Microbes at Work: Building a Smarter MEOR Monitoring Program How molecular biological tools connect microbial mechanisms with reservoir response and operating decisions Microbial enhanced oil recovery is not simply about finding microorganisms in a reservoir. A successful MEOR program must determine whether the right organisms and functional genes are present, whether the microbial community responds…

  Ever thought about biosurfactants helping to enhance contaminant degradation? Want to utilize Microbially Enhanced Oil Recovery?  Now we can quantify many of the organisms known to have this capability!! During environmental cleanup, hydrophobic contaminants can become bound to soil particles making them difficult to remediate. To increase contaminant desorption, natural surfactants can be utilized in…
