Microbe-induced fluid viscosity variation: field-scale simulation, sensitivity and geological uncertainty

Abstract This study is intended to expand the scope of microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) simulation studies from 1D to field scale focussing on fluid viscosity variation and heterogeneity that lacks in most MEOR studies. Hence, we developed a model that incorporates: (1) reservoir simulation of...
