Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery Market: By Sites, By Technology, and Region Forecast 2020-2031
Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery Market: By Sites, By Technology, and Region Forecast 2020-2031
Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery Market size was valued at US$ 1,507.0 million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 3,352.3 million by 2031, growing at a significant CAGR of 12.1% from 2025-2031. Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is a tertiary oil recovery method consisting of manipulating the function or structure of microbial environments in oil reservoirs where microorganisms, their activity, or their by-products increase oil recovery through reduced interfacial tension, formations of stable oil-water emulsions, or bio-plugging. The ultimate aim of microbial-enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is the improvement of the recovery of oil entrapped in porous media to increase profits. Increasing microbial-enhanced oil recovery market demand for full utilization of oil and gas reserves to maximize profit is the key market driver of the market.
Moreover, increasing demands for energy fuels and crude oil are fuelling the global market growth. The enhanced oil recovery process has various advantages such as being cost-effective, increasing oil production significantly, optimizing production, enhancing efficiency, and decreasing the complexity of upstream processes. Also, the increasing number of mature wells, rising demand for cleaner sources for extracting oil, and increasing prices of crude oil will boost the microbial-enhanced oil recovery market growth rate.
However, the fluctuating prices of crude oil depend upon world economics which can be a major restrain in the microbial-enhanced oil recovery market growth. The increasing adoption rate of renewable energy and growing awareness about environmental sustainability can also decrease the demand for crude oil which will directly hamper the market growth. Even though heavy oil reserves are present in various countries, its production is a key opportunity in the global market. Thus, increasing heavy oil production will boost the global market. Geographically, North America held the major market share and is expected to dominate the market in the forecasted years.

The increasing number of mature wells is boosting the growth in the global microbial enhanced oil recovery market. Along with that, the rising demand for cleaner sources for extracting oil is also a key driver in the market. Increasing mature wells and the number of global oil companies leads to the increasing deployment of microbial-enhanced oil recovery techniques. Although, its deprived performance of technique against the peer chemical techniques is restraining the market. However, strict government regulations regarding the usage of chemical techniques boost the global market for enhanced microbial oil recovery techniques. Hence, global companies are currently focused on increasing recovery and extending the life of mature fields by using microbial-enhanced oil recovery technologies.
Based on regions, the market share is divided into North America, Asia-pacific, Europe, and the Middle East, and the African region. The microbial-enhanced oil recovery market in North America is likely to hold a significant revenue share in 2021, and, in the following years, it is predicted to increase rapidly. It is due to the growth in unconventional resources in the Gulf of Mexico, and the continuous development of shale reserves in the US. Asia Specific region is also growing at a faster rate due to the increasing number of new wells.
