Abstract

Highlights: [•] Hyperthermophilic, alkalophilic, halophilic bacteria enriched from oil well. [•] Bacterial consortium enhanced oil recovery at 96°C in core flood studies. [•] 96°C is the highest temperature reported for Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery. [•] Microbial metabolites aiding oil recovery at 96°C were identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
