Our understanding of the phylogenetic diversity, metabolic capabilities, ecological roles, and
community dynamics of oil reservoir microbial communities is far from complete. The lack of …

The depletion of oil resources, increasing global energy demand, the current low, yet
unpredictable, price of oil, and increasing maturity of major oil fields has driven the need for …

Rhizoremediation is a bioremediation technique whereby microbial degradation of organic
contaminants occurs in the rhizosphere. It is considered to be an effective and affordable …

Petroleum is produced by thermal decay of buried organic material over millions of years.
Petroleum oilfield ecosystems represent resource of reduced carbon which favours …

Fundamentals of Enhanced Oil and Gas Recovery from Conventional and Unconventional
Reservoirs delivers the proper foundation on all types of currently utilized and upcoming …

Our understanding of the processes underlying the formation of heavy oil has been
transformed in the last decade. The process was once thought to be driven by oxygen …

Methanogenic degradation of crude oil hydrocarbons is an important process in subsurface
petroleum reservoirs and anoxic environments contaminated with petroleum. There are …

Petrochemical and geological evidence suggest that petroleum in most reservoirs is
anaerobically biodegraded to some extent. However, the conditions for this metabolism and …

To get insights into microbial diversity and biogeochemical processes in the terrestrial deep
subsurface aquifer, we sequenced the metagenome of artesian water collected at a 2.8 km …

Molecular and culture-based methods were used to investigate the microbial diversity in
produced water obtained from the high-temperature Troll oil formation in the North Sea. 16S …
