Publisher's Synopsis
This volume is concerned with many aspects of petroleum microbiology and biochemistry, all with strong commercial applications. World-wide research on the major topic, MEOR (Microbially Enhanced Oil Recovery) is comprehensively covered under experimental work, field applications and modelling. The challenge of formulating a complete in situ MEOR system (micro-organisms, nutrient package, and other amendments) is explored together with the future needs in the design and execution of this new biotechnology.
