Abstract:Using viable microbial cultures within hydrocarbon reservoirs so as to enhancement of oil recovery through metabolic activities is exactly what we recognize as Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR). In similar with many other process in industries, there are some cons and pros following with MEOR. The creation of sulfides such as hydrogen sulfide as a result of injecting the sulfate-containing seawater into hydrocarbon reservoirs in order to maintain the required reservoir pressure, leads to produce and growt… Show more
