Studies on Cultivation and Core Simulated Test of Bacillus TP-1 for Microbial Profile Modification

Abstract:

A facultative anaerobic bacterium. Bacillus TP-1 isolated from oil field wastewater could produce viscous polysaccharide and gas under oil reservoir condition at 55℃.The polysaccharide can produced 5.5 g/L and the output of gas was 22 mL/L. The viscous polysaccharide production was favorable in the lower concentration of CaCl2, MgSO4 and AlCl3. The results of core simulated tests showed that pressure was increased and oil recovery was enhanced by 7.37% after the bacteria injection. TP-1 strain has most of the desirable properties for microbial profile modification.
