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,

Development and Research Status of Heavy Oil Enhanced Oil Recovery

Geofluids, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Heavy oil is an important part of petroleum hydrocarbon energy. With the depletion of conventional crude oil reserves, successful and efficient exploitation of heavy oil resources is becoming increasingly important. This article focuses on the nine relatively mature heavy oil development technologies from the perspectives of the level of understanding ...

A tuffaceous volcaniclastic turbidite bed of Early Miocene age in the Temburong Formation of Labuan, North‐West Borneo and its implications for the Proto‐South China Sea subduction in the Burdigalian

The Depositional Record, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 111-146, February 2021., 2021
A smectite bed in a sequence of distal, deep water turbidites and marine mudstones of the Temburong Formation on the island of Labuan, Sabah, North‐West Borneo is interpreted as an altered, re‐sedimented pyroclastic tuff which is geochemically of dacite‐rhyolite composition.

Microbial biosurfactant research: time to improve the rigour in the reporting of synthesis, functional characterization and process development

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 14, Issue 1, Page 147-170, January 2021., 2021
The demand for microbially produced surface‐active compounds for use in industrial processes and products is increasing. As such there has been a comparable increase in the number of publications relating to the characterisation of novel surface‐active compounds; novel producers of already characterised surface‐active compounds and production processes

A Review on Biosurfactant Applications in the Petroleum Industry

International Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
The inadequacy of worldwide fossil fuel resources, combined with increasing energy demands, encourages global attention to either using alternative energy resources or improving the recovery factor and produce larger quantities from present reservoirs.

Selected Indonesian Microbes Potentials For MEOR

SPE Asia Pacific Improved Oil Recovery Conference, 1999
Abstract Oil recovery can be increased through the activities of microbes in a process known as Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR). MEOR technology has been implemented in a number of oil producing companies and has proven to have good prospect, environmental friendly and low cost.

Biological Effectiveness of Constructed Consortia in MEOR

Journal of Environmental Management and Tourism, 2020
Kazakhstan is one of the producers of oil and gas in the world. Also, Kazakhstan is a country which uses traditional methods of oil development. These methods are not economically beneficial in the development of oil since two-thirds of the oil remains in the ground. In this regard, 16 indigenous microorganisms were studied from the production water of
