Abstract

Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is a promising technique that utilizes microorganism metabolic activities to enhance oil recovery from reservoirs. This laboratory investigation focuses on the synergy between Oboboru clay and Acinebacter sp. in enhancing crude oil recovery. The clay sample's specific gravity and pH indicate the presence of montmorillonite mineral and slight acidity. Analysis of oxide composition reveals high levels of silicon oxide (SiO
