Abstract

A method to improve the effectiveness of MEOR or bioremediation processes has been disclosed. In this method toxic chemicals accumulated in subterranean sites adjacent to the water injection wells are either dispersed or removed prior to introduction of microbial inocula for enhanced microbial oil recovery or bioremediation of these sites.
