Abstract
After decades of patent applications and questionable projects, well documented field tests of microbial enhancement of oil recovery are now being reported. These are based on the use of bacteria as agents underground to control fluid flow through selective plugging of channels in the oil reservoir, to enhance the release of oil from waterflood operations through surfactant and gas production, and to increase flow from carbonate reservoirs through acid dissolution of the rock itself.
