APPLICATION OF GEO-MICROBIOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES TO OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT
地质微生物技术在油气勘探开发中的应用

In this article, the two geo-microbiological techniques applied to oil and gas industry, the Microbial Prospecting of Oil and Gas (MPOG) and the Microbial Enhancement of Oil Recovery (MEOR), are systematically summarized, in the meanwhile the experimental methods, main characteristics and so on are briefly depicted, at last the successful case histories of the Germany, American, Russian and Chinese experience are numerated. Through practice of MPOG and MEOR, it should be paid much attention to the basic theoretical research, and at the same time, it will have fundamental influence on the great improvement of Chinese oil and gas prospecting and oil recovery to train large amount of multiple-discipline scientists of geology and microbiology and to develop our own a set of geo-bio-tech.
