Can the Titan Process be used on both waterflood and natural water drive reservoirs?
Yes, as long as we can cause the microbes in the reservoir to be contacted by the nutrient mixture, the effect will be positive. Waterflood operations are the easiest method to introduce the nutrients to the reservoir. The Titan Process is simply added into the injection water stream. To do this, no capital equipment is needed and the Titan Process gets to work right away. Depending on the strength of the natural water drive, it may be possible to introduce the nutrients through a “watered-out” producer, but additional (or new) pumping equipment may be required. Natural water drives have not been tested sufficiently to make a definitive statement, but there is certainly promise for a successful treatment.
