Long-Term Pore-Scale Experiments on MEOR by Surfactant-Producing Microorganisms Reveal the Altering Dominant Mechanisms of Oil Recovery
During microbial-enhanced oil recovery (MEOR), surfactant-producing microorganisms are reported to improve displacement efficiency. However, the sweep efficiency could be improved by emulsified droplets or be reduced by low-IFT (interfacial tension)-induced fingering flow. Therefore, whether sweep e...
