Boosting Hydrocarbon Recovery and Maximizing Acreage Value: Alchemy's Revolutionary Solution

By

In the ever-evolving oil and gas industry, the economic value of acreage is no longer solely dependent on the total amount of hydrocarbons present underground. Instead, it is the recovery factor and production efficiency that determine the true worth of these resources. Recognizing the need for advancements in this area, Alchemy, a leading oilfield chemicals company, has introduced a groundbreaking solution that revolutionizes hydrocarbon recovery in unconventional reservoirs. Through their innovative chemical technology platform, MaxORSM, Alchemy is enhancing well productivity and significantly improving recovery rates, thus driving the value of acreage to new heights.

Understanding the Challenge: In the United States' unconventional resource plays, the recovery factor has remained disappointingly low, often hovering in the mid-single digits. While production efficiency has seen incremental improvements over the past two decades, such as faster drilling and completion times, longer horizontal wells, and increased use of water and proppant, these enhancements have nearly reached their limits. Despite these efforts, the recovery factor has not experienced a significant boost.

Navigating Regulatory Constraints: Fortunately, the prevailing governmental direction and regulatory regime are now creating opportunities for technologies that can effectively increase the recovery factor and maximize the value of acreage. However, the constraints posed by capital limitations, limited access to prime land for exploration and production, and the growing consolidation of operating companies must also be considered. It is within these constraints that Alchemy's solution stands out.

The Alchemy Solution: MaxORSM and More:Alchemy's chemical technology platform, MaxORSM, has proven its mettle in enhancing well productivity and recovery rates in unconventional reservoirs. What sets Alchemy apart is their tailored approach, developing products specifically designed for each unique system being treated. By focusing on the reservoir and the fluids within it (oil, gas, and water), Alchemy's products offer customized solutions for maximum effectiveness.

At the heart of the MaxORSM platform lies the Performance LibraryTM, a comprehensive collection of data and insights gathered from extensive research and field trials. This vast knowledge base is supported by Alchemy's machine learning module, MinervaSM, which leverages artificial intelligence to rapidly match the right product to various systems. This intelligent approach ensures that Alchemy's offerings deliver optimal results in enhancing well productivity and increasing hydrocarbon recovery.

Proven Success and Future Expansion: Alchemy's expertise and technology have already made a significant impact in key regions. The company has successfully treated wells in prominent areas like the Eagle Ford, Bakken, Permian Basin, and Denver Julesburg Basin in the United States. Building on their achievements, Alchemy has set its sights on expanding its reach and impact. In 2024, the company plans to introduce its groundbreaking products in the Neuquén Basin in Argentina, further solidifying its position as a global leader in oilfield chemicals.

Alchemy, as a leading oilfield chemicals company, is at the forefront of driving advancements in hydrocarbon recovery and maximizing the value of acreage. Through their groundbreaking chemical technology platform, MaxORSM, they have successfully addressed the challenges posed by low recovery factors and production efficiency limitations. By tailoring their products to specific reservoir systems and leveraging cutting-edge machine learning, Alchemy is transforming the industry's landscape. With their proven success in key regions and future expansion plans, Alchemy is shaping a more efficient and sustainable future for oil and gas exploration and production.
