Because “manufacturing wells” as a production growth or maintenance strategy will play out in all unconventional reservoirs within the next few years, technologies beyond hydraulic fracturing will be required to efficiently steward the hydrocarbon resource that the thousands of existing wells represent. There is huge value creation potential for stimulation technology in mature, unconventional wells. Third Wave’s focus on surfactant stimulation leverages a deep understanding of the surface science of surfactants into operational technologies that have been demonstrated to produce incremental barrels at very competitive per-barrel costs, and with a carbon footprint that is a fraction of that for new wells.
