Bacteria in the injection water differently impacts the bacterial communities of production wells in high-temperature petroleum reservoirs

Water flooding is widely used for oil recovery. However, how the introduction of bacteria via water flooding affects the subsurface ecosystem remains unknown. In the present study, the distinct bacterial communities of an injection well and 6 adjacent production wells were revealed using denaturing...
