Polymer-Assisted Microbial-Enhanced Oil Recovery

, 2018
Uncontrolled flow through different permeability zones in oil reservoirs remains a huge challenge during water flooding, which can significantly limit microbial-enhanced oil recovery (MEOR)) efficiency.

Modification of Eclipse simulator for microbial enhanced oil recovery

Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology, 2019
Many widely used reservoir simulators include an EOR option, but there is no feature available in a commercial simulator in the oil industry that simulates microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) process.

Bacteria in crude oil survived autoclaving and stimulated differentially by exogenous bacteria. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Autoclaving of crude oil is often used to evaluate the hydrocarbon-degrading abilities of bacteria. This may be potentially useful for bioaugmentation and microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR). However, it is not entirely clear if "endogenous" bacteria (

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 ...

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

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Screening and characterization of biosurfactant produced by Pseudoxanthomonas sp. G3 and its applicability for enhanced oil recovery

Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology, 2019
Biosurfactants are one of the microbial bioproducts that are in most demand from microbial-enhanced oil recovery (MEOR). We isolated and screened potential biosurfactant-producing bacteria, followed by biosurfactant production and characterization, and a

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 ...

Advancements and Challenges in the Production of Biosurfactants: A Path Toward Sustainable Surfactant Alternatives

ChemBioEng Reviews, Volume 13, Issue 1, February 2026.
Microorganisms generate versatile biosurfactants with a wide range of uses. Although cost issues still exist, industrial interest is growing because to the advantages of sustainability, which are enhanced by genetic engineering; life cycle evaluation is crucial for scalable, environmentally responsible production.
