Utica Resource Operating 选择 Locus Bio-Energy (Locus BE) 为多井完井项目提供基于生物表面活性剂的新型解决方案。俄亥俄州阿巴拉契亚盆地尤蒂卡页岩油田的选择是基于成本和性能的结合。Utica 对 10 种表面活性剂进行的第三方资格测试结果表明，Locus BE 的 SUSTAIN 系列多功能、可持续生物表面活性剂基水力压裂表面活性剂在每 1,000 加仑流体 1 加仑和 0.5 加仑的测试负载下均优于其他成熟的竞争性表面活性剂。 。

测试由位于德克萨斯州伍德兰兹的 Locus BE 技术团队开始，进行初步的表面活性剂评估。由 Utica Resource 提供的代表性原油和采出水样品用于确定 SUSTAIN 系列基于生物表面活性剂的解决方案中性能最佳的产品。

Utica Resource Operating 邀请 Locus 提交 SUSTAIN SF101 样品，参与更大规模的表面活性剂第三方实验室性能评估。结果用于指导他们完成计划的选择过程。SUSTAIN SF101 是提交独立第三方测试的 10 种表面活性剂之一。其性能与业内知名表面活性剂供应商提供的表面活性剂进行了测试。

SUSTAIN SF101 在 0.5 gpt 的流体负载下表现最佳。用于选择的性能指标证明了调动更多石油的能力。

Locus BE 高级副总裁 Marty Shumway 表示：“我们创建了 SUSTAIN 生物表面活性剂系列，以帮助石油和天然气运营商以更少的资源获得更多的成果。” “这些第三方测试结果证实 SUSTAIN 可以做到这一点，即以更少的化学品和成本提供更多的石油，同时减少整个化学品项目的环境足迹。”

俄亥俄州尤蒂卡页岩油区的凝析油和轻质油生产活动有所增加。这是由一些运营商最近的投资推动的，这些投资带来了重大发现。就尤蒂卡资源公司而言，在俄亥俄州根西县的钻探活动已经交付了油井，使该公司在继续开发其面积地位的同时，走上了提高油井性能并实现生产目标的道路。

“使用基于 SUSTAIN 生物表面活性剂的化学物质作为尤蒂卡完井液的一部分，将为建造更好的油井大有帮助，”沙姆威先生说。

Utica Resource 最近使用 SUSTAIN SF101 完成了 11 口井的 812 阶段完井计划。除了 SUSTAIN SF101 之外，Locus Bio-Energy 还为该计划提供了辅助化学品，包括阻垢剂和杀菌剂。

Utica Resource Operating has selected Locus Bio-Energy (Locus BE) to supply a novel, biosurfactant-based solution for a multi-well completion program. The selection for Ohio’s Utica shale play of the Appalachian basin was made based on a combination of cost and performance. Results from Utica’s third-party qualification testing on 10 surfactants showed that Locus BE’s SUSTAIN line of multifunctional, sustainable biosurfactant-based hydraulic fracturing surfactants outperformed other established competitive surfactants at test loadings of both 1 and 0.5 gallon per 1,000 gallons of fluid.

Testing began with Locus BE’s technology team in The Woodlands, Texas, conducting an initial surfactant assessment. Representative crude oil and produced water samples supplied by Utica Resource were used to identify the best performing product from the SUSTAIN line of biosurfactant-based solutions.

Utica Resource Operating invited Locus to submit samples of SUSTAIN SF101 to participate in a larger surfactant third-party lab performance evaluation. The results were used to guide their selection process for the completion program. SUSTAIN SF101 was one of 10 surfactants submitted for independent, third-party testing. Its performance was tested versus surfactants provided by established surfactant suppliers in the industry.

SUSTAIN SF101 was the top performer at a loading of 0.5 gpt of fluid. The performance metrics used for selection demonstrated the ability to mobilize more oil.

“We created the SUSTAIN line of biosurfactants to help oil and gas operators essentially do more with less,” said Marty Shumway, Senior Vice President for Locus BE. “These third-party test results confirmed that SUSTAIN can do just that — deliver more oil with less chemical and cost while reducing environmental footprint of the overall chemical program.”

Condensate and light oil producing regions of Ohio’s Utica shale play have seen a rise in activity. This has been spurred by recent investments by some operators that have led to significant discoveries. For its part, Utica Resource’s drilling activities in Ohio’s Guernsey county have delivered wells that put the company on a path to improving well performance and achieving its production goals as they continue to develop their acreage position.

“Using SUSTAIN biosurfactant-based chemistries as part of Utica’s completion fluids will go a long way to build a better well,” Mr Shumway said.

Utica Resource recently completed an 812-stage completion program on 11 wells using SUSTAIN SF101. In addition to SUSTAIN SF101, Locus Bio-Energy also provided ancillary chemicals for the program including a scale inhibitor and biocide.
