Very intriguing. Wonder if this is similar to bacteria which someone used to help clean up BP

Gulf spill.  I thought that bacteria ate the oil, but perhaps we could harvest them and squeze the oil out?

Nevertheless, I have couple of abandoned wells on my property which I would like to experiment with.. If only I could cultivate the right bacteria. Any bacteriologist out there want to help me? Or maybe my daughter who is a biologist maybe could help me.

Maybe you could pour some beans down those wells...

Bio-Star Inc.( USA)  has been in business for 20 yrs. A parafin like substance builds up on the oil well drill bits. This bacteria basically eats it off so the bits work more efficiently. Bio-Star is a world wide business. So it seems to me that Glori should do really well with their science.  I personally use a friendly bacteria from a company called Bio-Pure to keep the drains in my home working well and to balance the bacterial level in my septic system. Rock on good bacteria!

If anyone wants info on either of these companies please reply. I can vouch for both of them.
