A mini-investigation on enhanced oil recovery evolution (2007 – 2020) [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2023 Energy plays an important role in sustaining humanity. With rising worldwide energy demand and the great dependence of energy generation on fossil fuels, it is inevitable that enhanced oil recovery must be deployed to recover more possible reserves. This

A Review on Biosurfactant Applications in the Petroleum Industry
International Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 The inadequacy of worldwide fossil fuel resources, combined with increasing energy demands, encourages global attention to either using alternative energy resources or improving the recovery factor and produce larger quantities from present reservoirs.

Impact of a Microbial-Enhanced Oil Recovery Field Trial on Microbial Communities in a Low-Temperature Heavy Oil Reservoir [PDF]
, 2015 In this experiment, air and nutrients were injected into a low temperature heavy oil reservoir to initiate an indigenous microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) process with a cumulative increment of 1872 t heavy oil.

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.

Encapsulation enhances protoplast fusant stability
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 117, Issue 6, Page 1696-1709, June 2020., 2020 Genetic instability of engineered organisms causes significant losses in productivity and profits for biomanufacturing. Instability typically occurs upon cell division, when genetic material is lost due to chance or nuclear segregation. We encapsulated yeast dikaryons capable of fermenting both hexose and pentose sugars in an alginate matrix.

Microbially Induced Calcium Carbonate Plugging for Enhanced Oil Recovery
Geofluids, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 Plugging high‐permeability zones within oil reservoirs is a straightforward approach to enhance oil recovery by diverting waterflooding fluids through the lower‐permeability oil‐saturated zones and thereby increase hydrocarbon displacement by improvements in sweep efficiency.
