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

Oil reservoirs can represent extreme environments for microbial life due to low water
availability, high salinity, high pressure and naturally occurring radionuclides. This study …

In upstream oil industry, microorganisms arise some opportunities and challenges. They can
increase oil recovery through microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) mechanisms, or they …

Bacillus species and their metabolites have potential alternative uses as chemical pesticides
that can limit the growth of potential plant pathogens and enhance crop productivity. The aim …

The formation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in petroleum reservoirs by anaerobic microbial
activity (through sulfate-reducing microorganisms, SRMs) is called biogenic souring of …

One of the major parameters that characterizes the kinetics of microbial processes is the
maximum specific growth rate. The maximum specific growth rate for a single microorganism …

Abstract Treatment of seawater injection systems with nitrate, as a potential method of
mitigation against reservoir souring, was first started in the North Sea almost twenty years …

The deep biosphere is home to an abundance of microorganisms. However, limitations to
accessing deep subsurface samples means that very little is known about microorganisms …

The potential for microbiologically-influenced corrosion (MIC) of oilfield produced waters
collected from the topsides of two offshore FPSO (floating, production, storage, and …
