About this document

Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery Report by Sourav Bhattacharjee is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This annual report summarizes research on microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR). The objectives are to develop an engineering framework for exploiting microorganisms to enhance oil recovery through the production of surfactants, biopolymers, and selective plugging. Researchers characterized a biosurfactant produced by Bacillus licheniformis and found it is a lipopeptide that significantly lowers interfacial tension at pH 6.0. A MEOR simulator was developed and validated using coreflood experiments showing
