Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery: Principles and Potential

This book presents the fundamentals of the reservoir and interfacial engineering. The book systematically starts with the basics of primary, secondary and tertiary (enhanced) oil recovery and emphasizes on the theory of microbial—enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) and its potential toward recovery of oil in place. Different approaches of MEOR such as in—situ, ex—situ, and integration of chemical— and microbial—enhanced oil recovery (EOR) are discussed in detail. This book highlights the link betw...
