Biosurfactant Products

Performance-Driven Chemistry for Modern Oilfields

Biosurfactant-based engineering that outperforms traditional surfactants, solvents, and acids

Chemistry is becoming the defining driver of well economics. Locus biosurfactant-based products improve interfacial behavior to enhance reservoir access, fluid mobility, and system stability—outperforming conventional surfactants, solvents, and acids. Each solution is built for modern oilfield conditions, including unconventional reservoirs, high-salinity brines, complex mineralogy, and demanding production environments.

The Bio-Energy Chemistry Advantage

Why biosurfactants behave differently in oilfield systems

Traditional surfactants and solvents are not designed for the realities of modern shale reservoirs. Biosurfactants bring oilfield chemistry into a new era.

Ultra-small micelles (3–5 nm)

Access pore structures conventional chemistries cannot reach

Superior IFT & capillary pressure reduction

Mobilizes trapped hydrocarbons and improves flowback

High-TDS stability

Performs in high salinity and harsh reservoir conditions

Formation-friendly & non-emulsifying

Reduces risk of formation damage and emulsion issues

The biosurfactant trifecta applied across oilfield systems

Three mechanisms drive performance across completion, production, and midstream applications:

Dispersion
Breaks down deposits and mobilizes hydrocarbons to restore flow

Separation
Improves fluid cleanup, reduces emulsions, and increases efficiency

Surface interaction
Modifies wettability and adhesion to improve reservoir contact and prevent buildup
