Biotechnology is used in Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR). In order to increase production, it causes structural or functional modifications in microbial habitats. Similar microbiological settings can be found in oil reservoirs. These conditions restrict or inhibit the circulation of oil contained within porous material, which is frequently unregulated naturally. The most popular Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery technique, solvent-free extraction, is utilised to recover unconventional oils including tar sands and heavy oil. High-value oils like jet fuel and diesel are extracted by the use of supercritical fluid extraction. Gas oil and bitumen, two medium- and high-value oils, are recovered by carbon dioxide extraction. Oil is extracted from hard rocks using steam-assisted gravity drainage.
