Organic Oil Recovery – How it works

Step 1 - Initial Field Screening

This is where we analyze the oil field reservoir for various technical aspects. Our engineers review reservoir information provided by the customer to make sure the reservoir would be a good candidate for Organic Oil Recovery.

Step 2 - Production Water Sampling

Production water samples from the field are collected and sent for laboratory analysis. A water collection kit is sent to the oil field to collect water samples from 2-4 production wells to be analysed in our lab. The lab analysis of the well water samples when complete and documented are sent to the customer in a 10–15-page Laboratory Report. If the lab work was successful, then a recommendation is made to proceed with some pilot wells on the field.

Step 3 - Field Application to 2-4 Production Wells

This is an In‐situ Microbial Response Test. This step is to verify the nutrient formula developed in the lab can be applied successfully in the field. In advance of the first 2-4 pilot well applications, our technical team will meet by Zoom with the customer engineers and field personnel to review and go over the steps necessary and the equipment that will be needed for the well tests to be conducted. This usually takes place with 1‐3 meetings, so all aspects are well understood and coordinated between the field personnel and the delivery team.

Step 4 - Pilot Injection Well Application

If the results from the production well tests are positive, then an injector well pilot would be in order. This will allow for a much larger area of the reservoir to be treated with the Organic Oil Recovery process.

Step 5 - Full Field Roll-Out

With a successful injector pilot then a roll-out schedule of the field can be planned and implemented.
