“…These same types of LMWOAs found to be associated with petroleum deposits are also indicative of biodegradation of petroleum compounds in shallower environments where anaerobic conditions prevail (e.g., Cozzarelli et al, 1994;Kharaka et al, 2005). Orem et al (2014) reported detecting only acetate in PW from the Marcellus Shale, with concentrations typically <11 mg/L; the low acetate levels were attributed to anaerobic biological processes (production and consumption), and not thermal cracking of kerogen.…”

“…Benko and Drewes (2008) found the TDS concentration of produced water in the western United States to vary between 1,000 mg/L and 400,000 mg/L. According to Kharaka and Otton (2003) the toxicity of produce water is directly related to high salinity (3000 to > 350,000 mg/L total dissolved solids (TDS).…”

“…Drilling and production activities associated with the petroleum industry result in the contamination of nearby surface and groundwater (Kharaka et al 2005;O'Rourke and Connolly 2003;Osborn et al 2011). This contamination can include various petroleum hydrocarbons (e.g., benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)), metals, salts, and other contaminants.…”

Successful bioremediation of oil pollution is based on a comprehensive understanding of the in situ physicochemical conditions and indigenous microbial communities as well as the interaction between microorganisms and geochemical variables. Nineteen oil-contaminated soil samples and five uncontaminated controls were taken from six major oilfields across different geoclimatic regions in China to investigate the spatial distribution of the microbial ecosystem. Microbial community analysis revealed remarkable variation in microbial diversity between oil-contaminated soils taken from different oilfields. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) further demonstrated that a suite of in situ geochemical parameters, including soil moisture and sulfate concentrations, were among the factors that influenced the overall microbial community structure and composition. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the vast majority of sequences were related to the genera Arthrobacter, Dietzia, Pseudomonas, Rhodococcus, and Marinobacter, many of which contain known oil-degrading or oil-emulsifying species. Remarkably, a number of archaeal genera including Halalkalicoccus, Natronomonas, Haloterrigena, and Natrinema were found in relatively high abundance in some of the oil-contaminated soil samples, indicating that these Euryarchaeota may play an important ecological role in some oil-contaminated soils. This study offers a direct and reliable reference of the diversity of the microbial community in various oil-contaminated soils and may influence strategies for in situ bioremediation of oil pollution.
