Screening of suitable microbe-nutrient combination and prediction of oil recovery at the initial stage is essential for the success of Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) technique. However, experimental and physics-based modelling approaches are expensive and time-consuming. In this study, Physics Informed Machine Learning (PIML) framework was developed to screen and predict oil recovery at a relatively lesser time and cost with limited experimental data. The screening was done by quantifying the influence of parameters on oil recovery from correlation and feature importance studies. Results revealed that microbial kinetic, operational and reservoir parameters influenced the oil recovery by 50%, 32.6% and 17.4%, respectively. Higher oil recovery is attained by selecting a microbe-nutrient combination having a higher ratio of value between biosurfactant yield and microbial yield parameters, as they combinedly influence the oil recovery by 27%. Neural Network is the best ML model for MEOR application to predict oil recovery (R≈0.99).

Green, efficient treatment of crude oil spills and oil pollutants is a global challenge, with adsorption technology favored for its efficiency and low environmental impact. The development of an environmentally friendly adsorbent with high hydrophobicity, excellent adsorption performance, and degradability is crucial to overcoming the limitations of petroleum-based adsorbents. Here, a lignin-based polyurethane foam (LPUF) with superhydrophobic and photothermal oil-absorbing properties was fabricated by incorporating octadecyltrimethoxysilane into the foam system.

The BZ gas field is the first large gas field in the Bohai Sea of China, with reserves of 100 billion cubic meters. Its formal operation can greatly promote local green and low-carbon development. However, the condensate gas reservoir has characteristics such as a large burial depth, a steep temperature and pressure gradient, high condensate content, developed microfractures, and a small pressure difference between the surface and dew point.

In this study, tetrabutylammonium chloride (TBAC), tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB), and choline chloride (ChCl) were innovatively applied in the liquid-liquid microextraction (LLME) of bisphenol A (BPA) from edible oil by forming water-based deep eutectic solvent (WDES). The presence of water is not only used in the synthesis of WDES, but also modulates the viscosity of DES and improve its diffusion and mass transfer properties. Several crucial parameters affecting the extraction efficiency were examined, including the type and amount of WDES and the extraction time.
