MEOR From Lab to Field

Proceedings of SPE Improved Oil Recovery Symposium, 2010
Abstract Progression of Microbial EOR (MEOR) technology from the laboratory towards field trial is described. An overview is provided of evaluation steps and field trial risk management through laboratory testing and numerical simulation, together with assessment of operational factors which could impact a long-duration field trial.

Recent Advance of Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) in China

Geofluids, 2019
Compared with other enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques like gas flooding, chemical flooding, and thermal production, the prominent advantages of microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) include environment-friendliness and lowest cost.

Nutrient Stimulation of Indigenous Microorganisms for Oil-in-Water Emulsion in a Medium Temperature Petroleum Reservoir with Ca2+-Rich Brine

Geofluids, 2021
One of the challenges indigenous microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is facing is the high percentage of divalent ions, which obstruct the growth and metabolism of microorganisms and destabilize the oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion.

New microorganisms and processes for MEOR. Final report [PDF]

, 1993
The study of new microorganisms and processes for MEOR has been successful in several key aspects. We have been successful in isolating and characterizing sulfate reducing bacteria from oil field waters which can use the volatile fatty acids found in these waters.

Mechanism and environmental effects on MEOR induced by the alpha process [PDF]

, 1993
This project was an interdisciplinary investigation of the enhanced oil recovery effects of a commercial microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) system. The purpose was to investigate in parallel laboratory and field studies the response of a portion of the Shannon Sandstone reservoir to two single-well treatments with a commercial MEOR system, to ...

Laboratory Studies of MEOR in Micromodel as a Fractured System

Eastern Regional Meeting, 2007
Abstract Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is receiving renewed interest worldwide in recent years as a viable method while not damaging the reservoir is proven to be remarkably effective, however to some extent costly. This method is based on microorganisms’ activities to reduce residual oil of reservoirs, which is dependent on ...

Evaluation of the sensory properties of thickened and protein‐enhanced ice cream using check‐all‐that‐apply and temporal check‐all‐that‐apply

Journal of Texture Studies, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 615-625, October 2023., 2023
Six different thickened ice formulations (a control and with 6% [6WP], 8% [8WP], 10% [10WP], 12% [12WP], and 14% [14WP] added whey protein by volume) were evaluated using hedonic scales and check‐all‐that‐apply as well as temporal check‐all‐that‐apply.

Nature of the Paleo‐Pacific Subduction Along the East Asian Continental Margin in the Mesozoic: Insights From the Sedimentary Record of West Sarawak, Borneo

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 50, Issue 8, 28 April 2023., 2023
Abstract The Mesozoic subduction history of the Paleo‐Pacific plate below the East Asian margin remains contentious, in part because the southern part is poorly understood. To address this, we conducted a sediment provenance study to constrain Mesozoic subduction history below West Sarawak, Borneo.

Isolation and Characterization of Viscosity‐Reducing and Biosurfactant‐Producing Bacteria in Low‐Permeability Reservoir

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Microbialenhanced oil recovery has gained more attention in recent years due to its low cost and eco‐friendliness. However, studies on the application of this technique in the low‐permeability reservoirs are few. In this study, eight strains from the Ordos Basin low‐permeability reservoir that produce biosurfactant and reduce viscosity were identified.

Performance Evaluation of Bacterial Consortia from Low‐Permeability Reservoir in Ordos Basin

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
The combination of strains of different species and genera may enhance the effects of single bacteria, surpass the tolerance upper limit, and optimize the viscosity reduction and degradation. In this study, six strains were isolated in low permeability layers of the Ordos Basin and were combined to verify the effect of the consortium strains.
