Resumen
The oil industry is of utmost importance to the world economy, presenting itself as one of the most influential not only in the economic but also in the political sector. Several conventional or advanced supplemental recovery methods are applied to remove oil reserves or as much oil as possible. Among these methods is Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery, better known as MEOR, which is an advanced recovery method which consists of injecting bacteria and / or nutrients to displace the oil that remains trapped in the reservoir. The range of possible applications of MEOR is wide, not only restricting the supplemental recovery of oil, but also the biotechnology that is increasingly being studied for application in the oil industry. As this method is still little explored, its use is still restricted in Brazil and a planning policy oriented to reach more knowledge and field applications is necessary. The present work has as main objective to deepen the knowledge about the MEOR through a bibliographic revision, as well as to increase the visibility of the same, since it is still very restricted in relation to its disclosure. Through article studies, it is possible to conclude the importance not only of recovery methods in general, but also the relevance of MEOR as a promising method in the oil industry.
