Abstract
A thermophilic bacterium of NA-3 was isolated from produced fluid in Shengli oilfield,and identified that it was a member of Bacillus sp.The NA-3 is Gram-positive,rod-shaped in(0.5-(0.8)μm×(1.4)-2.5)μm,facultative anaerobe and motive.The optimum growth temperature is 70 ℃,pH is 7.0.salinity resist is 10 g/L.NA-3 could reduce nutritive fluid surface tension from 72 mN/m to 34 mN/m,pH from(7.0) to 5.2.Experiment shows that NA-3 can enhance the oil recovery to 11-15 percent,and it has great potential application in microbial enhanced oil recovery.
