The importance of biotechnology in various areas of human activity has become increasingly obvious in recent years. This determines the interest that, in our opinion, this book represents. It is aimed primarily at specialists engaged in the development of biotechnologies, as well as oil practitioners. The purpose of this book is to give the most complete, in — depth understanding of what oil production biotechnology is. However, it would be frivolous to say that this book exhaustively covers this topic. It is intended to arouse the interest of researchers and practitioners to this problem and give a General idea about it. This is essentially only the basis of some of the main research areas that can be attributed to the field of oil production biotechnologies, as well as an assessment of the principles that are the basis for the development of such technologies. At the same time, we believe that this book can be a good introduction to most of the main problems of oil production biotechnology. The book is intended not only for oil practitioners and specialists in the field of microbial biotechnologies, but also for a wide range of readers. It will be very useful for a student, an engineer specializing in the field of biotechnology of oil field development, as well as scientists to read this book.

Marginal Field

Abstract The objective of the study was to examine the assertion that marginal oil field development remains one of the economic fortunes of Niger Delta region in Nigeria. This is evident with its shares in the region power output as well as its contribution to the industrialization. Multiple case studies of marginal oil field operations corroborate the relationship between marginal field development and economic fortunes of Niger Delta region. Marginal field firms provide electricity to the host communities where they operate. Also, industries are fed with natural gas from marginal field operating in the region. The marginal field operators ensures that host communities are getting electricity. Also cement factory is fed from natural gas operating in the area. However, the management of marginal field resources has been far from being optimally beneficial. The real issue is how to manage the marginal field for the welfare of the people. Against this background, the study findings suggested that the country marginal field wealth be used to implement people-oriented programmes for better welfare spread.
