V6 Surface Oil Production
On average, 1% to 5% of daily oil production is sludge (unresolved emulsion). Basically, sludge is a blend of hydrocarbon, water and inorganic sediment. Sludge is highly viscous and non-pumpable. Currently, to recover crude oil from sludge is a long, complex and costly process. In most operations, sludge is classified as waste which is disposed off. Over time, if the sludge is not disposed, it will accumulate and create tank capacity issues, environmental pollution and increase operational cost.
For more than 50 years, crude oil production technology advancement has been incrementally slow, with almost insignificant change occurring. With V6 technology, the oil recovery process is revolutionized. V6 allows for the quick harvesting of crude oil from sludge at low production cost. On average, V6 recovery factor is 95% or higher. V6 is a strategic technology that will bring oil production industry to another level.
Technology Breakthrough
V6 developed based on nano chemistry technology. This gives significant advantages to extend the potential of the chemistry solution. Typically, oil recovery from ‘unconventional reserve’ requires huge amount of acid, heating equipment and complex operation.
As the photos above, the result show the sludge mixed with V6 is liquified. The sludge viscosity reduces by 90%. In addition, 95% hydrocarbon has been recovered from this sludge. This test proved V6 works even without heat and mechanical mixture. In addition, V6 dosage required is low(50-200ppm) and V6 is non-acidic solution. Hence, it is safe and non-corrosive.
A lab simulation test was designed to see the performance of V6. The purpose of this test is to see the oil percentage recovery using V6. This to ensure V6 can work in any environment which was simulated in the lab. As the picture shown below, two sets of sludge were prepared. Both mixed with crude oil and one set mixed with V6. The test was conducted in 20 degree Celsius or below room temperature. Both samples were soaked for 4 hours to see the result. The test was repeated with different dosage of V6. Hence, we can find the most optimum dosage for V6 to perform.

FAQ
Crude oil sludge is aged emulsion. It is a high viscosity, semisolid that accumulates over time in the crude storage tank. Typical sludge composition is made up of a mixture of heavy hydrocarbons, water and inorganic solids (sand, scale, silt)
The oil recovered using V6 meets export-grade crude quality. It has low BS&W (as low as 0.3%), good API gravity (25°– 35°), no acidic or hazardous residues, and improved viscosity. The oil is compatible with refinery feedstock and can be blended or sent directly to refineries for processing.
Yes. Once tested and certified, the V6-recovered oil qualifies for commercial sale and can be exported or refined based on the standard crude assay.
V6 Technology is developed with low energy consumption and non-toxic components, making it a safer alternative for oil recovery.
