Microorganisms helps us to drive more oil from the oil-bearing bed
When the reservoir pressure drops the oil field dries up though there is a lot of oil. To pump out the remains one has to apply pressure by pumping into the oil-bearing bed water or gas. Other method - to apply biotechnology. The oil is contaminated with specially bred mi-croorganism strains, which produce gas, acids and surface active agents... view more... (1999-08-18)
Dating Of The Turin Shroad Was Incorrect
