Engineered Salinity - Esal

ESal, LLC was founded in 2014 and is the world's leader in the understanding of reservoir wettability optimization. ESal’s mission is to increase oil recovery for oil producers and investors by engineering salinity to alter wettability using our patented process. This process is predicated on proprietary screening algorithms, laboratory experiments, and computer modeling. We have a unique ability to identify which fields are excellent candidates from standard petroleum data and then use our laboratory to measure and determine the salinity that creates optimum wettability for each reservoir. The patented ESal process improves wettability and increases recovery by changing the injection water salinity to increase recovery without adding chemicals. This is achieved by changing completion fluid salinity in unconventional wells and blending the produced water with surface or other ground water in conventional waterfloods thereby resulting in increased recovery by 5 to 15% OOIP at a savings of 50-70% to our customers.
