Bacterial Biosurfactants, and Their Role in Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR)
2010Surfactants are chemically synthesized surface-active compounds widely used for large number of applications in various industries. During last few years there is increase demand of biological surface-active compounds or biosurfactants which are produced by large number of microorganisms as they exert biodegradability, low toxicity and widespread ...

Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) Technology in Bokor Field, Sarawak
Proceedings of SPE Asia Pacific Improved Oil Recovery Conference, 2001Abstract Bokor field was selected as the first field in Malaysia for Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) technology application which utilizes micro-organisms to facilitate, increase or extend oil production from reservoir through the production of biochemical such as biosurfactant, solvents, gases and weak acids.

How Specific Microbial Communities Benefit the Oil Industry: Microbial-Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR)
2010Microbial-enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) involves injecting into the oil-saturated layer microbes and/nutrients to create the in situ production of metabolic products or nutrients to stimulate indigenous microbes. The purposes of MEOR are to increase oil production, decrease the water cut and prolong the productive life of the oilfield. The most probable

Nitrate-Mediated Microbially Enhanced Oil Recovery (N-MEOR) from model upflow bioreactors
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2017Microbially Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) can enhance oil production with less energy input and less costs than other technologies. The present study used different aqueous electron donors (acetate, glucose, molasses) and an aqueous electron acceptor (nitrate) to stimulate growth of heterotrophic nitrate reducing bacteria (hNRB) to improve production of

Microbial processes that produce solid-phase minerals could be judiciously applied to modify rock porosity with subsequent alteration and improvement of floodwater sweep in petroleum reservoirs. However, there has been little investigation of the application of this to enhanced oil recovery (EOR).

Chapter 5 - Application of Biosurfactants for Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR)
2021Despite the significant efforts to expand the use of renewable energy sources, our society is still highly dependent on crude oil. The progressive exhaustion of light crude oil reserves forced the oil companies to develop alternative strategies to recover the entrapped oil remaining in the reservoirs. These technologies, known as Enhanced Oil Recovery,

Ch. R-18 Prospects for Thermophilic Microorganisms in Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR)
1991Abstract Developments in MEOR have shown that successful microbial candidates should be able to metabolize crude oils in the presence of high salt concentrations, as well as be able to produce beneficial metabolites such as acids and emulsifying agents. Furthermore, under reservoir conditions, such microorganisms should be viable over extended periods
