factor in extraction wells.
The Technology of Hydrocarbons Recovery using Microbes (IMP-RHVM) uses microorganisms found in oil samples that already produce metabolites like carbon dioxide, solvents and acids to increase the recovery factor.
In Mexico, where hydrocarbon extraction is performed with primary and secondary technologies (corresponding to the natural flow and water injection), about 30 percent oil is obtained; meaning that 70 percent remains in the reservoir, hence the importance of such methods, says Doctor un Biotechnology Patricia Olguin, project leader.
