Oil & Gas Overview
Improve Oilfield Performance Through Biosurfactants
When mechanical gains plateau, chemistry drives performance
Performance Across the Well Lifecycle
Mechanical optimization has limits. Chemistry determines how fluids interact with the reservoir, driving recovery, cleanup, and flow performance. Locus Bio-Energy’s biosurfactant-based solutions reduce interfacial tension, shift surfaces toward a more water-wet state, improve cleanup, and enable more effective hydrocarbon recovery.
THE SHIFT TO CHEMISTRY
Modern chemistry for a modern oilfield
Well performance depends on how fluids behave under real conditions—not just mechanical design. Locus Bio-Energy applies biosurfactant solutions across the well lifecycle to improve interfacial behavior, accelerate cleanup, and unlock hydrocarbons that conventional approaches leave behind.
The Constraints Driving the Shift to Chemistry
The Biosurfactant Difference
One platform. Three mechanisms.
Oilfield performance is ultimately limited by interfacial behavior. Locus biosurfactants address this constraint through three core mechanisms: penetration, dispersion, and suspension—applied across the well lifecycle.
Penetrate
Penetrates hydrocarbon and organic buildup to reach and break down material below the surface
Disperse
Disperses hydrocarbons and solids into smaller, flowable particles to restore movement
Suspend
Suspends dispersed materials in the flow to prevent buildup and maintain system performance
Why biosurfactants perform where conventional chemistry fails
Locus Bio-Energy’s biosurfactant-based products outperform conventional surfactants, solvents, and acids. They operate where conventional chemistry struggles—at the interface.
