INTRODUCTION: HISTORY OF MICROBIAL ENHANCED OIL
RECOVERY (MEOR)

injection of mixed anaerobic or facultative


Beckman suggested for the first time that
1960- anaerobic bacteria (Clostridium, Bacillus,
1926 microorganisms could be used to release oil from
Pseudomonas, Arthrobacterium, Micrococcus,
porous media 1970s Peptococcus, Mycobacterium, etc.) selected on
their ability to generate high quantities of gases,
ZoBell and his research group started a series of acids, solvents, polymers, surfactants, and cell-
systematic laboratory investigations. Their results biomass
1947
marked the beginning of a new era of research in Heinningen suggested a new technology based on
petroleum microbiology with application of oil the idea of improving oil recovery from water floods
recovery by producing polysaccharide slime in situ from an
injected microbial system based on molasses.
resulting in the Updegraff’s patent (1957) based on

application
In Conclusion,
MEOR research was boosted by the
petroleum crisis (1970s) and later became a
scientific substantiton EOR method.
