followed
by
reinjection
of
the

The
system
is
trailer
mounted
or
can
be
containerized
for
shipment
throughout
the

Because
of
the
modular
design,
the
process
can
be
adapted
for
most
site

conditions.
§ Our
blends
enhance
the
native
microbial
growth
of
any
site.
Our
proprietary
blends
not
only
remove
contaminants;
they
enhance
the
micro

that
may
be
left
with
traditional

23. Mechanism of Oil Recovery
High salinity water compresses divalent bridges that link oil molecules with clay particles. By injecting Rb Aq which contains
very low salinity, the electrical compression force is reduced and the bridges are able to expand allowing for a non bridging
monovalent ion like Na+ to access and replace the divalent ions. This allows the oil to be swept towards the producing well.

Increased
Oil
§ On
June
1,
2012,
rebound
was
introduced
into
a
2,200
ft.
well
that
produced
only
0.5
bpd
for
a
period
of
three
years.
§ Based
on
the
calculations
of
water
in
the
system,
five
gallons
of
Rebound
Aq
was
poured
into
the
well
inlet
at
a
0.5%
dilution
which
resulted
in
a
final
.04%
dilution.
The
pump
was
set
to
percolate
and
the
product
was
allowed
to
permeate
into
the
surrounding
near
well
bore
formation.
Upon
restarting
the
pump,
the
operator
showed
a
significant
increase
in
oil
flowback,
up
to
5
bpd.
The
operator
also
noticed
sand
from
the
Austin
chalk
formation
represented
in
the
recovered
product.
This
was
a
significant
observation
showing
Rebounds
ability
to
clean
out
the
veins
of
the
formation
and
proppant
sand
from
the
original
fracture.
This
increase
in
production
lasted
for
three
weeks.
Before
the
use
of
Rebound,
the
wells
produced
10.5
barrels
of
oil
in
a
three
week
time
frame.
After
treatment
with
Rebound,
the
next
three
weeks
produced
105
barrels
of
oil
resulting
in
a
900
%
increase
in
production.

Increased

Savings
§ On
February
14,
2013
Rebound
Aq
was
introduced
into
a
field
of
6
wells
that
were
drilled
in
the
1940’s.
The
property
owner
stated
previously
prior
to
treatment,
they
produced
a
steady
3
½
inches
[which
is
equivalent
to
1
barrel
=
1
inch]
or
3.5
bpd.
After
partial
treatment
of
Rb
into
the
production
water
tank,
they
saw
an
increase
to
a
steady
4
bpd.
After
the
plumbing
was
complete
and
the
pressure
dropped
at
the
injection
well
and
injection
pump,
he
had
one
day
of
6
barrels
of
production,
and
two
days
of
5
½
barrels,
then
5
barrels.
After
which
it
subsided
to
4
½
barrels
and
remained
constant.
The
first
of
September
showed
an
increase
to
8bpd
and
has
steadied
throughout
the
month.
That
is
an
increase
of
128%.
Turning
on
the
injection
pump
along
with
the
MR
pump
injecting
3.48
gallons
of
Rb
mixture
a
day,
did
indeed
allow
the
pressures
at
both
the
injection
pump
and
the
injection
well
to
reach
a
sustained
maximum
pressure
allowance
of
200
PSI
for
a
time
period
of
40
minutes
after
building
gradually.
The
injection
well’s
pressure
went
down
to
100
PSI,
and
gradually
decreased
from
there.
This
is
a
two-‐fold
benefit,
one
being
there
is
less
mechanical
strain
kept
on
the
injection
pump,
resulting
in
both
longer
life
span
of
the
pump
and
porcelain
pistons
but
also
a
decreased
electricity
bill
as
the
pump
works
more
efficiently
to
push
fluid
down
the
line.
The
operator
also
estimates
a
gas
production
increase
of
20-‐30%,
although
this
was
not
documented.
