Microbial enhanced oil recovery
, 2015 Oil is a crucial source of energy and one of the main factors driving the world’s economy. Currently, oil production technologies recover only about 40% of the oil originally present in the reservoirs. As the price of petroleum increases and petroleum reserves shrink, exploitation of oil resources in mature reservoirs is essential for meeting future ...

Prospects of microbial enhanced oil recovery: Mechanisms and environmental sustainability
Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments, 2022 The rise in petroleum demand may have aggravated recently as every industry heavily depends on petroleum as the primary energy source. Traditional oil recovery methods leave a large fraction of oil unrecovered in the inaccessible parts of reservoir ...

Simulation of Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery
International Oil Conference and Exhibition in Mexico, 2006Abstract Nowadays, the experts in biotechnology and oil engineering cooperate to improve the production of oil reservoirs. A large portion of the world energy consists of non-renewable fossilized fuels; the primitive methods in oil recovery just make 8 to 30 percent of oil reservoirs available.

Microbial Enhancement of Oil Recovery
Nature Biotechnology, 1983Microorganisms and microbial products can be used to recover oil from reservoirs. To be successful, the complexity of oil and the physical constraints in the reservoir must be taken into account. The three general approaches are: stimulation of the endogenous microbial population; injection of microorganisms with proven ability to perform well in situ;

Biosurfactants as microbial bioactive compounds in microbial enhanced oil recovery
Journal of Biotechnology, 2022Fossil fuels such as petroleum resources continue to be a significant fraction of the energy portfolio. Oil sludge or slops have become an unavoidable waste in the petroleum industries, and their improper disposal measures have led to environmental pollution.

Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR)
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2010Two-thirds of the oil ever found is still in the ground even after primary and secondary production. Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is one of the tertiary methods purported to increase oil recovery. Since 1946 more than 400 patents on MEOR have been issued, but none has gained acceptance by the oil industry.

Microbial enhancement of oil recovery
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1991After decades of patent applications and questionable projects, well documented field tests of microbial enhancement of oil recovery are now being reported. These are based on the use of bacteria as agents underground to control fluid flow through selective plugging of channels in the oil reservoir, to enhance the release of oil from waterflood ...

Novel approaches to microbial enhancement of oil recovery
Journal of Biotechnology, 2018Microbially enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) was shown to be feasible in a number of laboratory experiments and field trials. However, it has not been widely used in the oil industry because necessary conditions cannot always be easily established in an oil reservoir. Novel approaches to MEOR, which are based on newly discovered biosurfactant-mediated MEOR-
