Isolating, identifying and evaluating of oil degradation strains for the air-assisted microbial enhanced oil recovery process.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Due to the inefficient reproduction of microorganisms in oxygen-deprived environments of the reservoir, the applications of microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) are restricted.

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

Use of Microorganisms in the Recovery of Oil From Recalcitrant Oil Reservoirs: Current State of Knowledge, Technological Advances and Future Perspectives

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The depletion of oil resources, increasing global energy demand, the current low, yet unpredictable, price of oil, and increasing maturity of major oil fields has driven the need for the development of oil recovery technologies that are less costly and ...

Nutrient optimization for indigenous microbial consortia of a Bhagyam oil field: MEOR studies

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) method is an eco-friendly and economical alternative technology. The technology involves a variety of uncertainties, and its success depends on controlling microbial growth and metabolism. This study is one of a

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.

Comparison of biochemical microbial effects in enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) [PDF]

, 1992
Experimental data dealing with the interactions between certain microbial species and crude oils indicates that these interactions are selective and occur via biochemical pathways which can be characterized by the chemical composition of the initial crude oil and that of the end products.

Possible Applications of MEOR to the Arab Oil Fields

Journal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences, 1993
Large quantities of residual oil will remain in the Arab oil reservoirs after the primary recovery and water-flooding stages. Because of the large sizes of the Saudi oil fields (in particular), the amount of the residual oil will be enormous.
