Dissimilatory sulphate reduction is the unifying and defining trait of sulphate-reducing
prokaryotes (SRP). In their predominant habitats, sulphate-rich marine sediments, SRP have …

Souring in oilfield systems is most commonly due to the action of sulfate-reducing
prokaryotes, a diverse group of anaerobic microorganisms that respire sulfate and produce …

Corrosion occurs due to chemical or electrochemical reactions between the environment
and metal. It can cause dangerous and expensive damage to a wide range of industries …

Sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) inhabit oilfield
production systems. Sulfur oxidation driven by SOB and dissimilatory sulfate reduction …

Fundamentals of Enhanced Oil and Gas Recovery from Conventional and Unconventional
Reservoirs delivers the proper foundation on all types of currently utilized and upcoming …

In offshore production facilities, large amounts of deaerated seawater are continuously
injected to maintain pressure in oil reservoirs and equivalent volumes of fluids, composed of …

Microorganisms are responsible for degrading the raw leachate generated in sanitary
landfills, extracting the soluble fraction of the landfill waste and biotransforming organic …

Oil reservoir souring by the microbial reduction of sulfate to sulfide is unwanted, because it
enhances corrosion of metal infrastructure used for oil production and processing. Reservoir …

Microbial communities in shale oil fields are still poorly known. We obtained samples of
injection, produced and facility waters from a Bakken shale oil field in Saskatchewan …

To investigate the spatial distribution of microbial communities and their drivers in petroleum
reservoir environments, we performed pyrosequencing of microbial partial 16S rRNA …
