CANDIDATE WELL SCREENING

The screening process is identical whether entered via Markets or Intelligence. Submit a well list, get a candidate-by-candidate readout.

IDEAL SCENARIO

What an ideal target looks like.

The mechanism stacks in the operator’s favor when four conditions line up at once.

A naturally fractured reservoir that is oil-wet, tight, and low-permeability, with the fracture network well-isolated from aquifers. Natural fractures give the nanoparticles a transport path; oil-wet rock is where the wedge-film / wettability effect produces the largest delta; tight, low-permeability rock is where conventional drainage is leaving barrels behind; aquifer isolation keeps the response from being washed out by water cut.

CANDIDATE MATRIX

Current basin compatibility, at a glance.

The matrix below is updated as field data accumulates. Status reflects deployment readiness, not theoretical compatibility.

Basin Play / Interval Note
Permian / Midland Spraberry / Wolfcamp Strong cohort, multiple verified pads
Permian / Delaware Bone Spring / Wolfcamp Active program, ongoing pilots
Eagle Ford Austin Chalk / Eagle Ford / Buda Maturity dependent. Best on re-frac candidates
Anadarko SCOOP / STACK Vertical + horizontal both in scope
Williston Bakken / Three Forks Compatible, with selectivity on TDS
Powder River Niobrara, PRB Lab work in progress
Appalachian Marcellus / Utica (dry gas) Favorable for LNGs, Dry Gas capability under review

SCREENING CRITERIA

What we look at on every candidate.

STEP / 01

Formation mineralogy

Carbonate vs. silica balance, clay content, organic matter type. Drives formulation selection.

STEP / 02

Pore-throat distribution

Median throat size + distribution. Sets nanoActiv® transport effectiveness.

STEP / 03

In-situ wettability

Measured or inferred wettability state. Establishes how much shift is achievable.

STEP / 04

Production history

For re-stim: decline curve, prior treatment record, water cut. For new completions: cohort context.

STEP / 05

Formation water chemistry

TDS, divalent cation load, pH. Sets compatibility window with the dispersion.

STEP / 06

Completion design fit

How the treatment integrates with the operator’s existing pumping schedule and fluid system.

Candidate screening lives in both Markets and Intelligence because it is the principal conversion path for both buyer journeys. The process, the data ask, and the deliverable are identical.
