A new joint industry project aims to develop methods, tools and workflows to reliably detect the occurrence of MIC in oil field operations.

MEOR Monitoring with qPCR, NGS, and WGS

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…
