Current Situation and Prospect of Microbial Residual Oil Gasification

Abstract:

Most Oilfield of China has been a stage of Oil recovery with high water, microbial residual oil gasification technology as the oilfield's reserves technology has a good application prospect, especially the use of microorganisms for gasification of residual oil. The study has far-reaching significance, and it mainly turns the difficult mining oil reservoir into natural gas (mainly methane) through microbial degradation. It is the most effective, economical and environment-friendly way to enhance oil recovery efficiency and to extend the reservoir life. This paper summarized the relevant principles of oil microbial degradation and gasification, microbial enhanced oil recovery and Residual oil gasification at home and abroad, and come up with a few new research ideas.
