About the Event

In this event, we will explore advanced chemical enhanced oil recovery techniques with a special focus on surfactant stimulation in unconventional reservoirs. As operators seek to maximize recovery from mature wells and optimize asset value, the session will examine how surfactant applications can alter rock wettability, enhance oil mobility, and drive incremental production. Attendees will learn about the underlying mechanisms of surfactant action, insights from laboratory testing, and strategies for effective field implementation, all of which contribute to a sustained uplift in production.

About the Innovator

• Third Wave Production brings decades of combined expertise in surfactant-based enhanced oil recovery. Their innovative approach focuses on stimulating mature unconventional PDP assets through proprietary technology rather than acting as a traditional service provider. By “painting” the rock matrix with carefully selected surfactant systems, Third Wave has a proven track record of measurable production uplifts in unconventional wells in the Permian and Eagle Ford basins. They will explain the underlying chemical mechanisms, share laboratory and field trial results, and discuss the practical aspects of treatment design that ensure sufficient surfactant contact with the rock matrix.
