improved Oil Recovery Conference in Asia Pacific, 2003
Abstract Great advancement has been achieved with polymer flooding after water flooding to enhance oil recovery in Daqing oil field in China. By using polymer flooding, the oil recovery can be improved 12%, and the total oil production is 10 million tons per year in Daqing oil field.

The Effect of In-Situ Pore Pressure on MEOR Processes

Proceedings of SPE/DOE Enhanced Oil Recovery Symposium, 1992
ABSTRACT Most laboratory work in MEOR, both in screening and in development, is performed under in situ temperatures and in brines similar to those of the target reservoir. However, the effect of in situ pore pressures in such work is normally ignored.

Comparative study of biosurfactant producing bacteria in MEOR applications

Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2010
Abstract In this work, biosurfactant production by Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Bacillus cereus has been compared. These microorganisms were isolated from agricultural and oil polluted area of Iran. Maximum biosurfactant production reached to about 1.6 g/l and liquid surface tension decreased from 72 to 25 mN/m using B.

Introduction to the Fourth International MEOR Conference

1993
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the fourth international Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) conference. For a number of years, MEOR research has been supported by the Department of Energy (DOE) as a potential method of recovery from some of the most critical producing wells, those in danger of abandonment in the near future.
