PetroGenesis provides
environmentally friendly solutions
for hydrocarbon recovery.
Whether it be tank sludge
recovery, pipeline paraffin
elimination, soil remediation, or
down hole well stimulation, our
solutions have been proven in the
lab as well as the field.
This presentation will focus on
down hole well stimulation
through paraffin and/or
asphaltene reliquification.
Our focus: Well Stimulation
Tri-Phase Treatment Process
The patented process for well stimulation is called the
HCD Tri-Phase Process.
The HCD Tri-Phase Process involves three (3) products:
•HCD Multi-Flow (patented chemical)
•HCD Salt Reducer (patented chemical)
•HCD Micro-Phase Bacteria (trade secret blend of microbes)
•21 Strains of microbes along with a Bio-Enhanced Nutrient food supply
are mixed and grown up in non-chlorinated water
PetroGenesis offers a process where a combination of chemicals and
microbes compliment one another to provide a highly effective monthly
well stimulation.
Tri-Phase Treatment Process
Treatment Mechanism
HCD Micro-Phase is 21 strains
of Class 1 microbes that
consume specific paraffin's and
asphaltenes. The microbes
serve to enhance and extend
the monthly well stimulation.
HCD Salt Reducer removes
the salts present in deposited
paraffin through several
different processes that
complex and buffer salt ions
and bond the ions to organic
hydrocarbon molecules.
Micro-Phase
Salt Reducer
Multi-Flow
HCD Multi-Flow reliquifies the solid paraffin deposits present in well
tubing. Paraffin will remain in a liquid state and not redeposit in flow lines or
storage tanks downstream from the well - thus, a total system treatment.

Well Stimulation with Tri-Phase
The Tri-Phase Application Protocol
1. Prepare Micro-Phase Bacteria 24 hours before well treatment.
2. Turn off well pump.
3. Isolate/Close valve on flow line to oil storage tank: rearrange valve line up for recirculation.
4. Pump Multi-Flow into wellhead (backside).
5. Pump Salt Reducer into wellhead (backside).
6. Pump Micro-Phase Bacteria into wellhead (backside).
7. Turn on pump and circulate chemicals inside well for 24 hours.
8. After 24 hours, realign valves to normal production valve lineup and open valve on flow line
to oil storage tank or distribution header.
9. Begin measuring improved natural gas and oil flow. Note pump efficiency curves for
improvement.
10. Repeat procedure once a month.

Greater Detail about HCD Tri-Phase Components
Micro-Phase
Salt Reducer
Multi-Flow
HCD Multi-Flow
Saturated unbranched acyclic hydrocarbons will attach on well
walls (solidification points at less than 104oF). During the
deposition process, other material such as sand, salts and
sediment become encased in the paraffin.
Micro-Phase
Salt Reducer
This deposition leads to reduced cross-sectional area within the
well tubing, resulting in lower flow rates. The presence of sand,
salt and sediments increases the strength of paraffin matrix
making removal more difficult. (HCD Salt Reducer breaks down
the salts in the paraffin – see the slide on HCD Salt Reducer)
Multi-Flow
HCD Multi-Flow reliquifies the solid paraffin matrix. HCD Multi-Flow
is not a solvent; it lowers viscosity/raises API gravity and creates a
phase change with the paraffin that even at low temperatures
will keep the paraffin in a liquid state. (In fact, HCD Multi-Flow has
been used effectively at -45C in the field).
It is important to note that HCD Multi-Flow reliquifies the paraffin.
By placing paraffin in a liquid state, there is no downstream
deposition of paraffin as one would get from hot oiling. Thus,
paraffin levels in flow lines and storage tanks will diminish as well.
HCD Multi-Flow is completely biodegradable.
HCD Salt Reducer
Micro-Phase
Salt Reducer
Multi-Flow
HCD Salt Reducer works through several different
processes that complex and buffer salt ions and
chelate the ions to organic hydrocarbon molecules.
Salts are first attacked through special enzymes in
HCD Salt Reducer, which are formed to break the
salt molecules into separate ions.
HCD Salt Reducer has a decade of experience in
field trials in lowering sodium chloride and calcium
levels in soils. In this application it is now breaking
down and chelating the entrained salts within
paraffin's.
HCD Salt Reducer is manufactured under strict
quality control standards. The product is sold in liquid
state and is easy to apply.
HCD Micro-Phase Bacteria
Micro-Phase
Salt Reducer
HCD Micro-Phase is a unique blend of 21 active
aerobic and faculative bacteria strains. The
HCD Micro-Phase is grown and activated at five
pounds of bacteria for every 300 gallons of nonchlorinated water; in addition, HCD BioNutrient
at 5 gallons/300 gallons H2O is also added as a
“food source” for the HCD Micro-Phase.
Multi-Flow
The tank is aerated and re-circulated for 24
hours until aerobic colony counts reach 10(7) to
10(9) CFU/ml.
The strains of bacteria are specific for paraffin
and asphaltene deposition in the formation.
Once deployed down hole, they will seek and
reliquify asphaltene and paraffin, prolonging
increases in oil and gas production rates. Once
the food source is consumed, the bacteria die
and return to ash.
One Last Note
Asphaltenes
Asphaltenes contain a benzene ring structure. Asphaltenes form an amorphous solid,
not a crystalline deposit, that is insoluble in n-pentane/n-heptane. Asphaltenes are
black in color, usually brittle, and are composed of charged, high-density molecules.
Situations that destabilize the micelle cause asphaltenes to come out of solution.
These situations include incompatible liquids (acids, condensate treatments and
crude blending) or high gas/liquid ratios (which often occur in gas flooding).
Charged surfaces, which can occur with high flow rates, can also cause asphaltene
wetting and deposition.
In short, Asphaltenes are a loss of the “volatiles” in the deposit causing it to become a
solid. The “small” (C-5 to C-15) hydrocarbon chains have typically volatilized and a
high viscosity deposit is left behind.
HCD Multi-Flow reliquifies asphaltenes in the same way that it reliqufies paraffin
deposits.
HCD Multi-Flow replaces the lost Hydrocarbon chains with small molecular chains to
“reliquify” the deposit so it becomes a flow able liquid once again. This oil will not lose
it’s volatility because HCD Multi-Flow is not a volatile. Asphaltene API gravity will
increase and viscosity will fall, providing an enhanced value to the well owner.
