Abstract
There are many known Enhanced Oil Recovery EOR methods and every method has its criteria to use it. One of those methods is the microbial EOR. It has been the contributor to global enhanced oil recovery. MEOR has shown its potential as a tertiary oil recovery method. the microorganisms require only cheaper substrates to perform MEOR, so from an economical point of view. The main objective in this research to isolate the bacteria from the crude oil in X field in sirt company and study it is effect on both EOR and surface facility to protect it from corrosion. The MEOR test has been done at different concentration and different temperatures (anaerobic and used temperature 30°C, 40°C, 55°C,70°C). The bacteria have shown not effective method to use it as EOR method while it has given a good result to use it as agent to protect the surface facility from the corrosion.
