        enhanced oil recovery, MEOR, is a biological 
        treatment that is fast becoming an accepted method of maximizing oil and 
        gas production. With over 235 papers published and countless successful 
        treatments implemented worldwide, the technology regarding bacterial treatments 
        is gaining popularity and credibility. These treatments can remove paraffin-based 
        skin damage from formation faces, control scale, reduce corrosion and 
        acid damage, increase methane gas production and lead to significant increases in oil and gas production in under performing fields.  |
