Microbial enhanced oil recovery: interfacial tension and biosurfactant-bacteria growth

Abstract Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is a method that utilises bacteria or bioproducts to increase oil recovery at the tertiary stage. Clostridium sp. produces biosurfactant that alters rock–fluid properties and increases oil detachment. The interaction between bacteria and surfactant is...
