Abstract
To date, a tremendous amount of research effort was directed at UAE University to investigate the possibility of using bacteria to improve the oil recovery in UAE oil reservoirs. One such project focused initially on the study of the interfacial tension (IFT) between crudes from four different UAE reservoirs (BH, UZ, St, and UAD) and a thermophilic bacteria solution. Results of laboratory studies show an abrupt reduction in IFT at high salinity and high temperature for all studied systems except for the St crude, which was sulfur rich.
