| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Exploration of geochemical signatures for methanogenic crude oil degradation in domestic oilfields revealed that some of the domestic oilfields were characterized by the enrichment of 13C in CO2, propane and n-butane in the gas and the depletion of n-alkanes relative to i-alkanes in the oil, and a significant methane production was observed in a long-term incubation of the production water and crude oil under the condition mimicking temperature and pressure of the oil reservoir. 13C-tracer experiment and hydrocarbon composition analysis suggested that alkylbenzenes such as toluene are the primary source materials, and bacterial metagenomic analysis further revealed that the dominant species have the enzymes for degradation of alkylbenzenes. We have demonstrated that microbes in the reservoirs are converting crude oil to methane in the oilfields with geochemical signatures of crude oil biodegradation.
