Microbial enhanced oil recovery research. [Peptides] [PDF]

, 1991
The objective of this work is to develop an engineering framework for the exploitation of microorganisms to enhance oil recovery. Specific goals include: (1) the production, isolation, chemical characterization and study of the physical properties of microbially produced surfactants; (2) development of simulators for MEOR; (3) model studies in ...

Microbial processes in the Athabasca Oil Sands and their potential applications in microbial enhanced oil recovery

Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology, 2011
The Athabasca Oil Sands are located within the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, which covers over 140,200 km(2) of land in Alberta, Canada. The oil sands provide a unique environment for bacteria as a result of the stressors of low water availability and high hydrocarbon concentrations.

Investigating the pore-scale mechanisms of microbial enhanced oil recovery [PDF]

Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) is a process where microorganisms are used for tertiary oil recovery. Numerous mechanisms have been proposed in the literature through which microorganisms facilitate the mobilization of residual oil.

The biopolymer produced by Rhizobium viscosum CECT 908 is a promising agent for application in microbial enhanced oil recovery.

New Biotechnology, 2019
Polymer flooding is one of the most promising techniques used to increase the productivity of mature oil reservoirs. Polymers reduce the mobility ratio of the injected water relative to the crude oil, improving the displacement of the entrapped oil and ...

Analysis on Microbial Community Structure and Phylogenetics for the Reservoir System after the Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery

, 2011
In order to probe a new enhanced oil recovery technology during the post polymer flooding process, we constructed the 16SrDNA gene library and analysed PCR-DGGE during the post-microbial enhanced oil recovery of polymer flooding process.

Dynamics of microbial-induced oil degradation at the microscale

Microbiology Spectrum
Microbial-induced oil degradation (MIOD) has a wide range of applications, such as microbial enhanced oil recovery and bioremediation of oil pollution. However, our understanding of MIOD is still far from complete.
