Is there room for improvements on microbial techniques?
We believe there is considerable room for improvement in microbial survey methods. The approach is conceptually correct for surface oil exploration. That is why CTE is cooperating with a university for some time and recently with partners to develop a new technique that eliminates the shortcomings we report here and earlier (Sleat and von der Dick, 1989). The goal is to overcome the deficiencies of current microbial methods.
