Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR): recent development and future perspectives

Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2023
After conventional oil recovery operations, more than half of the crude oil still remains in a form, which is difficult to extract. Therefore, exploring and developing new enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies have always been priority research in oilfield development.

Dynamic Screening for Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR)

Proceedings, 2017
Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method for mature reservoirs, exploiting indigenous microorganisms that can be stimulated in the reservoir. As MEOR relies of the combination of various mechanisms a very well designed screening procedure is necessary for a successful field application.

Factors Affecting Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR)

2018
Oil and natural gas are the primary sources of energy used by humanity, as renewable energy is not yet available to the entire population. After an oil field is abandoned, or its production declines significantly, an estimated two-thirds of the oil originally onsite remains in the subsoil, which is difficult and expensive to extract by conventional ...

MICROBIAL ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY (MEOR) IN PEANUT OIL

International Journal of Drug Delivery Technology
Aflatoxins, highly toxic and carcinogenic secondary metabolites produced by Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus, pose a serious threat to food safety, particularly in oil-rich crops like peanuts. Contamination of peanut oil with aflatoxins presents a major health concern and limits its commercial value.

Biosystem Development for Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR)

2011
Conventional primary and secondary oil recovery processes recover only one third of the oil present in the oil reservoir. EOR technologies produce an additional oil recovery after these processes cease to produce oil. Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) includes the tertiary oil recovery process where microorganisms or their metabolites are used to ...

Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) in Petroleum Reservoir

International Science and Technology Journal
Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR), characterized with the virtues of low cost and environmental protection, reflects the prevalent belief in environmental protection, and is attracting the attention of more researchers. Nonetheless, with the prolonged slump in global oil prices, how to further reduce the cost of MEOR has become a key factor in its

Comparison of mono‐rhamnolipids and di‐rhamnolipids on microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) applications

Biotechnology Progress, 2020
Abstract Rhamnolipids (RMLs) have more effectiveness for specific uses according to their homologue proportions. Thus, the novelty of this work was to compare mono‐RMLs and di‐RMLs physicochemical properties on microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) applications. For this, RML produced by three strains of

Microbially enhanced oil recovery (MEOR). Part 2. Microbes and the subsurface environment for MEOR

Enzyme and Microbial Technology, 1994
In Part 1 of this review, the importance of microbially enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) was stressed along with the historical background and proposed mechanisms involved in MEOR. In this second part the main focus is on the types of organisms used, the effect of the subsurface environment, and future work in the MEOR process.

Multidisciplinary Challenge for Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR)

SPE Saudi Arabia Section Technical Symposium, 2008
Abstract Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is one of the recent techniques suggested to stimulate oil production. This technique is based on in situ growth and metabolism of selected microorganism in the reservoir rock with certain nutrients.

Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) with Special Emphasis to the "Uneconomical Reserves"

SPE Indian Oil and Gas Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2008
Abstract While demand for petroleum products continuous to rise, petroleum production worldwide is in a steady decline. However, new developments in technology and the rise in world oil prices give promise that substantial portions of otherwise neglected oil can be recovered.
