The objective of this program is to determine the chemical and physical effects of thermophilic and thermoadapted organisms on crude oils and cores at elevated temperatures and pressures. Ultimately a data base will be generated which will be used in technical and economic feasibility studies leading to field applications. Progress reports are presented for the following tasks: duration of biotreatment and media effects where comparative studies of microbial effects on different types of heavy oils are discussed; construction of core-flooding systems; and microscopic comparison of reaction mixtures.
