Applied Microbiology and Molecular Biology in Oil Field Systems
addresses the major problems microbes cause in oil fields, (e.g.
biocorrosion and souring) and how beneficial microbial activities
may be exploited (e.g. MEOR and biofuels). The book describes
theoretical and practical approaches to specific Molecular
Microbiological Methods (MMM), and is written by leading
authorities in the field from both academia and industry. The book
describes how MMM can be applied to faciliate better management of
oil reservoirs and downstream processes. The book is innovative in
that it utilises real industrial case studies which gives useful
technical and scientific information to researchers, engineers and
microbiologists working with oil, gas and petroleum systems.

Content Level Professional/practitioner
Microorganisms can be both beneficial and harmful to the oil and
gas industry and therefore there is an increasing need for the oil
industry to characterize, quantify and monitor microbial
communities in real time. Oilfield Microbiology offers a
fundamental insight into how molecular microbiological methods have
enabled researchers in the field to analyze and quantify in situ
microbial communities and their activities in response to changing
environmental conditions. Such information is fundamental to the
oil industry to employ more directed, cost-effective strategies to
prevent the major problems associated with deleterious microbial
activities (e.g., souring and biocorrosion), as well as to
encourage beneficial microbe activity (e.g. oil bioremediation).
The aim of the book is to understand how the technological advances
in molecular microbiological methods over the last two decades are
now being utilized by the oil industry to address the key issues
faced by the sector. This book contains a comprehensive collection
of chapters written by invited experts in the field from academia
and industry and provides a solid foundation of the importance of
microbes to the oil and gas industry. It is aimed at microbial
ecologists, molecular biologists, operators, engineers, chemists,
and academics involved in the sector.
