MICROBIOLOGICAL METHOD OF PROSPECTING FOR HYDROCARBON EXPLORATION

摘要

The present invention provides an efficient and faster microbiological method of prospecting for subsurface hydrocarbon deposits exploration, wherein samples of soil from the area under investigation were analyzed for a direct enumeration of hydrocarbon consuming microorganisms present at the time of sampling in a more efficient and faster way. The process as disclosed herein is easy, reproducible, accurate, and cost effective.
