SERVICES / IMPROVED OIL RECOVERY/SINGLE WELL TREATMENTS

BioFILTER™

The BioFILTER™ Process is an innovative, environmentally safe Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) that enhances oil production while also decreasing water cut, thereby giving operators the dual benefits of increased revenue and reducing expenses associated with working in mature fields.

BioFILTER™ is our patented process for increased recovery using the “Huff and Puff” technique. Well-specific volumes of a customized microbe consortia & nutrient pairing are injected under carefully controlled conditions. The well is shut-in to develop a down-hole bioreactor which stimulates the in-situ growth of the active agents. The shut-in period may last up to three weeks after which the well is returned to production. There will be an initial unloading period followed by increased oil production and decreased water cut which can be expected to last for 6 to 8 months, after which the wells can be re-treated.

International field applications of the technology have yielded (to date) an aggregate:

• 200% increase in oil production, and
• 30% aggregate decrease in water cut
• Improvement in viscosity of 28%
• Improvement in API gravity of 8-10%

The interaction of the customized microbe and nutrients down-hole generate metabolites that include CO2, Acid, Solvents, Surfactants and polymers that improve mobility of oil and increase permeability of the reservoir within a 32 feet radius of the wellbore.

GloriOil takes care of the entire service using purpose built field units (Microbe Express™) to ensure quality and repeatability at every step of the process. There is no capital outlay, no equipment to install, no complex well preparation.
