Operators are using more proppant and more clusters to increase production. Yet decline curves can be steep. One problem is that the proppant may not end up in the desired location.
Enter the nanoparticle.
David Holcomb, a consultant and founder of Pentagon Technical Services, worked with Nissan Chemical America Corporation scientists to develop a nanoparticle dispersion, nanoActiv HRT (hydrocarbon recovery technology), that will diffuse into the reservoir’s natural fracture network, dislodge the oil from the reservoir, and separate and reduce it into smaller droplets for easier production.
