This study was carried out to understand microbial diversity and function in the microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) process and to assess the impact of MEOR treatment on the microbial community in an oil reservoir. The Illumina MiSeq-based method was used to investigate the structure and dynamics of the microbial community in a MEOR-treated block of the Baolige oilfield, China. The results showed that microbial diversity was high and that 23 phyla occurred in the analyzed samples. Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Thermotogae, and Euryarchaeota were present in relatively high abundance in all analyzed samples. Injection of bacteria and nutrients resulted in interesting changes in the composition of the microbial community. During MEOR treatment, the community was dominated by the known hydrocarbon-utilizing generaPseudomonasandAcinetobacter. After the treatment, the two genera decreased in abundance over time while Methanobacteriaceae, as well as known syntrophic genera such asSyntrophomonas,Pelotomaculum,Desulfotomaculum, andThermacetogeniumgradually increased. The change in dominant microbial populations indicated the presence of a succession of microbial communities over time, and the hydrocarbon degradation and syntrophic oxidation of acetate and propionate to methane in the MEOR-treated oilfield. This work contributes to a better understanding of microbial processes in oil reservoirs and helps to optimize MEOR technology.
