Description	Heavy oil, characterized by high viscosities and high densities compared to conventional oil, occupies a large portion of oil in China. Nowadays, with the ever-increasing energy consumption, production of heavy oil is considered to be important in the future even if maintaining production wells needs expensive chemical and physical treatments. A key step of all treatments to enhance oil recovery (EOR) of heavy oil is to reduce viscosity of crude oil (Butler & Mokrys 1991). EOR techniques include chemical and physical methods. Chemical methods include the usage of solvents and surfactants (Jiang et al. 2014). Thermal methods involve the treatment of wells with hot fluids and steam injection (Wang 2012). Compared to high cost of chemical and physical EOR technologies, microbial-enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is an important tertiary oil recovery method, which is a cost-effective and ecofriendly technology to drive the oil trapped in the reservoirs (Banat et al. 2010). MEOR processes neither consume a large amount of energy as thermal processes nor depend on price of the crude oil as many chemical processes. Moreover, microorganisms can synthesize useful products by fermenting low-cost substrates or raw materials. Two main mechanisms are involved in MEOR. Book Name: Energy and the Environment
