The injection of seawater into a hydrocarbon reservoir (seawater flooding) as a secondary or
tertiary oil recovery method is associated with two possibly significant challenges. First, the …

Removal of sulfate from the injection seawater (desulfation) in hydrocarbon reservoirs is a
Modified Salinity Water (MSW) flooding method that mitigates microbial reservoir souring …

Hydraulic fracturing of black shale formations has greatly increased United States oil and
natural gas recovery. However, the accumulation of biomass in subsurface reservoirs and …

Various aspects of the oil fields in terms of microbial activity (souring, biocorrosion, etc.) and
oil production (polymer flooding, etc.) have been evaluated through a variety of experiments …

Abstract Perchlorate (ClO 4−) and chlorate (ClO 3−) are ubiquitous on Earth and ClO 4− has
also been found on Mars. These species can play important roles in geochemical processes …

The genetic and biochemical basis of perchlorate-dependent H2S oxidation (PSOX) was
investigated in the dissimilatory perchlorate-reducing microorganism (DPRM) Azospira …

Hydraulic fracturing of black shale formations has greatly increased United States oil and
natural gas recovery. However, the accumulation of biomass in subsurface reservoirs and …

Iron and sulfide toxicities are among the main abiotic stresses that disturb rice productivity in
irrigated rice fields in West Africa. Many lowlands are affected and several are deserted due …

Flooding oil reservoirs with water alters the environment of the reservoir in many ways, such
as lowering the temperature and disturbing the ionic composition of the formation water …
