Research Abstract |
This research project has aimed to decipher the mechanisms of methanogenic crude oil biodegradation in deep subsurface oil reservoirs in order to develop the technology of energy recovery by conversion to methane from depleted oil reservoirs remaining a large amount of crude oil by using microorganisms inhabiting oil reservoirs. We could obtain the finding about the distribution of the potential of methanogenic crude oil biodegradation and the evaluation methods for the depleted oil reservoirs, which contributes to develop the technology of energy recovery by using microorganisms inhabiting oil reservoirs.
