Hezbollah: enter the Arab Summer
This week Meor Alif examines Hezbollah and a Middle East changed by the Arab Spring. From its modest beginnings, Hezbollah has emerged as an eminent force in the region bolstered by Iran but this alliance faces a number of challenges. Hezbollah and Iran,

Bacteria in crude oil survived autoclaving and stimulated differentially by exogenous bacteria. [PDF]
Autoclaving of crude oil is often used to evaluate the hydrocarbon-degrading abilities of bacteria. This may be potentially useful for bioaugmentation and microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR). However, it is not entirely clear if "endogenous" bacteria (

Microbially Enhanced Oil Recovery by Alkylbenzene-Oxidizing Nitrate-Reducing Bacteria
Microbially enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) of heavy oil and bitumen is challenging because light hydrocarbons, which can feed resident microbial communities are present in low concentrations, if at all.

Optimization and characterization of biosurfactant produced by indigenous Brevibacillus borstelensis isolated from a low permeability reservoir for application in MEOR [PDF]
Biosurfactants are expected to be a key factor for microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR). In this study, we described the novel biosurfactant-producing strain Brevibacillus borstelensis YZ-2 isolated from a low permeability oil reservoir.

Microbes facilitate crude oil production in plateau oilfields
Crude oil production has been enhanced using microbial-enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) in many oilfields. After over six years of MEOR test and field application in high-salt environments and unconventional oil reservoirs of plateau oilfields, MEOR ...

Mineral-Targeted Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery
In the fluid (comprising oil and nutrient solution)–microbe–mineral ternary system of oil reservoirs, current microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) technology lacks investigation into the interactions between the latter two components and their ...

Denitrification Biokinetics: Towards Optimization for Industrial Applications
Denitrification is a microbial process that converts nitrate (NO3–) to N2 and can play an important role in industrial applications such as souring control and microbially enhanced oil recovery (MEOR).
