Sinossi
This volume provides a comprehensive review that consolidates all of the pertinent information available. Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) involves many scientific disciplines, many different approaches, and many different countries. This book supplies the information needed for continued development of MEO methods and points out areas where information is lacking and where more research is needed. This easy-to-use resource focuses on the three types of MEOR processes which can be utilized to recover oil from reservoirs. Successful MEOR involves contributions from petroleum, chemical, genetic, environmental, geotechnical, and bioengineering. Also, geology, chemistry, and microbiology play a major role as well. This critical review book includes a comprehensive reference list and opens the lines of communication among the various fields of study. This work will also encourage the exchange of ideas and interaction necessary for success in this quickly developing technology. Scientists, researchers, and practitioners will find this text to be interesting, informative, and indispensable.consolidatesR
