SUSTAIN® is a glycolipid biosurfactant system of frac surfactants designed to improve fluid–rock interaction at the reservoir level. It integrates into existing fluid systems to reduce interfacial tension, enhance contact, and accelerate cleanup—delivering faster flowback, earlier production, and more efficient recovery.
SUSTAIN® improves frac performance through interfacial chemistry that changes how fluids move through the reservoir.
SUSTAIN® delivers measurable, field-validated gains across the production curve
SUSTAIN® is a biosurfactant-based frac additive designed to improve flowback efficiency, hydrocarbon mobility, and overall production performance in hydraulic fracturing operations.
SUSTAIN works by modifying fluid and rock interactions at the microscopic level:
These combined effects improve fluid cleanup and increase hydrocarbon flow from the formation.
Mechanical design (stages, sand, spacing) is already optimized in most shale plays.
Production gains are increasingly coming from chemical efficiency, how effectively fluids interact with the reservoir to mobilize hydrocarbons.
Field results have shown:
Traditional surfactants:
SUSTAIN biosurfactants:
No. SUSTAIN is designed as a drop-in chemical upgrade, with minimal changes to mechanical design, equipment, or workflow.
Wells already optimized for fluid recovery with minimal capillary trapping may see smaller incremental gains.
Greatest value comes in:
Unlock better cleanup, higher early-time production, and stronger long-term recovery.
