Simulation-Based Optimization of Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery with a Model Integrating Temperature, Pressure, and Salinity Effects

Energies, 2021
The microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) method is an eco-friendly and economical alternative technology. The technology involves a variety of uncertainties, and its success depends on controlling microbial growth and metabolism. Though a few numerical

Reflections from COVID-19 Pandemic: Contact Diary for Assessing Social Contact Patterns in Nepal

Journal of Nepal Health Research Council, 2020
Management of COVID-19 in Nepal will certainly benefit from the experiences of other countries. However, they are less likely to be suitable for Nepal both in terms of context and resource availability.

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.

Top‐down enrichment of oil field microbiomes to limit souring and control oil composition during extraction operations

AIChE Journal, Volume 68, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Microbial processes sour oil, corrode equipment, and degrade hydrocarbons at an annual global cost to the oil and gas industry of nearly $2 billion. However, top‐down control of these microbial processes can reduce their damage and enhance oil recovery.

Study on the application potential of lipopeptide fermentation broth in oil recovery

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 10, Issue 7, Page 2065-2075, July 2022., 2022
In this paper, the performance of lipopeptide fermentation liquid was studied, and xanthan gum was innovatively used to give full play to the role of lippeptide, and the emulsification mechanism of lipopeptide fermentation liquid was studied. Abstract Microbial flooding is a new enhanced‐oil‐recovery technology for the petroleum industry. In this study,
