Indago’s HCD Technology
==> picture [250 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
HCD Multi-Flow[TM] , is a small, specially engineered carbon-based molecule that disaggregates & reliquefies the large agglomerations of waxes and asphaltenes naturally occurring in waxy and heavy crude oils.

Indago’s HCD Technology
==> picture [247 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
Multi-Flow has the following impacts:
-
Lowers the pour point of paraffinic crudes
-
Lowers the viscosity of heavy crude oils, allowing reduced cost transportation
-
Lowers the amount of heat required to mobilise heavy oils thereby reducing costs
-
Lowers pipeline and production equipment corrosion rates
-
Breaks oil and water emulsions, reducing BS&W levels, lowering costs
-
Increases production rates by reliquefying paraffin & asphaltenes in the reservoir
-
It provides a clean, green, cost-effective solution to the production, transport, storage and refining of heavy oils

Applications and Benefits
==> picture [247 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
Key product applications and their benefits:
-
Ensures successful and economic flow in onshore/offshore pipeline and oil gathering lines that transport heavy or paraffinic crudes
-
Increases oil and rates and thus economics in both on- production recovery
-
shore and offshore wells in fields producing heavy or paraffinic crudes
-
HCD Multi-Flow[TM] reduces the need for costly workovers and chemical or heat treatments to remove or on paraffin asphaltene deposition production
-
tubulars & oil flowlines
-
Enables efficient clean-up, oil recovery and water & sediment separation of tank bottom sludge in oil tank batteries offshore/onshore. HCD Tank Clean separates oil, water & sediment without the need for human intervention in tank cleaning
-
HCD Multi-Flow[TM] also improves crude quality in all applications by lifting the API Specific Gravity and separating water by breaking water-in-oil emulsions, resulting in a higher price for the crude at the point of sale

==> picture [139 x 88] intentionally omitted <==
Superior Technology
==> picture [247 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
HCD Multi-Flow[TM] , is a more efficient product based on superior technology. It is clean, green, non-toxic and significantly cheaper than rival products:
-
It is less harmful to people and the environment than toxic solvents (BenzeneToluene-Xylene) for clearing blockages in pipelines & well bores caused by paraffin/asphaltene
-
It is more efficient than polymer chemistries for significantly reducing wax crystallization of the crude oil by interrupting the molecular attraction that causes wax to crystallise - whereas polymers only slow down this process
-
It is much more cost effective than using heat treatments to keep the crude oil in a liquid (flowable) phase in cold environment conditions
-
It replaces six traditional additives to treat paraffin and asphaltene with only one versatile product, making it operationally very simple and significantly less expensive for overall system treatments as well as being environmentally safe

Opportunities in Heavy Oil Fields
==> picture [247 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
According to the US Geological Survey, the world's current heavy oil reserve estimates total approximately 1.1 trillion barrels of oil. The Western Hemisphere has about 70% of this resource's technically recoverable reserves.

Pipelines Success: Puteri Platform
==> picture [247 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
Puteri platform is part of a $2bn offshore Malaysian development owned by Petronas that included a $400m pipeline. The field is estimated to have produced up to 17,000 bod.
Due to Paraffin and asphaltene build-up in both the well bore and the pipeline, production had reduced to ~1,000 bod before the field was then shut-in in 2009.
In 2012 the production re-commenced using HCD Multi-Flow and was returned to production at an estimated rate of `9,000 bod. HCD product was continuously used for 5 years.

-
Pour point reduced from 41[0] C to 32[0] C that enabled the platform to resume production and resume flow through the pipeline at ~9,000 BOPD
-
HCD Multi-Flow™solution cost ~80% less than the competitor’s less effective products
-
Facilitated restart of Puteri and restoration of value to the $400M pipeline and $2bn field
-
Reduction of maintenance on platform heat exchangers
-
Oil discount of 15% associated with BS&W eliminated estimated to generate extra revenue of ~$40m/year for Petronas
-
Pour point was also reduced in the neighbouring Abu Alpha Field from 36[0] C to 14[0] C

Pipeline Successes: Syria’s Souedie Field
==> picture [247 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
Problem:
-
Cold ambient temperatures at surface and high pour point waxy & asphaltenic crudes caused gathering lines and pipeline failures in Souedie Field, Syria
-
Oil production was seriously curtailed because wax/asphaltene blocked the lines in winter. The wells had to be shut-in and damaged sections of gathering lines and pipelines had to be replaced in the Spring each year
Solution & Benefits:
-
HCD product was injected into gathering lines, liquefying the wax deposition and PP (by as much as 53[0] C) ensuring continuous well production & crude flow
-
API gravity of treated crude was uplifted from 11[0] to 15.2[0]

Production Success: Western Canada
==> picture [247 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
-
HCD treatment increased daily oil production in 4 wells, increases varied from 64-240% and increases averaged 150%
-
The increase was production
-
largely sustained for 240 days of monitoring after the treatment
-
No asphaltene or paraffin built up in the flowlines for at least 6 months after the treatment.

Production Success: New Mexico
==> picture [247 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
-
HCD EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) treatment increased average daily oil production in 5 wells from 6-310%
-
Total average incremental barrels of oil produced from one treatment was 45 barrels of oil/day
-
Increased gas production from 367 mcf/day to 502.6 mcf/day (37%)
-
Substantial increase in daily revenue. At current oil ($US50) and gas ($3.3/mcf) prices the increased revenue is $US2,697 per day

Opportunities for Future Applications
==> picture [247 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
The opportunities for future applications of HCD Multi-Flow[TM] are enormous because the technology is directly applicable and beneficial to any area or business involved with the production, handling, storage or transport and refining of waxy or heavy crude oil.
In summary, potential applications include:
-
Production in heavy and extra heavy crude oil fields
-
Production in paraffinic crude oil fields
-
Production in oil sands
-
Treating pipelines that transport heavy or paraffinic crude oils
-
Treating tanks that store heavy or paraffinic oils
-
Treating refinery feedstock by reducing corrosive BS&W levels

==> picture [141 x 4] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [142 x 7] intentionally omitted <==
The oil field chemical market is ~$20 billion/year. HCD is relevant to 50% of this market.
-
Pipeline Applications . Revenue possibilities are up to $1/bbl treated. A single 50,000 bbl/day pipeline could therefore generate revenue of $18m/year
-
Product Sales to Producers. Similar revenue objectives of $1/bbl of recoverable oil treated
-
Self Owned Projects. Seek to own projects that generate significant reserves and production (initially in North America). Target projects with 10mmbbls recoverable
-
Incremental Production. Contribute product to producers for share of incremental production and profits
-
Tank Cleaning & Refineries. Large contract could generate up to $5m in revenue
