International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Microbialenhanced oil recovery has gained more attention in recent years due to its low cost and eco‐friendliness. However, studies on the application of this technique in the low‐permeability reservoirs are few. In this study, eight strains from the Ordos Basin low‐permeability reservoir that produce biosurfactant and reduce viscosity were identified.

Performance Evaluation of Bacterial Consortia from Low‐Permeability Reservoir in Ordos Basin
International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 The combination of strains of different species and genera may enhance the effects of single bacteria, surpass the tolerance upper limit, and optimize the viscosity reduction and degradation. In this study, six strains were isolated in low permeability layers of the Ordos Basin and were combined to verify the effect of the consortium strains.

AIChE Journal, Volume 68, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Microbial processes sour oil, corrode equipment, and degrade hydrocarbons at an annual global cost to the oil and gas industry of nearly $2 billion. However, top‐down control of these microbial processes can reduce their damage and enhance oil recovery.

Study on the application potential of lipopeptide fermentation broth in oil recovery
Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 10, Issue 7, Page 2065-2075, July 2022., 2022 In this paper, the performance of lipopeptide fermentation liquid was studied, and xanthan gum was innovatively used to give full play to the role of lippeptide, and the emulsification mechanism of lipopeptide fermentation liquid was studied. Abstract Microbial flooding is a new enhanced‐oil‐recovery technology for the petroleum industry. In this study,

Development and Research Status of Heavy Oil Enhanced Oil Recovery
Geofluids, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Heavy oil is an important part of petroleum hydrocarbon energy. With the depletion of conventional crude oil reserves, successful and efficient exploitation of heavy oil resources is becoming increasingly important. This article focuses on the nine relatively mature heavy oil development technologies from the perspectives of the level of understanding ...

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 14, Issue 1, Page 147-170, January 2021., 2021 The demand for microbially produced surface‐active compounds for use in industrial processes and products is increasing. As such there has been a comparable increase in the number of publications relating to the characterisation of novel surface‐active compounds; novel producers of already characterised surface‐active compounds and production processes
