Crude oil, a major source of energy, is being exploited as a driver of the economy throughout the world. Being a limited resource, the price of crude oil increases constantly and the exploitation of mature reservoirs becomes essential in order to meet the ever-increasing energy demands. As conventional recovery methods are not sufficient to fulfil the growing needs, there is an incessant demand for developing new technologies which can help in efficient tertiary recovery in old reservoirs. Petroleum biotechnology has been emerging as a branch that can provide solutions to major problems in the oil industry, including increasing oil production from marginal oil wells. The enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method comprises four methods – chemical, thermal, miscible, and immiscible gas flooding – as well as microbial interference to increase recovery of the remaining hydrocarbons trapped in reservoir rocks. Biochemically enhanced oil recovery comprises an array of blooming technologies for tertiary oil recovery methods which is eco-friendly, cost-effective, and efficient in extracting the residual oil trapped in reservoir rocks. Biochemical enhanced oil recovery (BcEOR) is based on the principle of using biochemical by-products produced by microbial species to enhance oil recovery, etc. All these technologies work on the principles of reducing viscosity, increasing permeability, modifying solid surfaces, emulsifying through adherence to hydrocarbons, and lowering interfacial tension. BcEOR technologies either employ the beneficial microorganism itself or the biochemical by-products produced by the microbial species to enhance tertiary oil recovery. This review paper discusses the chronological development of biologically enhanced oil recovery and its various mechanisms.

Ropa naftowa jest wykorzystywana na całym świecie jako główne źródło energii. Ze względu na ograniczone zasoby ropy naftowej jej cena stale rośnie, a eksploatacja ze złóż dojrzałych staje się niezbędna do zaspokojenia ciągle zwiększającego się zapotrzebowania na energię. Ponieważ konwencjonalne metody wydobycia nie wystarczają do zaspokojenia coraz większych potrzeb, istnieje nieustanne zapotrzebowanie na rozwój nowych technologii, które mogą pomóc w efektywnym wspomaganiu wydobycia ze starych złóż metodami trzecimi. Ostatnio biotechnologia naftowa staje się gałęzią, która dostarcza rozwiązań dotyczących głównych problemów przemysłu naftowego, w tym zwiększenia wydobycia ropy z brzeżnych odwiertów ropnych. Wspomaganie wydobycia ropy naftowej (EOR) obejmuje cztery rodzaje metod: chemiczne, termiczne, tzw. mieszające i niemieszające wypieranie ropy gazem, a także oddziaływanie mikrobiologiczne w celu zwiększenia wydobycia węglowodorów uwięzionych w skałach złożowych. Biochemiczne metody wspomagania wydobycia ropy naftowej to szereg rozwijających się technologii dla trzecich metod wspomagania wydobycia, które są przyjazne dla środowiska, racjonalne pod względem kosztów i efektywne, jeżeli chodzi o wydobycie ropy rezydualnej uwięzionej w skałach złożowych. Biochemiczne wspomaganie wydobycia ropy naftowej (BcEOR) oparte jest na zasadzie, zgodnie z którą biochemiczne produkty uboczne wytwarzane przez gatunki drobnoustrojów są wykorzystywane do wspomagania wydobycia ropy naftowej itp. Wszystkie te technologie działają na takich zasadach jak: zmniejszenie lepkości, zwiększenie przepuszczalności, modyfikacja powierzchni ciał stałych, emulgowanie poprzez adhezję do węglowodorów, obniżenie napięcia międzyfazowego. Technologie BcEOR albo wykorzystują pożyteczny mikroorganizm jako taki, albo wykorzystują biochemiczne produkty uboczne wytwarzane przez gatunki drobnoustrojów w trzecich metodach wspomagania wydobycia ropy naftowej. W niniejszym artykule przeglądowym omówiono chronologiczny rozwój biologicznych metod wspomagania wydobycia ropy naftowej i ich różne mechanizmy.
