Microbes and Beneficial Microbes

Microbial Biotechnology

Microbial technology, the research team aims to increase hydrocarbon recovery factor in extraction wells. The   Technology of Hydrocarbons Recovery using Microbes uses microorganisms found in oil samples that already produce metabolites like carbon dioxide, solvents and acids to increase the recovery factor. The Technology of Hydrocarbons Recovery using Microbes (IMP-RHVM) uses microorganisms found in oil samples that already produce metabolites like carbon dioxide, solvents and acids to increase the recovery factor. Where hydrocarbon extraction is performed with primary and secondary technologies (corresponding to the natural flow and water injection), about 30 percent oil is obtained; meaning that 70 percent remains in the reservoir, hence the importance of such methods. Cultivating microorganisms in the laboratory of Biotechnology and Hydrocarbons Recovery at the IMP from samples obtained from wells.
