Sulphate reducing prokaryotes (SRP) cause hydrogen sulphide (H 2 S) generation in some
waterflooded hydrocarbon reservoirs that is known as microbial reservoir souring or …

As a supply for future fuel and energy demand, 95% of the bitumen deposits in North
America are expected to become a major source. The Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage …

Removal of sulfate from the injection seawater (desulfation) in hydrocarbon reservoirs is a
Modified Salinity Water (MSW) flooding method that mitigates microbial reservoir souring …

Abstract Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) is a term which is attributed to the
process of utilizing bacterial activity for increasing the recovery factor of oil reservoirs. This …

Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) activity in reservoirs causes several challenges related to
reservoir souring during waterflooding. Sulfate removal units are utilized as a souring …

This work investigates the effects of CO 2 and salinity on the biosouring process in
hydrocarbon reservoirs that is applicable in carbonated low salinity or smart water injection …

Gas and liquid production from nanopore shale resources substantially increased during the
past decade due to the advances in horizontal drilling and multistage hydraulic fracturing …

With the further development of oilfield, excessive sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) has
intensified odors and increased pipeline leakage incidents. Accurate predictive models of H …

The water quality of the injection–production systems deteriorates as the water flooding
oilfields are developed more deeply, and the content of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) …

Microbial generation of H 2 S in-situ due to injection of seawater, so-called reservoir souring,
