BrightWater® Technology for Waterflood Sweep Improvement

Every day, your company is challenged to produce as much of its oil reserves as possible. Unfortunately, even after secondary recovery attempts like waterfloods, most reservoirs still produce only 40 to 60 percent of the original oil in place.Now, TIORCO offers an alternative that promises to maximize your production: BrightWater chemical and application technology. Co-developed by Nalco, BP and Chevron, BrightWater is a sub-micron particulate chemistry that is injected downhole with flood water during a secondary recovery process.

• Restricts flow of water into high permeability thief zones
• Reduces unwanted costly water production
• Improves sweep efficiency
• Improves reservoir oil recovery by up to 10 percent
• Can be deployed with conventional chemical injection equipment and existing water injection systems
• Water miscible solution
• Poses no risk to your reservoir or the environment
• No shutdowns required
