Possible Use of Biosurfactant Produced by Microbial Consortium from Contaminated Soil for Microbially Enhanced Oil Recovery [PDF]
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2017 Despite recent efforts to introduce renewable energy sources to the market, the world still relies heavily on crude oil and petroleum-based products. It is estimated that over two-thirds of the crude in an oil reservoir remains untouched.

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 ...

Microbial Mineralization of Montmorillonite in Low-Permeability Oil Reservoirs for Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2018 Microbial mineralization is ubiquitous in the natural environment. Microbes in low-permeability reservoirs are able to facilitate alteration of the structure and phase of the Fe-poor minerals by reducing Fe(III) and inhibiting clay swelling, which is still poorly studied.
