GreenZyme® is a proven, detergent‑class enzyme technology used worldwide to increase oil mobility, improve sweep efficiency, and restore production in mature or underperforming wells. As the exclusive provider, BioTech Processing Supply offers a streamlined process for requesting, evaluating, and implementing GreenZyme oil well recovery treatments. This guide summarizes what operators need to know before getting started.




1. What to Prepare Before Requesting a Quote

A successful GreenZyme® treatment begins with understanding the operator, the well, and the specific problem to solve. The more accurate the information you provide, the more precisely we can assess the well’s potential, estimate ROI, and design a treatment aligned with your production and economic goals.


GreenZyme® consistently performs on the technical side, but operators ultimately look for payback, cash flow, and sustained uplift. Our ROI models typically use a 12‑month cycle, while the enzyme can remain active in the reservoir for up to 3 years, continuing to influence oil mobility long after the initial treatment economics.


Key data that helps us build an accurate model:

  • Daily oil production (bopd)

  • Water production and total fluid rate

  • Water cut / BSW percentage

  • Pump type, size, and frequency regimen

  • Porosity and permeability (if available)

  • Known reservoir challenges (water coning, fingering, paraffin, heavy oil, low mobility)

  • Historical production trends and decline behavior


Production history is especially important because it allows us to “see” the well’s life story — how it has behaved, how it has declined, and where the bottlenecks may be. This is the foundation for estimating uplift and economic return.


2. Evaluating Your GreenZyme® Recovery Potential

Once we receive your initial well information, the next step is evaluating the technical and economic potential of applying GreenZyme® to your reservoir. This assessment helps determine whether the well is a strong candidate, what uplift is realistic, and how the treatment aligns with your production and ROI goals.


Key evaluation points:

  • Enzyme compatibility with your reservoir fluids and rock

  • Treatment volume, dilution, and soak time

  • Expected uplift based on comparable wells and field conditions

  • Operational requirements and logistics

  • Support level (remote guidance or onsite supervision)

  • Economic potential: payback period, 12‑month ROI modeling, and long‑term uplift (enzyme activity up to 3 years)


We provide additional data, case studies, and technical clarification upon request so you can make a confident, informed decision.


3. What You Receive in a GreenZyme® Quote

Every quote includes a complete, field‑ready treatment plan:

  • Customized treatment design

  • Recommended dilution mix

  • Injection method and operational workflow

  • Expected oil well production response based on global case history

  • Transparent pricing and logistics

  • Optional onsite supervision and monitoring


Our goal is to make the process simple, predictable, and results‑driven.

4. Pilot Testing for First‑Time Users

For operators new to enzymatic EOR, a pilot test is the most effective way to validate GreenZyme® performance in your specific reservoir.


Benefits of pilot testing:

  • Confirms compatibility and expected uplift

  • Minimizes operational risk

  • Establishes optimal dosage and workflow

  • Generates internal data for management approval

  • Provides a foundation for scaling to multi‑well or pattern treatments


Typical pilot workflow:

  1. Review 10 to 15 candidate wells (sample size).

  2. Select 1–3 representative wells

  3. Apply a standard GreenZyme® treatment

  4. Soak for 3–5 days

  5. Monitor production for 30–90 days

  6. Compare results to baseline

  7. Decide on field‑wide rollout


Pilot testing is especially valuable for operators transitioning from chemical surfactants, solvents, or polymer programs who want a safer, simpler, and more environmentally friendly alternative.


5. Why Operators Choose GreenZyme®

GreenZyme® is a biologically produced, water‑based enzyme detergent—not a chemical solvent/surfactant. Its advantages include:

  • Increased oil mobility and reduced viscosity

  • Reduced formation damage

  • Improved waterflood sweep efficiency

  • Effective in heavy oil, high salinity, and high‑temperature reservoirs

  • Environmentally friendly and non‑reactive formulation

  • Cost‑effective production gains and recovery


These benefits make GreenZyme® one of the most reliable and scalable EEOR solutions available.

6. Planning Your Treatment and Next Steps

After approving your quote, we coordinate:

  • Delivery of GreenZyme®

  • Injection scheduling and field logistics

  • Step‑by‑step application instructions

  • Soak period planning

  • Post‑treatment monitoring


To maximize results, track baseline production, monitor changes for 30–90 days, and review performance with our technical team.
