GreenZyme Technology Introduction
Dr. Philip Lau obtained his PhD in Chemical Engineering from Texas A&M University and began his career working with Dow Chemical.
Dow Career• 10-year tenure serving as Dow Research Group Leader• Managed 300 technical staff, 60 of which were PhD’s• His group developed ASP technologies still utilized today • Dr. Lau personally commercialized 12-patent technologies
during the same period
Only two promotions away from achieving the honour of Dow Fellow, Dr. Lau resigned from his role to fulfil his vision to create a new technology – the first of its kind – a non-living catalyst.

New Frontiers in EOR
Methodologies by Application of
Enzymes
SPE 154690: Tarang Jain and Akash
Sharma “The enzyme function of
the product is due to the fact that
the enzymes release oil, but are not
consumed in the releasing
mechanism. After the release of
hydrocarbons the enzymes will be
attached to the solid surfaces and…
are available to interact with new
hydrocarbons and cause the release
of oil.”

“… [GreenZyme] was applied to the
Shengli field in China and increased
production was sustained for 180 days
producing an additional 10,961 bbl.
…With continued development over
the next two years, more than 100
wells saw enzyme applications with a
success ratio of greater than 88%.”

“GreenZyme® is the EOR of the
future: cleaner, safer, and smarter.
It is a biodegradable, biological
enzyme derivative. It digests
nothing, dissolves nothing, and
causes nothing to grow. GreenZyme
performs its biological function in
every reservoir.”
EEOR Success in Mann Field, Myanmar
“The environment-friendly enzyme, a
biological catalyst, can significantly accelerate
(several million reactions per second) release
of oil from grain surfaces in an oil reservoir. In
addition, it can change rock wettability from
oil-wet to water-wet to GreenZyme-wet, thus
reducing interfacial tension of solids and oil-
flow resistance through formation pore
spaces. The enzyme works biologically,
theoretically never being consumed,
reapplied until diluted by produced water.”
How does GreenZyme work?

GreenZyme® physically releases oil from solid,
relieving IFT, improving contact angle and
alleviating capillary pressures

Technology & Mechanism
GreenZyme® is the evolution of microbe-biology technology for the purpose of improved oil-recovery. The product is
engineered through a proprietary DNA-transfer process that involves impregnating a high-protein nutrient solution
with selective DNA of oil-digesting microbes. This process results in an inert and water-soluble protein DNA-molecule,
a non-living biological enzyme, specifically designed to act as an oil-releasing catalyst, capable of producing millions of
reactions per second.
The enzymatic function of the catalyst is strictly limited to its interaction with hydrocarbons. As a true-catalyst,
GreenZyme® has the ability to perform its function repeatedly as a non-consumable agent, without loss of efficacy
over time. The mechanism involves three components: H+, OH-, and an “active site”, which represents the proprietary
DNA component. The H+ and OH- components form a polar part and the active site forms a non-ionic part. Upon
contact with a hydrocarbon the non-ionic part allows the enzyme to penetrate the hydrocarbon, whereby the polar H+
and OH- components work to release microscopic droplets of oil.
The result of this unique behavior is a clean release of oil by relieving interfacial tension, improving contact
angle and alleviating capillary pressures. This process is continuous over time and produces no byproducts of
any kind. The hydrocarbon’s mobility is improved without impacting the hydrocarbon chain or changing
viscosity. GreenZyme’s® enzymatic catalyst function is capable of providing production impacts that have
been measured in the field for durations in excess of 12 months after a single treatment.
GreenZyme® is the industry’s first non-consumable and reusable downhole oil-recovery
technology, an environmentally-friendly solution.

GreenZyme®Effects of
Behavior
Catalyst for changing wettability
GZ changes wettability. Oil-wetted and water-wetted surfaces
are turned into GreenZyme-wetted surfaces, releasing residual
oils and enhancing the formation’s ability to flow.
Working with paraffin
GZ is not a solvent, however as a result of its behavior GZ is able
to help mobilize paraffin with the residual oils it encounters.
Releasing Oil
GZ catalytically releases oil in the form of tiny droplets that
dramatically improve the oil’s mobility to flow throughout the
formation.
IFT and Permeability
GZ works as a catalyst to reduce IFT and increase relative-
permeability, helping to promote hydrocarbon migration from
rock.

GreenZyme E-EOR versus Microbes
GreenZyme is immune?
Do not need to worry about the following conditions:
pH of fluid in sand formation.
Salinity of fluid in sand formation.
Temperature in sand formation. In laboratory tests, GreenZyme® does not degrade under pressure up to 270 degrees C.
Presence of any metallic ions in sand formation; since GreenZyme® is a biological agent, not a chemical agent, GreenZyme® does not react with most natural chemicals present inside typical sand formations.
Any radio-active isotopes (i.e. NORM) in the crude oil.
Initial signs of success after GreenZyme treatment
A rise in new Static Liquid Level is a evidence of GreenZyme® success
➢ Static Liquid Level of well will rise,
confirming increased pressure down-hole
caused by release of oil from formation.
➢ New Production Rate will always require
increase in pump jack cyclical rate and/or caused by the treatment with GreenZyme®
Remember: Lifting the new volume of fluid is
the only way to produce the additional oil released from the pay zone by GreenZyme®

Execution The Situation
• Product delivery in progress
• Low psi stim job scheduled to execute in Q3
• Execution of Qty-2 unconv. brownfield stim
• Trial to mobilize oil w/less required energy/psi
• Successful indicators will include:
• Improved oil production and flow rate
• Reduced duration of time to produce
• Assist Oil mobility to produce at less psi
The Method
• GreenZyme injected with water at low psi to
stimulate residual oil in the fractures
• Qty-2 drums (55-gal each) per well, mixed with
water at ratio of 4-gpt (gallons per thousand)
• Solution will benefit oil migration thru proppant
network and small closures with less required
energy/psi to produce
• Mixed with frac water, GreenZyme will treat an unconventional horizonal during
a multi-stage frac process.
• Implemented during the frac process, GreenZyme will maximize its opportunity
to interact with hydrocarbons.
• As each stage is completed GreenZyme will benefit from a beneficial soak
period, optimizing its impact potential.
• When production begins the following improvements to oil mobility are
achieved:
• Oil-released from the surface of rock
• Reduced IFT & capillary pressures
• Improved contact angle
• Improved relative-permeability
• Maximize recovery of OOIP
• Reduced impact to environment

GreenZyme®Summary of
Benefits
Improving Oil Migration
GZ’s impact to IFT and contact angle aid oil’s mobility to travel
through formation more efficiently, requiring less pressure drive
Paraffin Mitigation
GZ is not a solvent, however as a result of its behavior GZ is able
alleviate blockages to help mobilize paraffin with the residual
oils it encounters
Recover More OOIP
GZ is the industry’s first non-consumable and re-usable
downhole recovery solution, proven to Recover More OOIP
Heavy Oil Production
Mobilize heavy oil more efficiently than traditional chems and
does not impact the hydrocarbon chain or cause emulsions
