Oil Recovery
The number one priority of the global petroleum industry is increasing recoveries of oil remaining in maturing fields.  The terminology is Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR).  New EOR processes are needed to commercially withdraw more oil than is possible with conventional methods.  Migration Microbial Oil Recovery (MMEOR) is a new EOR technology that bridges proprietary biotechnology with petroleum engineering as a novel solution to increasing oil recoveries throughout the global petroleum industry.

MMEOR was developed through technology transfer between biotechnology and petroleum engineering.  This new field of Petro-bioengineering is proprietary technology developed by the Company.  The basic process is to convert oil bearing rock formations into effective bioreactors.  This state of the art concept allows oil reservoirs deep below the surface of the earth to sustain life and thrive under high temperatures and pressures in the absence of oxygen.  Specifically selected microbes form a Petro-bioreactor in the porous reservoir rock, migrating outward from the wellbore.  As the microbes metabolize portions of the crude oil the result is improved oil recovery and beneficial bi-products.
