Carbon dioxide-enhanced oil recovery (CO 2-EOR) has gained widespread attention in light
of the declining conventional oil reserves. Moreover, CO 2-EOR contributes to the reduction …

The world continues to rely heavily on petroleum as a primary energy source. However, a
great fraction of the oil-in-place remains inaccessible to traditional recovery means. This …

A significant quantum of crude oil is trapped in reservoirs and often unrecoverable by
conventional oil recovery methods. Further downstream, the petroleum industry is facing …

Abstract To enable Alberta, Canada to reduce CO 2 emissions by 30% from 2005 levels by
2030, we investigate carbon capture and storage (CCS) opportunities in Alberta, Canada by …

Microbial communities and their functions in subsurface petroleum reservoirs are crucially
important for better understanding of biogeochemical processes and life forms in extreme …

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

To decarbonize Canada's heavy oil and oil sands operations, we propose replacing natural
gas as fuel by hydrogen, which can be produced by steam methane reforming with carbon …

Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is a method that utilises bacteria or bioproducts to
increase oil recovery at the tertiary stage. Clostridium sp. produces biosurfactant that alters …

A novel Bacillus licheniformis strain (DM-1) was isolated from a mature reservoir in Dagang
oilfield of China. DM-1 showed unique properties to utilize petroleum hydrocarbons and …

A switchable solvent with a diamine structure called N, N, N′, N′-tetraethyl-1, 3-
propanediamine (TEPDA) has been synthesized through an alkylation reaction. This solvent …
