Oil drill cuttings are challenging wastes in oil sites especially in Khuzestan province, a major oil producing region in Iran. As co- composting is a simple and eco- friendly technique for bioremediation of oil base drill cutting, this data article designed to describe co- composting of oil base drill cutting with cow manure. The data suggest that with optimized mixture of cow manure/oily drill...

 The effectiveness of hydrocarbon bioremediation strategies approaches is depending on various issues such as type and volume of pollution, nutrient accessibility in the target ecosystem, time, biodiversity of microorganisms, pollutant bioavailability and many others. In the present research, laboratory studies were carried out on the bioremediation of coastal sediment samples ...

Petroleum has been recognized as a potential environmental contaminant since shortly after the beginning of the Twentieth Century. Reports of the biological consequences of ship wrecks involving cargos of crude and fuel oil began to appear in the popular and scientific press. Scientific literature on the subject was sparse until after World War II when reports of the effects of oil pollution be...

Abstract Petroleum-hydrocarbons spilt in surface seawater may pose potential threats to the corrosion of steel infrastructures. We show that crude oil accelerated mainly by accelerating microbiologically influenced (MIC). Crude led dominance marine oil-degraders including Alcanivorax and Marinobacter both rust, rather than sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) which dominated rust microbial community...

Petroleum exploration and production is an industry that provides researchers with multi-variant challenging “real world” properties. Recently, some petroleum soft computing techniques have gained a greater interest in prediction within the oil industry. This paper is interested in the analysis, classifying, mining and predictions, based on fuzzy as an intelligent system and an intelligent syst...

Petroleum is the most common global fossil fuel. It a complex multi-component system mainly composed of various hydrocarbons such as alkanes, cycloalkanes, mono-, bi- and polyaromatic compounds, resins asphaltenes. In spite humanity’s need for petroleum, it negatively affects environment due to its toxicity. The ecological problem especially serious at petroleum mining sites or during transport...

buy-back contracts in the upstream oil and gas projects of iran, has experienced the third generation of this kind of contracts since its inception on 1373 (1994) when the oil and gas industry of iran opend its petroleum market to the foreign investment. these contracts have since been subject to the various critieques raised by international oil companies, foreign investors, or petroleum exper...

The effect of oil soluble commercial corrosion inhibitors (OSCI) on the growth of bacteria and its corrosion inhibition efficiency were investigated. Corrosion inhibition efficiency was studied by rotating cage test and the nature of biodegradation of corrosion inhibitor was also analyzed by using FTIR, NMR and GC-MS. This isolate has the capacity to degrade the aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarb...

The present paper describes the process optimization study for crude oil degradation which is a continuation of our earlier work on hydrocarbon degradation study of the isolate Stenotrophomonas rhizophila (PM-1) with GenBank accession number KX082814. Response Surface Methodology with Box-Behnken Design was used to optimize the process wherein temperature, pH, salinity, and inoculum size (at th...

AIM The aim of this study was to characterize the microbial community involved in anaerobic degradation of petroleum hydrocarbon under low- and moderate-temperature conditions. METHODS AND RESULTS Sulfate-reducing enrichment cultures growing on crude oil and p-xylene were established at low and moderate temperatures. Bacterial community structures of the cultures were characterized by 16S rRN...
