System and method for preparing near-surface heavy oil for extraction using microbial degradation

Patent Busche, Frederick D [Highland Village, TX]; Rollins, John B [Southlake, TX]; Noyes, Harold J [Golden, CO]; ...

A system and method for enhancing the recovery of heavy oil in an oil extraction environment by feeding nutrients to a preferred microbial species (bacteria and/or fungi). A method is described that includes the steps of: sampling and identifying microbial species that reside in the oil extraction environment; collecting fluid property data from the oil extraction environment; collecting nutrient data from the oil extraction environment; identifying a preferred microbial species from the oil extraction environment that can transform the heavy oil into a lighter oil; identifying a nutrient from the oil extraction environment that promotes a proliferation of the preferredmore » « less
