Abstract
The technology to enhance oil recovery of oil-bearing strata based on the targeted activation of stratal microflora and, first of all, hydrocarbon-oxidizing and methanogenic bacteria, was developed. The first stage of activation involves the aeration of water pumped into a stratum with mineral nitrogen and phosporus salts added
