Abstract

Jatropha curcas plant has been known for significant benefits such as for house protection, medicinal uses, biodiesel substitution and many more. The Jatropha oil extracted from Jatropha seeds gained global attention mainly in packaging industries as this oil was used as carbon source for production of Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) due to non-edible food source thus mitigates the global food issue crisis. Besides that, previous study showed that PHB gave good result than Xanthan Gum (XG) as plugging agent for soil remediation and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) application. In the meantime, polymer flooding (PF) one of method applied in (EOR) application need polymer which has good thermal stability when applied in high temperature reservoir. In PF, water-soluble polymer was used.
