Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for integration of electrolysis with biomass gasification to generate synthesis gas that can be used for production of renewable fuels and/or other hydrocarbonaceous compounds. The hydrocarbonaceous compounds can include compounds formed by chemical synthesis, such as alkanes formed by a Fischer-Tropsch process or methanol formed by a methanol synthesis process; or the hydrocarbonaceous compounds can include compounds formed by fermentation, such as alcohols formed by micro-organisms that use the synthesis gas as an input feed.

Abstract: Oxygenases and methods of biologically upgrading hydrocarbon streams, such as crude oil, using oxygenases are provided herein. The oxygenases can be used to remove impurities such as metals, heteroatoms, or asphaltenes from a hydrocarbon stream. In some cases, the oxygenases can be chemically or genetically modified and can be used in different locations such as petroleum wells, pipes, reservoirs, tanks and/or reactors.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a porous liquid or a porous liquid enzyme that includes a high surface area solid and a liquid film substantially covering the high surface area solid. The porous liquid or porous liquid enzyme may be contacted with a fluid that is immiscible with the liquid film such that a liquid-fluid interface is formed. The liquid film may facilitate mass transfer of a substance or substrate across the liquid-fluid interface. The present disclosure also provides methods of performing liquid-based extractions and enzymatic reactions utilizing the porous liquid or porous liquid enzyme of the present disclosure.

Abstract: A method for identifying in situ presence of a hydrocarbon reservoir or of a pipeline leakage is disclosed. The method can include obtaining a sample from an area of interest, such as a sediment sample or water column sample near a hydrocarbon seep or near an offshore pipeline; analyzing the sample to detect nucleic acid, protein or metabolite signatures that are indicative of cold-shock response; identifying the relative abundance of the cold-shock signatures present in the sample in comparison to the surrounding environment.

Abstract: A method of evaluating subsurface connectivity, including: extracting biological material from samples obtained from a plurality of hydrocarbon wellbores, the biological material including nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids; determining microbial community structures based on the biological material, which includes determining an abundance of various species included in the samples; generating a reservoir connectivity analysis model, wherein the reservoir connectivity analysis model identifies a connectivity between at least two of the plurality of hydrocarbon wellbores in accordance with similarities in the microbial community structures at a plurality of subsurface locations that establish a path of fluid communication between the at least two of the plurality of hydrocarbon wellbores, wherein the reservoir connectivity analysis model includes a timing of the connectivity based on molecular biology; and generating a subsurface image or visualization, from the reservoir connectivity analysis model, that indicates a flow of hydrocarbons in the subsurface between the at least two hydrocarbon wellbores.
