Abstract:

The ever increasing demand for oil, coupled with the reduction in reserves, is increasing emphasis on finding new oil deposits and recovering more oil from known reserves since half to two thirds of all of the oil discovered to date is still in the ground and not recoverable by present technology. There are, however, microbiological techniques that could be of value in extending the time before alternatives to oil as the major energy source are required. Two will be discussed here ? geomicrobiological prospecting and microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR).

Abstract:

The Alton Field has produced 1.875 million stock tank barrels of oil and is nearing the end of its primary life. It is proposed to enhance the recovery from the field microbiologically. Surfactant producing bacteria will be injected into the reservoir in order to lower the oil/water interfacial tension and mobilise the remaining oil. Laboratory experiments on artifical cores have demonstrated the viability of this process. This MEOR project will initially be done in a one-well cyclic Huff and Puff program.

The objective of this research is to isolate and identify hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria for biopolymer synthesis and application in the augmentation of Nigerian heavy crude oil recovery. MEOR refers to the process of injecting either indigenous or non-indigenous microbes into hydrocarbon reserves. Injecting microorganisms with nutritional broth facilitate the formation of essential metabolites such as biosurfactants, biopolymers, and gases, resulting in decreased interfacial tension, viscosity modification, and mobility control.

Due to the inefficient reproduction of microorganisms in oxygen-deprived environments of the reservoir, the applications of microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) are restricted. To overcome this problem, a new type of air-assisted MEOR process was investigated. Three compounding oil degradation strains were screened using biochemical experiments. Their performances in bacterial suspensions with different amounts of dissolved oxygen were evaluated. Water flooding, microbial flooding and air-assisted microbial flooding core flow experiments were carried out. Carbon distribution curve of biodegr

Abstract:

Biosurfactant is produced by a certain microorganism to reduce surface tension. Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is one of the many applications of biosurfactant. However, the biosurfactant for MEOR needs to be able to withstand the extreme environment of oil reservoirs with high temperature and high salinity. Halomonas meridiana BK-AB4 is a halophilic bacterium obtained from the Bledug Kuwu crater in Central Java, Indonesia. The similarity of both environment condition indicates the potential to produce suitable biosurfactant. This study evaluates the potential of Halomonas meridiana BK

Abstract:

Oil recovery can be increased through the activities of microbes in a process known as Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR). MEOR technology has been implemented in a number of oil producing companies and has proven to have a good prospect, environmentally friendly and low cost. The microbes which proliferate in Indonesian oil fields should be subjected to laboratory identification. Samples of formation water, oil, and soil were taken from various oil fields. These oil fields were selected on account of their reservoir temperatures which promise optimum growth of microbes. In order that MEOR

Abstract:

In order to probe a new enhanced oil recovery technology during the post polymer flooding process, we constructed the 16SrDNA gene library and analysed PCR-DGGE during the post-microbial enhanced oil recovery of polymer flooding process. Through the research for the reservoir system, we studied the microbial community structure and genetic diversity after polymer flooding process, made the phylogenetic analysis. It is supposed to provide a dependable basis for MEOR through directional control microbial community of reservoir, through development and application of effective microbial flooding

Abstract:

The purpose of this work was to propose sustainable solutions for advanced oil recovery by evaluating the ability of the bacterium Pseudomonas sp. in the biotransformation of alkanes, in addition to determining strain growth patterns under extreme conditions. For this, the work was initially carried out under laboratory conditions, in which the crude oil was fractionated to obtain the saturated fraction used in the experiment. The bacterial tolerance to salinity and temperature was also tested to determine the experimental conditions and set up the experiment in regard to these parameters. Add

The present study was conducted to isolate active Bacillus cultures from developed oil reservoirs as potential objects for the development of microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) methods. Oil formation water from two oil fields "Zhetybai" and "Kulsary" located in Western Kazakhstan were used as study materials. 8 cultures of Bacillus genus were isolated and identified on the basis of phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene. The formation of acetic acid and biosurfactants were studied as target properties valuable for MEOR. It was revealed that the investigated microorganisms are able to synth

This crude is gotten from several wells drilled for the sole purpose of the production of this mineral resource but this wells are being shut-down and abandoned because of the decrease in the well’s productivity which causes losses to the operators and poor finances for the petroleum industry. Therefore, the need to increase the recovery of a well is been considered, these m

Abstract:

A microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) technique was tested at low-temperature heavy oil reservoirs (Russia). The bioaugmentation approach used is based on the introduction of hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria into the oilfield in combination with an injection of oxygen as a H2O2 solution in order to initiate the first stage of hydrocarbon oxidation and of (NH4)2HPO4 as a source of biogenic elements. Before the pilot trials, the microorganisms of petroleum reservoirs were investigated by high-throughput sequencing, as well as by culture-base and radioisotope techniques. Molecular studies reveal
