Results for tag: "Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery"

Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) is a technique used to increase the amount of oil that can be extracted from a reservoir. It involves the injection of microorganisms into the reservoir to stimulate the production of oil. The microorganisms produce enzymes and other compounds that can break down the oil molecules, making them easier to extract. MEOR can also be used to reduce the viscosity of the oil, allowing it to flow more easily. MEOR is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method of increasing oil production. MEOR is used in a variety of oil fields around the world, including offshore and onshore fields. It is particularly useful in mature fields, where traditional methods of oil extraction are no longer effective. MEOR can also be used to improve the efficiency of existing oil production systems. Some of the companies in the MEOR market include Schlumberger, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, and Weatherford International. These companies provide a range of services related to MEOR, including consulting, engineering, and technology development. Show Less Read more
