Abstract: Biological technology, especially microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) technology has been paid great attention to in the world. Some pilot tests of MEOR have taken preliminary effects at home and abroad. The typical cases are found in America and Russia. Some field tests are also made in Jilin and Shengli oilfields of China,and have taken inspiring effects of incremental oil production. . Meanwhile, with the development of science and technology, some advanced tools of microbiology such as molecular biology , tracer and vi-sualization technologies etc. have entered into investigating field of MEOR , and become important tools for its mechanism studies. In ad-dition, a series of results have been obtained in relevant theory of hydrocarbon degradation and mathematic model, too. MEOR is being applied from single well treatment toward whole block or field area with distinctive benefits.

Key words: MEOR, mathematic model, tracer monitoring
