Unconventional Wells

Unlock Trapped Value in Unconventional Wells

Improve reservoir contact, accelerate flowback, and unlock additional recovery

The LOCUS ADVANTAGE

Improves fluid interaction

Mobilizes trapped hydrocarbons

Disperses paraffin and organic deposits

Unconventional oil wells push mechanical design to the limit, but recovery still depends on fluid behavior in the reservoir. Locus biosurfactant chemistry improves how fluids interact with the reservoir—enhancing penetration, accelerating cleanup, and mobilizing hydrocarbons that conventional chemistry leaves behind. The result is faster cleanup, improved production response, and sustained recovery over time in unconventional oil wells.

The Power of Bio-Energy

What are the challenges of unconventional wells?

Even in advanced completions, unconventional wells face persistent recovery limitations driven by fluid behavior and reservoir interaction:

  • Limited reservoir contact during stimulation
  • Inefficient cleanup and fluid recovery
  • Trapped hydrocarbons in micro- and nanopores
  • Declining production after initial completion

The Biosurfactant Trifecta Applied to Unconventional Wells

Three mechanisms that improve cleanup, connectivity, and sustained production:
Penetrates hydrocarbon and organic buildup to reach and break down material below the surface
Suspends dispersed materials in the flow stream to prevent buildup and maintain system performance
Disperses hydrocarbons and solids into smaller, flowable particles to restore movement

Proven impact across the shale well lifecycle

Operators deploying Locus biosurfactant chemistry in unconventional wells achieve measurable performance gains across the well lifecycle, from faster cleanup to sustained production uplift.
