Energy application
Flood Conformance
Reduce permeability in dominant flow paths and redirect injected fluids into unswept intervals.
Application focus
Redirect injection into the reservoir volume that still needs it.
Injected fluids often follow high-permeability streaks, vugs, fractures and fault-related conduits that bypass pay. Low-viscosity BioSqueeze fluids follow those same dominant paths, carrying the treatment to the source of poor sweep rather than building a near-wellbore plug.
Calcite precipitation progressively reduces permeability in the thief path. The changing injection response can be observed during treatment, allowing the program to be tuned to the reservoir and the desired redistribution profile.

Designed around the connected pathway.
Every program begins with the treatment objective, available diagnostics, access geometry, injectivity and the performance signal that will define success.
- Waterflood conformance
- Thief-zone control
- Deep flow-path diversion
