Microbial enhanced oil recovery: interfacial tension and biosurfactant-bacteria growth
Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology, 2019 Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is a method that utilises bacteria or bioproducts to increase oil recovery at the tertiary stage. Clostridium sp. produces biosurfactant that alters rock–fluid properties and increases oil detachment.
