§  Combines  BioBlend’s  proprietary  products  with  state  of  the  art  remedial  equipment  and  techniques  to  tackle  many  of  the  tough  contamination  issues  facing  the  world  today.  

§  Our  current  process  is  a  complete  closed  loop  system,  including  recovery  and  treatment  of  groundwater,  followed  by  reinjection  of  the  treated  water  mixed  with  proprietary  blends.    The  system  is  trailer  mounted  or  can  be  containerized  for  shipment  throughout  the  world.    Because  of  the  modular  design,  the  process  can  be  adapted  for  most  site  specific  conditions.  

 §  Our  blends  enhance  the  native  microbial  growth  of  any  site.  Our  proprietary  

blends  not  only  remove  contaminants;  they  enhance  the  micro  fauna  to  remove  any  residual  particles  that  may  be  left  with  traditional  blends.

General  Description  The  hyper  wettability  of  our  product  allows  us  to  get  into  pores  and  fissures  of  surfaces  that  allow  cleaning  and  recovery  of  contaminants.  Bioblend  base  product  reduces  water  tension@  25C  to  26.7    dynes/cm  Water  @  25C  is  72.8  dynes/cm  The  lower  the  dynes,  the  less  force  is  needed  to  break  the  cohesive  forces  among  the  liquids  molecules.  ICIS  works  by  electrostatic  repulsion  and  steric  hinderance  

Mechanism of Oil Recovery

High salinity water compresses divalent bridges that link oil molecules with clay particles. By injecting Rb Aq which contains very low salinity, the electrical compression force is reduced and the bridges are able to expand allowing for a non bridging monovalent ion like Na+ to access and replace the divalent ions. This allows the oil to be swept towards the producing well.

§  Highly  compatible  with  all  nonionic  or  anionic  oil  field  products.  (i.e.  scale  inhibitors,  biocides,  etc)  

§  Decreases  capillary  pressure  in  the  formation,  allowing  for  increased  yields.  

§  Lowers  the  viscosity  of  the  hydrocarbon  feedstock,  allowing  for  increased  yields.

Case  Study  #1  Increased  Oil  §  On  June  1,  2012,  rebound  was  introduced  into  a  2,200  ft.  well  that  

produced  only  0.5  bpd  for  a  period  of  three  years.  §  Based  on  the  calculations  of  water  in  the  system,  five  gallons  of  

Rebound  Aq  was  poured  into  the  well  inlet  at  a  0.5%  dilution  which  resulted  in  a  final  .04%  dilution.  The  pump  was  set  to  percolate  and  the  product  was  allowed  to  permeate  into  the  surrounding  near  well  bore  formation.  Upon  restarting  the  pump,  the  operator  showed  a  significant  increase  in  oil  flowback,  up  to  5  bpd.  The  operator  also  noticed  sand  from  the  Austin  chalk  formation  represented  in  the  recovered  product.  This  was  a  significant  observation  showing  Rebounds  ability  to  clean  out  the  veins  of  the  formation  and  proppant  sand  from  the  original  fracture.  This  increase  in  production  lasted  for  three  weeks.  Before  the  use  of  Rebound,  the  wells  produced  10.5  barrels  of  oil  in  a  three  week  time  frame.  After  treatment  with  Rebound,  the  next  three  weeks  produced  105  barrels  of  oil  resulting  in  a  900  %  increase  in  production.

Case  Study  #2  Increased  Gas  and  Energy  Cost  Savings  §  On  February  14,  2013  Rebound  Aq  was  introduced  into  a  field  of  6  wells  that  were  

drilled  in  the  1940’s.  The  property  owner  stated  previously  prior  to  treatment,  they  produced  a  steady  3  ½  inches  [which  is  equivalent  to  1  barrel  =  1  inch]  or  3.5  bpd.  After  partial  treatment  of  Rb  into  the  production  water  tank,  they  saw  an  increase  to  a  steady  4  bpd.  After  the  plumbing  was  complete  and  the  pressure  dropped  at  the  injection  well  and  injection  pump,  he  had  one  day  of  6  barrels  of  production,  and  two  days  of  5  ½  barrels,  then  5  barrels.  After  which  it  subsided  to  4  ½  barrels  and  remained  constant.  The  first  of  September  showed  an  increase  to  8bpd  and  has  steadied  throughout  the  month.  That  is  an  increase  of  128%.  Turning  on  the  injection  pump  along  with  the  MR  pump  injecting  3.48  gallons  of  Rb  mixture  a  day,  did  indeed  allow  the  pressures  at  both  the  injection  pump  and  the  injection  well  to  reach  a  sustained  maximum  pressure  allowance  of  200  PSI  for  a  time  period  of  40  minutes  after  building  gradually.  The  injection  well’s  pressure  went  down  to  100  PSI,  and  gradually  decreased  from  there.  This  is  a  two-­‐fold  benefit,  one  being  there  is  less  mechanical  strain  kept  on  the  injection  pump,  resulting  in  both  longer  life  span  of  the  pump  and  porcelain  pistons  but  also  a  decreased  electricity  bill  as  the  pump  works  more  efficiently  to  push  fluid  down  the  line.  The  operator  also  estimates  a  gas  production  increase  of  20-­‐30%,  although  this  was  not  documented.
