SELVA SERVICES

Selva Energy Services joined Novatech, Indago Energy Limited and Hydrocarbon Dynamics to become an strategic partner to Heavy Oil Operators in Colombia. Colombia as a prime location for heavy oil production and transport will greatly benefit from Multiflow® properties as a means to reducing diluent demand and costs. Multiflow® is specially engineered carbon based molecule designed to lower viscosity and uplift API reducing transport costs in pipelines systems, and improving recovery in reservoirs.

Flow assurance can be a constant and crucial challenge when paraffin wax, asphaltene and resin deposition downgrades your pipeline flow rates, size, and drag, significantly increases your production systems spend and disrupts your cash flow. Hydrocarbon Dynamic’s proprietory formula Multiflow®is the one-stop answer.

Multiflow® chemical is a green tech molecular disaggregator that effectively controls waxes, asphaltenes and resins at a lower dosage rate whilst dramatically reducing BS&W by rapid in-line separation of the water and oil phases, breaking emulsions and eliminating foam

Multi-FlowTM chemical is a green tech molecular disaggregator that effectively controls waxes, asphaltenes and resins at a lower dosage rate whilst dramatically reducing BS&W by rapid in-line separation of the water and oil phases, breaking emulsions and eliminating foam.

MULTIFLOW® BENEFITS

Lowers the pour point of
paraffinic crudes

By re-liquefying paraffin, thereby improving production and recovery rates and reducing transport costs.

lowers viscosity
of heavy oils

Increasing API gravity and reliquefying asphaltenes, improving production, recovery rates, cutting costs by reducing need for heat & diluent.

Breaks oil and
water emulsions

Reducing BS&W levels, improving crude oil quality (and price), reducing operating costs plus pipeline and production equipment corrosion rates.

Multiflow® provides a clean, green, cost-effective solution to the production, transport, storage and refining of heavy oils.

COLOMBIA HEAVY OILS

MIDSTREAM

  • MultiFlow® successfully used to reduce diluent volumes in China and Canada.

  • Colombia 2018 average Heavy Oil production: 400,000 BOPD.

  • In average 15% diluent is required to transport Heavy Oil, 60,000 BPD imported.

  • Estimated diluents cost of 1.6 $BBUSD per year. Any reduction on diluent cost represent $MMUSD in savings to Operators.

  • In 2019 Selva Energy Services will start pilots to prove efficiencies in field operations and demonstrate potential savings to operators.

Colombia Heavy Oils

  • HO Production – 400,000 BOPD

  • 15% diluent for transport

  • 60,000 BPD imported diluents

Viscocities

  • Fields > 4000 cSt

  • Pipeline Specs < 600 cSt

UPSTREAM

  • MultiFlow® was tested successfully in USA heavy oil wells.

  • Colombia average Heavy Oil production 2018: 400,000 BOPD.

  • Average Field RF 8-10%.

  • 1% Increase in RF is equivalent to 1.5 MM barrels per year of new production.

  • During 2019 Selva Energy Services plans to inject MultiFlow® into active heavy oil low producing reservoirs seeking to increase productivities reducing viscosities and raising API Gravity.

Southern Llanos Heavy Oil Fields

  • HO Production 2018 – 400,000 BOPD.

  • Heavy Oil Reserves 1500 MMBbls.

  • Recovery Factors 8-10%.
