Abstract
The invention discloses a method for adjusting and controlling microbial enhanced oil recovery, which comprises the following steps: (1) analyzing the microbial community structure in produced fluid of an oil reservoir via molecular biological method and/or detecting the metabolites in the produced fluid; (2) adjusting the microorganism(s) to be injected into the oil reservoir and/or the nutrient system corresponding to the microorganism(s); (3) injecting the adjusted microorganism(s) and/or the nutrient system corresponding to the microorganism(s) into the oil reservoir through a water injection well; and (4) obtaining the crude oil from a corresponding beneficial oil producing well. Compared with the prior art, the method of the present invention adjusts microbial community structure in the oil reservoir to evolve toward the direction of facilitating oil production, and the performance of the functional microorganism(s) can be completely realized; the nutrient system is pertinently injected to avoid the blindness of using the nutrient system. Therefore, the method is scientific, economical and effective for the microbial enhanced oil recovery.
