Abstract
A method of microbial enhanced oil recovery from an oil-bearing formation that involves treating the water that is to be injected into the oil-bearing formation to enable microbial activity and adding oxygen to aid microbial activity. The treatment applied to the water is based, at least in part, upon establishing at least one condition in the oil-bearing formation favorable to microbial activity that enhances movement of oil from the oil-bearing formation.
