Abstract

We performed kinetic studies of the growth of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) indigenous to the water in an oilfield in Japan. The SRB growth was most active in injection water supplemented with ethanol; therefore, the SRB inhabiting the injection water of the reservoir were assumed to grow predominantly by assimilating sulfate and ethanol and generating H₂S. Based on this mechanism and the results of incubation experiments in the injection water, we derived numerical models that calculate the growth rate and H₂S generation of the SRB under three variables (temperature, sulfate concentration, and ethanol concentration).
