The Application of Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery Technology in Shengli Oilfield

摘要

For the last 20 years Shengli oilfield has done research into the application of microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR). The authors summarize and analyze MEOR progress in mechanism research and field application in Shengli oilfield. The results indicate MEOR could improve oil recovery after water flooding and polymer flooding with multiple mechanisms. Cumulative oil increment of MEOR application on seven blocks was 212,366 t. The research and application of MEOR should concentrate on air assisted microbial flooding and indigenous microbial flooding in the future.
