INTRODUCTION Protect the oil wells to increase their longevity is now one of the major oil-producing countries is difficult. Each year, an extraordinary global budget for research on EOR and MEOR (enhanced oil recovery methods) is allocated. In addition, the owners of these vessels extraordinary efforts to exploit new, lower cost, and highly efficient techniques. A new and promising way to incr...

Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) is an effective alternative method for oil recovery in reservoirs using microorganisms or their secondary metabolites. This research aimed to evaluate the indigenous bacteria from Mae Soon reservoir by culture-dependent and culture-independent methods investigate potential of biosurfactant-producing a drop-collapsed assay. Indigenous were isolated sands re...

The data presented in this article is related to the Master thesis; entitled "Survey Aerobic Microbial Diversity Mud Volcanoes in Chabahar and Khash Ports in Southern Iran" by the first author of this article, year 2011, Islamic Azad University, Iran (reference number (Parsia, 2011) [1] of this article). This article shows microbial biodiversity and evaluates bio-emulsifier and bio-demulsifier ...

Autoclaving of crude oil is often used to evaluate the hydrocarbon-degrading abilities of bacteria. This may be potentially useful for bioaugmentation and microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR). However, it is not entirely clear if "endogenous" bacteria (e.g., spores) in/on crude oil survive the autoclaving process, or influence subsequent evaluation of the hydrocarbon-degradation abilities of ...

For microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR), different mechanisms have been introduced. In some of these papers, the phenomena and related to biosurfactants produced by certain microorganisms were discussed, while others studied direct impacts properties on mechanisms. However, there are only very few papers dealing with interfacial properties. present work, three bacteria MJ02 (Bacillus Subtili...

Microbially produced surfactants have been studied for microbially enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) and the bioremediation of hydrocarbons. However, most of these studies have used biosurfactants produced by one of a small number of pure-culture microbes isolated in a laboratory. In previous work, we determined that biosurfactant-producing microorganisms were naturally present at two hydrocarbon-im...

In the present study, the potential of a bacterial consortium of Enterobacter cloacae and Pseudomonas sp. (ERCPPI-2) for microbial enhanced oil recovery was investigated. Various mechanisms of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) as a result of using ERCPPI-2 and its metabolic products were studied in detail. The obtained results showed that under simulated reservoir ...

Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) is a tertiary oil recovery method that utilizes microbes to enhance oil production. This research was focused on the isolation and characterization of indigenous bacteria from a South Sumatra’s oilfield which were able to degrade heavy crude oil and decrease oil viscosity. The total of 33 colonies were successfully isolated based on sequential isolation me...
