Locus Bio-Energy Decarbonizing oil & gas while boosting production with globally recognized biosurfactant technology

Locus Bio-Energy Solutions® (Locus BE) offers high-performance and low-CAPEX green biosurfactant solutions to the oil & gas industry’s most persistent financial and ESG challenges. The IP-protected startup perfected game-changing technology making it the only company that can produce biosurfactants at the quantities and price points required for use in the oil industry. The green solutions replace

and outperform synthetic chemical surfactants in boosting oil production at a fraction of the dosage rate and cost—improving safety, sustainability and profitability. Locus BE’s environmentally friendly biosurfactant solutions have been globally recognized for their ability to help operators do more with less and address pain points in well maintenance, flow assurance, enhanced oil recovery, completions and more. They extend the life of wells, increase declining production by 45% or more, eliminate paraffin-related well failures, minimize the need for new drilling to meet limited budgets, lower operating costs and replace costly completion fluids. They are the only green biosurfactant treatments approved as a tertiary EOR technology, alleviating tax burdens to improve financial security by qualifying users for a 50% severance tax credit that saves millions of dollars annually. The biosurfactant treatments have unmatched success in increasing operator revenue streams while moving the sector forward in environmental stewardship and social responsibility. They are shifting the industry’s perception of green technology, proving that ESG goals can be reached without sacrificing performance. Development of these economically viable EOR technologies that unlock residual oil in place can result in a tremendous increase in domestic oil production, leading to sustainable growth and global market stability.

Completion crews measure their work in days. Chemistry gets measured in years.

Twelve months after completion, wells treated with SUSTAIN® SF101 biosurfactant frac chemistry in the Delaware Basin are producing roughly 20% more cumulative oil than their offsets. The divergence from offset wells held through month twelve.

The mechanism is access. Biosurfactant micelles are small enough to enter pores below 40 nanometers, where conventional surfactants cannot. Treating more of the reservoir at the frac stage shows up in the production curve long after the pad is quiet.

The chemistry decision made during completion is still paying out a year later. Full 12-month field results are in our case study.

There is a gap between the zone where frac chemistry is easiest to evaluate and the pore space where a larger share of remaining oil can still be trapped.

Near-wellbore treatment gets most of the attention because the response is easier to measure. Flowback behavior, short-term rate uplift and early production data come back quickly, which makes them useful, but also easy to overvalue when judging recovery chemistry.

The matrix is harder to reach and harder to prove. It is also where chemistry has to create contact if the goal is durable recovery improvement beyond early cleanup. That requires movement past the near-wellbore zone and into the rock itself.

Locus Bio-Energy’s biosurfactant-based technology approaches recovery as a matrix access problem, with chemistry designed to travel into the formation rather than stop at the easiest part of the system to measure.

The first thing a well shows you after a surfactant treatment is more water.

That early water is flowback — the injected volume returning. Cleanup follows, then oil cut climbs and incremental production shows above baseline. When production trends back toward baseline, that is the retreatment window opening, not a verdict on the chemistry.

Field results for AssurEOR STIM® in the Bakken: more than 70% production uplift and over 1,700 incremental barrels per well.

Reading the curve on the chemistry's timeline is the difference between abandoning a working treatment and capturing the next one. Both mistakes cost barrels.

Capillary pressure traps mobile oil within the unpropped microfracture network. To influence recovery, the chemistry first has to physically reach that pore space.

Wolfcamp A pore throats are typically under 40 nm. Conventional surfactant micelles are typically ~100 nm.

They simply don't fit.

When it comes to EOR, candidate selection changes the economics of the whole program.

Chemical stimulation returns more when the well still has more to give. More remaining resource, more pressure support, more for the chemistry to work with.

To get the most from your stimulation program, treat early.

The first 90 days of production indicate the ex*****on quality of your completion program, but it takes much longer to estimate ultimate recovery.

Two wells can track nearly identically in early production curves and diverge sharply once boundary-dominated flow sets in, exactly when reservoir behavior begins to matter most.

Evaluating a change to your completion program after 90 days is like writing a review after reading only the first chapter of a book.

The 12-month data is where the story actually shows up

What if EOR in shale starts on day one?

The industry typically treats enhanced recovery as a late-life intervention, but capillary forces that trap hydrocarbons are active from the moment flowback starts. If completion chemistry can reduce those forces during initial flowback, enhanced recovery starts long before the well reaches decline.

At 1 gpt, SUSTAIN® delivers ~20% cumulative oil uplift 12 months post-frac, measured against analog wells from public state filings.

Day one. That's when you should consider improving your production.

Interfacial tension. Wettability. Capillary pressure.

These three mechanisms ultimately determine how much of the contacted reservoir contributes to production.

Completion design and lateral length create reservoir contact. Chemistry determines what happens after that contact is created.

SUSTAIN® is engineered around all three and validated with measured 12-month field performance through the boundary-dominated flow transition, not simply modeled.

There’s a reason conventional frac surfactants don’t function as recovery chemistry.

They were designed as cleanup additives. Their role is to reduce interfacial tension near the wellbore and support flowback after stimulation.

The limitation is physical. Conventional surfactant micelles are too large to pe*****te the rock matrix, so their activity remains near the fracture and wellbore.

Recovery chemistry requires matrix access. Molecules must move into the pore network where unrecovered hydrocarbons remain and interact across the stimulated reservoir volume.

The difference comes down to where the chemistry can go and what it was designed to do.

More value does not always start with a new well.

Sometimes it starts with better chemistry.
