Considering the anoxic conditions within oil reservoirs, a new microbial enhanced oil
recovery (MEOR) technology through in-situ biosurfactant production without air injection …

A facultative strain Luteimonas huabeiensis sp. nov. HB-2 isolated from Baolige Oilfield of
China was examined for its growth, biosurfactant production, hydrocarbon degradation and …

This study explored free and immobilised microorganisms to degrade heavy oil. Two oil‐
degrading bacterial strains (W‐1 and W‐2) were isolated from heavy oil wastewater samples …

The aim of this study was to isolate hydrocarbons-degrading bacteria for treatment of oily
wastewater from long-standing petroleum-polluted sediments in Bohai Bay, China. Six …

Microbial enhanced oil recovery utilizes microorganisms and their metabolic products to
improve the oil recovery. A pilot scale study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness …

Produced water (PW) in oilfield, as the largest waste streams in the oil and gas production,
has posed a huge threat to the ecosystem. In this work, an environmentally friendly and …

Conventional bioremediation using free cells has been proven to be effective for oil spills
management in the marine environment. However, there are some drawbacks to this …

Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) is potentially useful to increment oil recovery from
a reservoir beyond primary and secondary recovery operations using microorganisms and …

Plugging membrane filters with oil (mostly n-alkanes) constitutes one of the main barriers to
treating PW for its integration into industrial and agricultural uses. A previous study shows …

Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is a useful technique to improve oil recovery from
depleted oil reservoirs beyond primary and secondary recovery operations using bacteria …
