RDV Protonic Activation for EOR in Active, Mature Reservoirs and Marginal Wells

This study documents pioneering results in marginal wells in Texas, where the application of RDV-00® restored production through delayed protonic activation catalyzed by reservoir energy. The product, based on RDV® (Vasoactive Dynamic Reactor) technology, operates via:Controlled protonation of molecular structures;Release of energetic carbocations;Autonomous transformation without external inputs.(a) Case 1 (Well #E2—Starr County):Certified as “dry” by RRC (2022) after 48 months at 0 BPD; 8 months post-injection of 5 gal RDV-00® (Fluid column: 37 bbl; Wellhead pressure: 80 psi (vs. 0 psi initially)).(b) Case 2 (Well #P1—Luling Field):Historical stripper well (0.25-0.5 BPD);23 months of immobilization with 15 gal RDV-00®;Critical results:(1) Initial production: 42 BPD (8,400% above baseline); (2) Shut-in wellhead pressure: 40 psi (neighboring wells = 0-3 psi); (3) Current behavior: Continuous recharge from reservoir (well shut-in due to lack of storage).(c) Technically Significant Observations:(1) First case of self-sustaining reactivation in depleted wells;(2) Mechanism validated by Autonomous pressure generation (0 → 40-80 psi), and Continuous flow without additional stimulation;(3) No documented precedents in SPE/OnePetro literature to our knowledge.
