Isotopic insights into microbial sulfur cycling in oil reservoirs

Isotopic insights into microbial sulfur cycling in oil reservoirs

Microbial sulfate reduction in oil reservoirs (biosouring) is often associated with secondary oil production where seawater containing high sulfate concentrations (~28 mM) is injected into a reservoir to maintain pressure and displace oil. The sulfide generated from biosouring can cause corrosion of...
