Examples and Applications of
BIO-CATALYZED EXTRACTION
Up to 55% of the original oil can remain unrecovered in a reservoir. GTx-Oil helps the oil industry to explore microbial-enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) more effectively.
RESERVOIR BIOSOURING
One of the major problems in the oil industry is the production of H2S. GTx-Oil allows the development of more efficient methods for controlling biosouring as well as the identification of oil fields with a lower propensity for biosouring.
BLOCKING BIOCORROSION
Corrosion induced by microbes is a major source of metal degradation in oil pipelines. GTx-Oil offers a diagnostic test for this problem. It also allows the definition of the optimal biocide formulation and dosage for effective microbial control of oil and gas facilities.
CONTROL OF TAILING PONDS
GTx-Oil allows the identification of the microbial communities that are active in tailing ponds, helping the development of strategies to accelerate settling and minimize toxicity and green-house emissions.
PROSPECTION OF PRODUCTIVE FIELDS
Some bacterial species can be found around seeps and can serve as a valuable layer of information to more conventional geological data to de-risk offshore exploration.
BIOREMEDIATION OF CONTAMINATED ENVIRONMENTS
GTx-Oil provides actionable recommendation regarding the clean-up of contaminated sites
IMPROVED ENVIRONMENTAL RISK ASSESSMENT AND COMPLIANCE
Genetic analyses of the environment are useful in the establishment of detailed baselines, in the monitoring of fluctuations and in the assessment of cumulative impacts
