These Berea sandstone
discs were saturated
with West Texas
oil and kept inside
Amott cells at ambient
conditions for 24
hours. The one on the

nanofluids can
be at mobilizing oil, a
capability that TenEx
Technologies reports
is delivering long-lasting
production gains
across the United
States and abroad.
formation damage, such as paraffin and
some forms of scale.
The fluid excels at removing paraffin
and other organic damage because it combines
chemical reactions with mechanical
force, Radwan assesses. " The fluid contains
nanoparticles as small as 3-11
nanometers. Through a process called
Brownian motion, these particles vibrate
and move around. As they do so, they
pierce the organic material and dislodge
it from the rock's surface by applying
disjointing pressure, " he explains.
As it breaks up organic deposits, the
nanofluid leaves behind a coating that
keeps other deposits from accumulating,
Radwan says. " The coating lasts long
enough that we have had wells show almost
no decline in production two years
after we deployed the nanofluid, " he
says. " This indicates the treatment not
only removed the paraffin but kept it
from returning. "
The coating alters the rock's wettability
to make it more attractive to water and
less attractive to oil, Radwan adds. " In
many wells, the more water-wet surfaces
reduce water cut 2% or 3%, which is
enough to change the well's economics
significantly, " he says. " The treatment
also seems to keep the water cut from increasing
over time, or at least slows the
rate at which it increases. "
According to Radwan, the nanofluid
has restimulated more than 200 wells.
" In the United States, we have pumped
the product in almost every basin, including
the Williston, Powder River, Denver-Julesburg,
SCOOP/STACK and of
course the Permian. We also have run it
in Canada, the Middle East and China, "
he details.
The product shines in California, Radwan
adds. " It's a green, water-based fluid
that can be pumped down the well's backside
using low-horsepower equipment, "
he explains. " Usually, pumping only takes
one or two hours. A long well may require
four or five hours, but even then, the
emissions are minor. "
