Abstract
This article is an overview of microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) and the potential ofSaccharomycesCerevisiaeto be applied in MEOR. MEOR may have same mechanisms with commercial enhanced oil recovery (EOR) but it used biological approach in improving oil recovery.SaccharomycesCerevisiaeproduced carbon dioxide and ethanol under anaerobic condition. The carbon dioxide and ethanol that produced by this microbe are two from the six main MEOR agents in improving oil recovery. This articles also discussed on previous MEOR pilot projects that were conducted in Argentina, China and Malaysia.
