Avert® restores and maintains flow by controlling how deposits form and interact within production systems.
/ Avert®
Prevent Buildup. Maintain Flow.
Biosurfactant solutions that controls paraffin and asphaltene deposition to keep production systems and wells flowing
What Is Avert®?
Avert® is a line of biosurfactant-based flow assurance solutions designed to remediate and prevent paraffin, asphaltene, and other organic buildup. It penetrates, disperses, and suspends deposits to restore flow, while helping prevent re-deposition to maintain stable flow conditions and reduce the need for reactive treatments and interventions.
Primary Applications
Flow Assurance & Production
Prevent buildup that restricts flow in producing wells
Production Systems
Maintain stable flow across tubing, flowlines, and surface equipment
Midstream & Gathering
Reduce deposition and improve reliability during transport and in the wellbore
How Avert® Works
Deposition Control
Prevents paraffin and asphaltene from forming solid buildup
Dispersion & Stability
Keeps materials dispersed to avoid accumulation and restriction
Surface Interaction Control
Reduces adhesion of deposits to tubing and equipment
Sustained Flow Conditions
Maintains consistent flow paths and system performance over time
Restored Flow & Lower LOE
Operators benefit from:
- Prevented buildup and reduced flow restrictions
- More consistent production performance
- Fewer chemical treatments and cleanout operations
- Reduced downtime and maintenance frequency
- Improved system reliability over time
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Avert® used for?
Avert® is a biosurfactant-based treatment designed to remediate and prevent paraffin, asphaltene, and organic deposit buildup in the wellbore and production systems.
How does it work?
Avert works by:
- Penetrating paraffin and asphaltene deposits to access buildup at the source
- Dispersing heavy organics into smaller, flowable particles
- Suspending materials in the flow stream to prevent redeposition
Why is this different from solvents?
Solvents act slowly at the surface of deposits and are short-lived, failing to maintain dispersion or suspension—often requiring high volumes and allowing buildup to re-form.
Avert:
- Penetrates beneath the surface of deposits to disrupt adhesion and cohesion
- Reduces recurrence
- Improves long-term flow assurance
What problems does it solve?
- Paraffin buildup
- Asphaltene deposition
- Flow restrictions
- Increased downtime
Where is it most valuable?
- Wells with recurring deposit issues
- Systems requiring frequent cleanouts
- Operations looking to reduce chemical and maintenance costs
Where is it NOT the right fit?
Systems without inorganic deposition issues will see limited benefit.
