GreenZyme®

GreenZyme was invented by Dr. Philip Lau. Dr. Lau obtained his PhD in Chemical Engineering from Texas A&M University. Dr. Lau’s first job was with Dow Chemical where he invented 6 products during his eight years as Research Group Leader. In 1986 Apollo Engineering

Company was formed in Houston, Texas by Dr. Lau. The company later changed its name to

Apollo Separation Technologies USA.Originally used to clean-up oily-sludge tanks and toxic sites, GreenZyme later found its

way into major oilfields in 1990 as an effective EEOR (enzyme enhanced oil

recovery) method.Today, the EEOR process is a worldwide

practice where the GreenZyme product is leading the way as the premiere enzyme EOR solution. As a biological solution that is 100% biodegradable, GreenZyme has been injected

into over one thousand wells for various clients including major operators all over the world for successful enhanced oil recovery.

GreenZyme is an environmentally friendly EOR solution. Product is proudly manufactured in USA.

Page 6: MadMackenzie GreenZyme Technical_Rev 9.7.16

To meet rising demand for crude oil consumption in the coming decades, most major energy companies are putting their research efforts in newer and better technologies in all kinds of enhanced oil recovery projects.There are three main branches of EOR technologies, solutions based on chemistry, physics and biology. All three branches are coming to a new age of development, with various degrees of success in oilfield applications.DNA based bio-enzymes, acting as a pure catalyst in E-EOR (Enzyme Enhanced Oil Recovery) has had a great deal of historical success. GreenZyme®, being the first bio-enzyme extensively applied to major oilfields since 1990s, is the clear outlier having significant enhancement achievements.E-EOR with GreenZyme is approached from theoretical basis, an analytical basis, and from an applications perspective to find strong candidates for EOR success with MadMackenzie Solutions. The following slides show how GreenZyme is manufactured as a biological solution for oil field enhanced recovery, and how this solution becomes such a catalytic success in reservoirs during the EOR process.

Core unclogging experiments & results using GreenZyme

Raw material: Natural sand (NS) with low permeability. Quartz sand (QS) with high permeability. Crude oil: Gudong oil, Shengli Oilfield, ~18 API. Oil-contaminated water (OCW), i.e. water + 10% oil.

Procedures:1.) Core sample go through complete vacuum, then let saturated with water soak. Measure water penetration rate, and pumping pressure required to pump through core sample.

2.) Force pumping OCW through the core: NS core: 0.3 ml/min pumping rate to create uniform primary cross-sectional clogging. QS core: same with 1.0 ml/min rate for primary clogging, also allow free migration of solids to create secondary clogging.

3.) Pump 1 core-volume of 10% GreenZyme® into core sample for all tests.

4.) Rest all tested materials at constant room temperature for 48-hours.

5) Pump salt water at 0.3 ml/min rate through core, and record pressure changes needed for pumping.

GreenZyme is immune?

You 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.

Presence of paraffins, naphthalene, asphaltenes or sulfur at any percentage content.

Any radio-active isotopes (i.e. NORM) in the crude oil.
