Drilling operations of petroleum generate oily wastes. The disposal of a significant amount of oil-based drill muds has caused soil contamination and critical environmental impacts in the last decades.The current study aimed to investigate the potential of microbial remediation for an aged oil-based drilling waste and to monitor the fluctuation in microbial population throughout a ...

Bioremoval and bioreduction activities of hydrocarbon (diesel) isolation from environmental samples were studied by the activity of biosurfactant production, and calculating emulsification index, gravimetric, and FTIR analysis along with the estimation of bacterial biomass. Sample from soil near petrol, diesel pumps and water sample from Thesjaswini River near Padannakad, Kasaragod, Kerala, Ind...

Petroleum hydrocarbon contamination is a major global prevalent issue in the petroleum sector. This research focuses on evaluating biodegradation of three Gram-negative bacilli, isolated from cowpea planted soil, contaminated with kerosene. The Gram negative bacilli strains have been characterized and identified, using MicrobactTM ID24E systems for the identification of Enterobacteriaceae and c...

natural gas is one of the hydrocarbon resources which is consumed vastly in the world. the asian and european markets, facing with a growing demand of hydrocarbon resources especially natural gas, are the most important consuming markets. hence, the security of natural gas supply is very important. based on the estimation of gas supply security index (gssi), the amount of vulnerability of selec...

Coal, which is usually land plant in origin, occurs in many oil-producing basins. Microscopically, coal consists of various macerals (liptinite, vitrinite, and inertinite). The generative potential of coal reflects the hydrocarbon potential of the composing macerals (Kelly et al., 1985). Although most coals consist of predominantly vitrinite, some contain significant amounts (>20% of total mace...
