InSitu
This category of waste is In Situ or remaining in place in the formation of the well.
There is a natural Decline-Curve of oil and gas wells, is that the older the well gets, as the gas and oil is recovered from the well and producing formation the initial gas production, which is produced naturally, since the higher percentage of methane is produced, this natural Lift will reduce in pressure and volume of both gas and oil flow over time. This is noted as the Decline-Curve. Naturally in a traditional oil and gas well, as the gas pressure leaves and the oil gets heavier gravity, the formation releases more salt water called Produced-Water since it is produced in conjunction with oil and gas production.
The main reason our enzymes are unique, is that they perform natural Electrolysis on the produced water present in the formation, and split the hydrogen from the oxygen, which releases free oxygen in the vicinity of the microbes supplying the enzymes and keeps them Aerobic to eliminate the combining of the free hydrogen with sulfur present in the formation, which eliminates the production of H2S (hydrogen sulfide), our enzymes actually eliminate the existing H2S and build protein or gypsum out of it.
Normally, commercially available microbes and/or enzymes sold today, only digest paraffin into aldehydes and non-beneficial alcohols. Our enzymes reduce the total volume of produced water since it is used to supply oxygen to the microbes and monatomic hydrogen to treat the heavier oil and paraffin into lighter hydrocarbons such as naphthalene, pentane and hexane, which is evident when we distill our product and recover high percentages of (85-90%) kerosene, and since this kerosene is now produced from what was formerly waste, it now qualifies as SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) to command a higher marketable price.
This means two different advantages from our Downhole or In Situ treatment, it eliminates the need for hot-oil treatments or blending with the purchased lighter gravity product to cut or dissolve the heavier Paraffin or Asphaltenes that are plugging up the well and formation, plus reducing the overall volume of produced water that needs to be disposed of at a high cost.
These advantages, in addition to reducing the cost and need to dispose of heavy residues from current refining methods today.
Fracking, when an oil and gas well is drilled, the formation in the well is perforated with a process known as Fracturing or commonly known as Fracking, which allows the gas and oil in the formation to escape from the formation into the casing in the well. As the oil is flowed not the casing, it’s volume increases and is enhanced by any gas pressures pushing the oil into the casing and up the narrower tubing, where the oil and water are removed by formation pressure or by pumping it with a pump jack, in what is considered a Legacy well or Common well.
Normally a legacy well performs a Decline-Curve which is because the decline of oil and gas increases as the amount of hydrogen decreases and the percentage of carbon remaining along with the saline formation water increases., that decreases the overall profitability of the well.
Our enzymes will reverse the decline curve within 48hrs to 72hrs after inoculation down the casing side of the well. The formation will hold mostly heavy oil carbon and formation water. Our enzymes remain aerobic by performing electrolysis on the large percentage of water, while breaking apart the longer chains of hydrocarbons. This process makes dissolved oxygen available to our microbes who secrete the extracellular enzymes which cleave or catalyze both the long chain hydrocarbons and the available free formation water. This activity then releases a large quantity of monatomic hydrogen, which attaches to the hydrocarbons that were cut or catalyzed from the long-chained hydrocarbons and reformed into shorter chains of hydrocarbons, such as pentane and hexane or naphthalene.
Conclusion:
In Situ treatment can be provided on a constant basis to maximize owners’/operators’ profits, the process requires 48-hour to 72-hour Oil Well shut down; the treatment would be provided every three to four months, or as needed.
