Microbial enhancement of oil recovery—recent advances, by Eugene T. Premuzic and Avril Woodhead (Eds.)

By Eugene T. Premuzic and Avril Woodhead (Eds.)

This quantity is anxious with many points of petroleum microbiology and biochemistry, all with powerful advertisement functions. world wide study at the significant subject, MEOR (Microbially improved Oil restoration) is comprehensively lined below experimental paintings, box purposes and modeling. The problem of formulating an entire in situ MEOR procedure (microorganisms, nutrient package deal, and different amendments) is explored including the longer term wishes within the layout and execution of this new biotechnology.

Many organisms are known to alter the pH of a medium through acid or base production associated with specific anaerobic metabolic activities. Carbonates, phosphates, and silicates are known to undergo precipitation in the biologically accessible range of pH alteration with ubiquitous cations like calcium. Laboratory screening trials were setup on this basis. Leuconostoc mesenteroides B523 was used to produce acidic conditions for silica precipitation. This organism is able to reduce pH to 4 by the anaerobic production of lactic acid and was shown to survive and function in oil reservoirs in another context [ 3 6 ] .

Even without significant dissolved organic material, SRB are capable of autotrophic growth in oil reservoir environments where sulfate and other mineral nutrients are available [ 1 2 - 1 4 ) . They also are capable of coupling sulfate reduction to the ammonification of nitrate [15]. Often sulfate is absent from formation waters, and therefore, the growth of sulfate-reducingbacteria is not favored. However, when waterflooding operations begin, new substances, such as sulfate, are introduced into the reservoir, and SRB then become active and powerful geochemical agents.
