Proflux Technology

“We chose to deploy the Proflux Technology on a 3 well trial. The results were outstanding with oil rates more than doubling.”
>> BRAD GARDINER, CEO OF PROSPER ENERGY

What is Proflux?

Proflux chemistry is a family of water soluble polymers that have unique properties when in contact with heavy oils and bitumen. The Proflux solutions are made up using field-produced water.

The Proflux field-strength chemical forms a dispersion with heavy oil causing it to encapsulate heavy oil droplets and temporarily preventing coalescence. This produces an apparent low-viscosity, highly mobile, free-flowing dispersion, which allows heavy oil to be produced and transported as if it were light conventional oil.

Our technology is patented in 20 countries with 12 patent applications.

How does it work ?
  • Encapsulates droplets
  • The Proflux Polymer in water is typically added to heavy oils at between 25% and 30% by volume
What is the result of Proflux in Unlocking Heavy Oil?
  • Mobilizes and produces a low viscosity, free flowing dispersion by up to two orders of magnitude
  • ‘Standardizes’ all Heavy Oil and Bitumen dispersion viscosities typically to 100cP and more
  • Proflux technology is designed to be wholly compatible with existing oil production, transport and process facilities
  • Readily separates using existing separation facilities
  • Proflux polymer remains in the produced water and can then be recycled and reused
