Microbiological aspects of oil production
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6485744
Almost 5 years have passed with little development of microbial processes for enhanced oil recovery (EDR). Advances have been made in knowledge of the properties of various hydrocarbon-utilizing microorganisms. Reservoir microbiology is discussed. One oil release technique is an anaerobic fermentation within a reservoir. Biopolymers and polysaccharides have application in EOR. Hydrocolloids and surfactants of microbial origin are listed and their possible application mentioned. An example of the application of bioengineering principles is bacterial desulfurization. (DLC)
