Oil Recovery Solutions
Solving The
Toughest Recovery Challenges
The Reality of
Today's Mature Fields
You’re facing a common dilemma in today’s oil and gas industry: You have valuable assets in mature fields where standard recovery methods are yielding diminishing returns. The easy oil is gone. Production is declining. Operating costs remain constant or increase. And you’re under pressure to:
- Maximize recovery from existing assets
- Extend field life without major capital expenditures
- Maintain production rates to meet financial targets
- Minimize environmental impact while improving economics
- Justify continuing operations in mature fields
Traditional enhanced oil recovery (EOR) options present their own challenges – high implementation costs, long lead times, complex operations, and uncertain returns. You need a solution that works with what you already have in place, delivers quick results, and provides predictable returns.
A Breakthrough Approach to Recovery
After years of research and field implementation, we’ve solved a puzzle that has long confounded the industry:
Why do some water chemistry modifications dramatically increase recovery while others fail to deliver?
The answers are found in the complex interaction between water chemistry, rock properties, and oil characteristics. While others have tried simple salinity reduction with mixed results, we’ve developed a scientific, predictive approach that takes the guesswork out of the equation.
Our RightWater™ formulation technology works by precisely altering the wettability of your reservoir through carefully calibrated water chemistry modifications.
This allows oil that was previously trapped to flow freely, increasing your monthly yields and significantly extending the productive life of your field.
What makes our approach truly revolutionary is that it:
Works with your existing waterflooding infrastructure
Requires no expensive chemical additives
Produces results in months. Not years.
Costs less than $2 per additional barrel recovered
Works in both carbonate and sandstone reservoirs
Has a payment schedule tied entirely to achieving the results forecast by setting the production increase and field extension life baselines. We don’t make money unless we make YOU more money!
We don't just have a theory.
We have proven field results.
- In sandstone reservoirs, we’ve consistently achieved 10-15% additional recovery of original oil in place.
- In an offshore chalk field, we increased estimated ultimate recovery from 35% to 52%.
- Our field implementations have matched our laboratory predictions, proving the reliability of our models.
Most importantly, we’ve learned which field characteristics lead to the best results.
We won’t waste your time or money on fields that aren’t well-suited for our technology. If your field doesn’t meet our screening criteria, we’ll tell you so – because there’s no value in implementing changes in marginally compatible fields.
Traditional EOR Methods vs. ESal
You’ve likely considered other EOR methods. Let’s compare these technical approaches:
Other EOR Methods
Thermal Recovery:
Expensive to implement, energy-intensive, limited to heavy oils.
Chemical EOR:
High chemical costs, complex to manage, environmentally challenging.
Gas Injection:
Requires significant infrastructure, often faces conformance issues and depends on gas availability.
Michrobial EOR:
Unpredictable results and lengthy implementation time.
Our RightWater™ formulation offers distinct advantages:
Lower Cost
Fraction of the investment of traditional EOR methods
Faster Implementation
Months versus years for many alternatives
Operational Simplicity
Uses existing infrastructure with minimal modifications
Environmental Compatibility
No harmful chemicals or high energy consumption
Versatility
Works across different reservoir types
Complementary Integration
Can enhance effectiveness of existing EOR methods
