How To Transform Old Fields into New Opportunities

Think about this: The average oil field only recovers about 30% of its oil. That means twice as much oil remains trapped underground in most mature fields. What if you could access that untapped resource without major investments or operational overhauls?

That’s where we come in. We’re ESal, a Wyoming-based company with a simple but powerful mission: Helping you recover more oil from fields you already operate. 

 

After a decade of research, thousands of experiments and real-world field implementations, we’ve developed a game-changing approach to oil recovery. Out patented RightWater formulation technology modifies injection water chemistry to significantly boost production at a remarkably low cost – typically less than $2 per additional barrel. 

 

Let’s talk about what it means for your production and bottom line today with a no-risk preliminary test from ESal on one of your wells. 

The Ultimate Enhanced Oil Recovery Method

“Current technology leaves behind 65% of oil in the reservoir.
ESal can recover a lot of that oil and the profit that comes with it.
It's your lowest cost oil.”
Geoffrey Thyne
Chief Technology Officer, ESal

Our industry uses the term Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR). It means the total reserves you can potentially recover. But how accurate is that number? Our projections have been accurate to within 1-3% .

Now, you’ll understand why Engineered Salinity gives you more in defining and proving the recovery numbers for your asset.

ESal uses just water salinity changes to increase recovery by as much as 100% using existing infrastructure, procedures and processes without chemicals.  It is fully compatible with other EOR technologies, highly predictable, minimizes risk and avoids formation damage.

The ESal Approach: Science Meets Simplicity

Oil recovery doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. We take a methodical, scientific approach tailored specifically to your field conditions. 

 

Here’s how it works:
We analyze samples of your field’s water, rock and oil to design the perfect injection water chemistry – what we call your RightWater™ formulation. 

 

Our comprehensive screening tools and laboratory analysis ensure your field will benefit before you invest and our predictive modeling gives you accurate forecasts of the expected yield increases.

 

Throughout this journey, we work as your partner – screening, testing and deploying our technology alongside your team. We’ve successfully performed dozens of field screens and tests, leading to multiple successful implementations with production increases that match our predictions.

 

And perhaps most importantly, we’re so confident in our results that we only get paid when you see increased production. That’s right – we don’t make money unless we make YOU more money!

WHY US?

Why Oil & Gas Field Operators Choose ESal

When field operators partner with us, they discover what makes our approach truly different: 

Guaranteed Results: Implementing ESal’s Rightwater Formulation water chemistry increases operators’ additional oil recovery in two ways:
First, monthly pumping production will increase by 10-25% in most targeted fields, with some offshore operation
s seeing recovery jumps from 35% to 52%. Second, targeted fields can be expected to extend their yield life from between 10 to 25 additional years. 

Improved Capital Position: The combination of these two tangible yield boosts means that it is possible to rebook reserves with the additional oil we will help you recover. A successful pilot test can be used to increase your reserve calculations.

Minimal Disruption: Your current infrastructure and operations remain essentially unchanged – we work with what you already have in place. 

Quick Impact: Production increases typically begin with 6-9 months of implementation.

Enhanced Field Performance: Many clients report reduced plugging, scaling and corrosion issues as a welcome side benefit. 

Low Risk, High Reward: ESal’s comprehensive well and field pre-screening and final RightwaterTM formulation development are now so precise that ESal absolutely guarantees the results with a performance-based payment model. ESal doesn’t make money unless we make YOU more money.


ESal can help unlock the untapped potential in your oil fields. With our decades of experience and scientifically-proven approach, we’re ready to help you recover more from what you already have.


It's Not Just Oil.
It's The Greenest Oil
In The World.

It’s safe to say that, by far, most of the environmental problems associated with oil come from exploration and drilling, followed by production and disposal of oilfield brines. Modern oilfields often have a well every few hundred feet, wreaking havoc on the landscape.

 

Make no mistake – in the big picture, we’re in the midst of a huge energy transition, approaching the end of using carbon-based, non-renewable fuels. Oil has always been inexpensive to some degree but in the coming years, we’re going to see oil become far more expensive to get the same barrel. That means more drilling conventional wells in more remote regions and unconventional wells in your neighborhood. Not to mention at greater disturbance to the world’s most pristine ecosystems and people’s lives – not exactly great for public relations.

 

So what’s the alternative? And how much of a hassle will it be to implement it?

 

Surprisingly, it’s remarkably smooth as far as the transition goes because it’s merely improving the efficiency of your current approach.

Instead of more CAPEX, more drilling, more exploring and more digging up natural surroundings in the name of getting more oil, Engineered Salinity can extract twice as much oil as you currently do from an unlikely place – the existing wells you already have, which have been producing oil for decades, but which have so much more untapped reserves.

 

ESal isn’t cutting holes in pristine prairies or tearing up forests. No, we’re only going to the already developed fields and utilizing the resources in place. And that aligns with a U.S. regulatory environment that’s the strictest of its kind.

 

It’s the greenest oil you can get. Period.
