• Conventional Oil discoveries are at a 70-year low
• Shale discoveries have offset decline in conventional supplies
• While production in shale is currently prolific, many issues
loom:
• Lower EUR (7-12%)
• Rapid decline rates
• Majority of drilling is in “sweet spots” which will be
fully utilized in the next decade
Exploitation of
current inventory is
the best method for
maintaining
production long-term
Oil Demand is
predicted to be
steady for next 25
years
Altering
wettabi l i ty
We’ve spent a decade studying the
relationship of wettability and salinity
in oil reservoirs to develop a suite of
tools to offer producers maximum
recovery.
Our understanding of altering
wettability through salinity is
unmatched in the industry.

Considerations
▪ Wettability controls electrical properties,
capillary pressure, relative permeability,
waterflood behavior, ultimate recovery and EOR
options
▪ In many (>60%) reservoirs, wettability is sensitive
to salinity
▪ Using the correct salinity to maintain favorable
wettability
▪ Change salinity to improve wettability and oil
recovery
The best oil recovery is
at neutral wettability
Changing salinity will alter
wettability in many reservoirs

An estimated change in residual oil
saturation of ~ .18 units maximum
Oil Saturation Change
In this case, lowering salinity
resulted in the reservoir becoming
less water-wet until a certain point
and then reversing the effect as
salinity continues to lower
Salinity Sensitivity Analysis Enhanced recovery of ~200k bbl
over a standard waterflood could be
achieved by simple water salinity
adjustment

An estimated change in residual oil
saturation of ~ .25 units maximum
Oil Saturation Change
In this case, lowering salinity
resulted in the reservoir becoming
