What is GreenZyme®?
GreenZyme® is a water based, inert, enzyme concentrate that facilitates crude oil separation, drainage and recovery from oil fields.
The enzyme detergent disperses crude oil by (1) adsorbing itself into the rock surface where interferes at the molecular level with the adhesion behavior of crude oil to the rock. Using the polar effect of the enzyme molecule, GreenZyme then (2) attaches to the crude oil preventing the attachment of crude oil to itself.
Then Enzyme Fluid proprietary technology creates a Hydrocarbon Separator solution that increases the mobility of oil and the recovery factor of reservoir fluids.
​
FACT: GreenZyme® Technology has been observed to lower Interfacial Tension (IFT), and producing a substancial change in oil-rock wettability that improves payzone drainage.
GreenZyme® is a non-Chemical, non-hazardous solution.
Tested! Water Based, Environmentally Friendly and Biodegradable industrial detergent.
Benefits & Solutions
Mechanism
GreenZyme® EEOR solution catalyzes reactions between the oil, the rock and water for improved oil well productivity and enhanced oil field recovery.
With direct effect on on Polar Forces, GreenZyme has been proven to reduce Interfacial Tension, interfere with the attachment behavior of crude oil to change oil-rock wettability improving crude oil drainage and recovery.
​
GreenZyme® changes the adhesion behavior clean the oil from the rock surface and creates a positive enzyme-water skin, preventing re-attachment of oil.
Biodegradable and Environmentally Friendly!

Case Study
VENEZUELA
In 2000, La Salina Oil Field, located around Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela, has many oil saturated yet blocked, under performing wells. Well TJ-1319 in Maracaibo was chosen to receive multiple treatments of GreenZyme® Technology over the years with the purpose of E-EOR and to test whether the recovery factor would increase after each treatment. GreenZyme® had already established success in single well huff and puff treatment implementations. Yet prior to this pilot, no multiple applications of a single well with GreenZyme® had been recorded in South America.
After enzyme stimulation treatment, total fluid production increased, with produced water being extracted first, followed by improved oil production. Treatments effectively removed wellbore blockage for improved permeability and drainage. Increased oil recovery was maintained above the baseline as long as +12 months, before starting to decline. GreenZyme® was found to be effective in mitigating restriction due to unconsolidated sands and paraffin build up.
Multiple applications of GreenZyme® yielded significant increases in production following each treatment, with no negative effects. Over a 16 year span, TJ1319 received 6 applications of GreenZyme®. Each time TJ1319 was treated with GreenZyme® it yielded an increase in BOPD. The first 5 treatments saw a daily average production increase of 335% and a total of 608,000 barrels of additional oil in the first 8 years.
Technology Features
1
COST EFFECTIVE
Studies contemplate the return towards mature fields by means of IOR/EOR recovery, due to the cost effective solutions. Mature fields with known oil saturation remaining are ready to provide extra production.
2
Accessible
Mature fields are located in accessible regions surrounded by necessary equipment and available infrastructure for GreenZyme enzyme oil well recovery treatment, creating oil field intervention opportunities that require less resources, ultimately reduce cost while providing a quick impact o production.
3
Multi-use EoR
Water Based Additive is not affected by pH level, Salinity, & Temperature in the formation. It provides a solution to the presence of heavy oil, paraffins, and/or sulfur in any amount. Immune to the presence of chemicals, ASP, Metallic Ions & Radio-active isotopes.
GreenZyme is NOT a solvent.
“GreenZyme is a Environmentally Friendly, enzyme fluid detergent technology that gives field operators new, effective ways to more crue oil recovery.”
