“…reducing sulfates), in settings with poor availability of electron acceptors. This property is known as syntrophic growth (Nazina et al, 2007). Some evidences that confirm the biological activity of SRB are the concentration of hydrogen sulfide produced, the decreased concentration of SO 4 2-ions in relation to their concentration in the injected seawater; as well as the increased concentration of the isotopic sulfur in sulfates and its decreased in hydrogen sulfide occurring in the gas accompanying the reservoir (Rozanova et al, 2001).…”

“…The products of metabolic reactions are organic acids and gases, such as H 2 and CO 2 , which may cause increase of reservoir pressure. These microorganisms have potential for their application in microbiological methods of oil production enhancement www.intechopen.com (Magot et al, 2000;Nazina et al, 2007).

“…Methanogenic archaea bacteria are the next important group of microorganisms occurring in crude oil reservoir settings (Magot et al, 2000;Nazina et al, 2007). The product of their activity is methane; therefore the biological activity of these microorganisms is measured by the methane production rate or by the volume of methane produced.…”

Constraints on the internal composition of microbial cells are used together with standard state thermodynamic data to evaluate energy demands associated with the citric acid cycle and its individual steps to explore geobiochemical processes in the deep subsurface biosphere. Two pressure-temperature ranges are considered: up to 200 °C and to ~2 kb with the revised Helgeson-Kirkham-Flowers equations of state, and up to 200 °C from 10 to 60 kilobars with the Deep Earth Water model. The former pressure-temperature ranges encompass conditions for known life in natural systems, and the latter push the upper pressures for life into those of subduction zones using guidance from laboratory experiments. The neutral solutes H 2 (aq) and CO 2 (aq) can diffuse freely across cell membranes and impose external conditions into the composition of microbial cells, and as a result there is a range of chemical affinities for citric acid cycle reactions that prevail throughout the deep subsurface biosphere. These ranges raise the possibility that the citric acid cycle releases energy when run in either the forward or reverse directions depending on the affinities involved. The results of this theoretical study support the notion that life may extend far deeper into subduction zones than is generally appreciated. 25 25.1. PHYSICAL CONDITIONS OF THE DEEP BIOSPHERE

Bio‐enhanced oil recovery (BEOR) is an advanced and innovative approach in the oil industry that could be a potential solution to increase oil production from existing reservoirs using technologies based on biological methods. Nevertheless, there has been a lack of comprehensive reviews that elucidate the various aspects and potential of different BEOR methods and processes. This review summarizes the recent progress of various methods employed in BEOR, exploring their applications and highlighting their distinct advantages. BEOR employs different techniques, including microorganisms and biomicrobes microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR), enzymes, biopolymers, bionanomaterials, alkaline, and biosurfactants to increase oil recovery. Microorganisms contribute significantly to BEOR through metabolic processes that result in the production of gases and acids. The role of enzymes is to enhance the fluid flow and thereby facilitate oil production. Biosurfactants reduce the interfacial tension (IFT) between oil and water and mobilize the trapped oil. Biopolymers are obtained from biological sources such as plants, microorganisms, and algae. Biopolymers can interact with oil, which is well‐used in the process of EOR. Bionano processes represent a fusion of biology and nanotechnology, integrate the advantages of both microorganisms and nanoparticles, and provide a synergic effect for EOR. The BEOR revealed an attractive potential to be an effective approach to maximizing the oil recovery considering environmental, economic productivity, and sustainability issues. Also, this review encourages further studies and development in this field for fully exploiting BEOR's capacity and meeting the ever‐increasing needs of energy resources with a sustainable viewpoint.
