Microbe-induced fluid viscosity variation: field-scale simulation, sensitivity and geological uncertainty

Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology, 2020
This study is intended to expand the scope of microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) simulation studies from 1D to field scale focussing on fluid viscosity variation and heterogeneity that lacks in most MEOR studies.

Biosurfactant‐assisted recovery and remediation of hydrocarbons from oily sludge using a mobile aerated washing system

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 12, Page 2630-2648, December 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The oil industry generates oily sludge, the accumulation of which poses a serious environmental problem. Conventional methods require high costs, specialized equipment, and qualified personnel. This waste can be treated using biosurfactants.

Low‐Abundance Dietzia Inhabiting a Water‐Flooding Oil Reservoir and the Application Potential for Oil Recovery

BioMed Research International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
With the development of molecular ecology, increasing low‐abundance microbial populations were detected in oil reservoirs. However, our knowledge about the oil recovery potential of these populations is lacking. In this study, the oil recovery potential of low‐abundance Dietzia that accounts for less than 0.5% in microbial communities of a water ...

Biomethane Energy Production Using Orange Hydrogen Coupled With CO2 Sequestration and Utilization

Carbon Neutralization, Volume 5, Issue 4, July 2026.
In subsurface hydrocarbon‐simulated environments, injected CO2 follows dual transformation routes: geochemical mineralization into stable carbonates (CCS) and microbially mediated conversion into CH4 energy through anaerobic metabolic processes. ABSTRACT The escalating concerns of global warming have intensified the global demand for clean energy ...

Prospects for Thermophilic Microorganisms in Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR)

Proceedings of SPE International Symposium on Oilfield Chemistry, 1991
Abstract Microbial activity in crude oils under reservoir and storage conditions has been known to exist for a long time. Such activity can cause deleterious effects in the quality and subsequent processing of crudes. In the past ten to fifteen years, however, a considerable research effort has shown that there are beneficial microbial ...

Analysis of Bacterial Diversity in Different Heavy Oil Wells of a Reservoir in South Oman with Alkaline pH

Scientifica, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
The identification of potential hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria is an essential requirement in microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR). Molecular approaches like proteomic and genomic characterization of the isolates are replacing the traditional method of identification with systemic classification.

Microbially Enhanced Oil Recovery by Alkylbenzene-Oxidizing Nitrate-Reducing Bacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Microbially enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) of heavy oil and bitumen is challenging because light hydrocarbons, which can feed resident microbial communities are present in low concentrations, if at all.
