Development of Microbial Consortium and Its Influencing Factors for Enhanced Oil Recovery after Polymer Flooding: A Review

Processes, 2023
After polymer flooding, substantial oil and residual polymers remain in reservoirs, leading to plugging and reduced recovery. MEOR (Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery) aims to release trapped oil by utilizing microorganisms and their byproducts.

Indigenous Microbial Biostimulation for Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery through Oil Degr ough Oil Degradation with V adation with Variation in Nutr ariation in Nutrent Concentrations

Makara Journal of Science, 2020
Oil production in Indonesia has been declining since 2002, and this decline is incompatible with the high oil consumption in Indonesia. As such oil production in Indonesia should be improved.
