Description
BioSqueeze Inc. delivers proven, biologically driven well integrity solutions for complex subsurface challenges across the oil and gas lifecycle. With more than 350 deployments across North America, BioSqueeze has earned the trust of operators and regulators alike by remediating integrity failures where cements, resins, and mechanical interventions routinely fall short.
Integrity issues such as annular leaks, gas migration, casing leaks, and unwanted water production can arise at any stage of a well’s life… reducing asset value, increasing environmental risk, and complicating compliance and abandonment efforts. BioSqueeze addresses these challenges by combining extensive subsurface expertise with innovative biomineralization technology. Low-viscosity fluids composed of natural soil microbes access hard-to-reach pathways where they grow limestone at the molecular level to produce a controlled reduction in permeability that results in a permanent, gas-tight barrier.
Intervention strategies are custom tailored to the condition and constraints of each well. Treatments can often be executed riglessly, minimizing equipment and personnel, reducing costs, and slashing operational risk, while preserving casing integrity and full wellbore access. Fluids are capable of penetrating in excess of 800 ft from the point of injection into sub-micron pathways allowing for non-intrusive restoration of existing barriers. This capability makes the technology particularly well-suited for sealing leaks in wells that have already been plugged to surface, where re-entry or drill-out is undesirable or cost-prohibitive.
Every project begins with a rigorous candidate evaluation led by BioSqueeze’s multidisciplinary team of subsurface experts. Detailed reviews of well history, construction, pressure behavior, diagnostics, and known failure mechanisms are used to develop a customized intervention strategy that targets the true source of leakage and maximizes the likelihood of success. This disciplined, data-driven approach has produced an industry leading success rate translating into increased operational efficiency, reduced remediation costs, and permanent integrity.
