Crude oil is the major source of energy worldwide being exploited as a source of economy,
including Oman. As the price of crude oil increases and crude oil reserves collapse …

The fermentative production of biosurfactants by Bacillus subtilis strain B30 and the
evaluation of biosurfactant based enhanced oil recovery using core-flood were investigated …

Background Lipopeptides are known as promising microbial surfactants and have been
successfully used in enhancing oil recovery in extreme environmental conditions. A …

Oil production and/or transportation can cause severe environmental pollution and disrupt
the populations of living organisms. In the present study, biodegradation of petroleum …

To investigate the spatial distribution of microbial communities and their drivers in petroleum
reservoir environments, we performed pyrosequencing of microbial partial 16S rRNA …

Microbial populations associated with microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) and their
abundance in the Xinjiang Luliang water‐flooding petroleum reservoir were investigated …

This study was carried out to understand microbial diversity and function in the microbial
enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) process and to assess the impact of MEOR treatment on the …

Soil pollution is an unavoidable evil; many crude-oil exploring communities have been
identified to be the most ecologically impacted regions around the world due to hydrocarbon …

A microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) technique was tested at low-temperature heavy
oil reservoirs (Russia). The bioaugmentation approach used is based on the introduction of …
