Andanamalavijay Rajesh, Dowluru Svgk Kaladhar

Abstract :

Biotechnology plays a predominant role in discovery and production of hydrocarbon for energy security of the world and thereby plays a pivotal role in oil industry. Oil industry have performed substantial amount of research and applied bioprocesses as complementary technologies on diverse platforms in order to reduce investment and maintenance costs while promising to overcome technological barriers concerning the upgrading of petroleum and gas. The petroleum industry includes biodesulfurization of gasoline and diesel as technical areas of greatest concern and requirement on academic and private efforts on research are to be increased. The roadmap and research on Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) can provide attention on the potentiality of biotechnology to others fields for the oil industry.
