Our Story

Diagnostic stimulation optimization tracers are composed of DNA sequences that are attached to a metallic core then encapsulated within invisible particles that can be mixed with any fluid providing it with a unique fingerprint, which is easily identified and quantified with the state-of-the-art bio-analytics used in medicine and forensics. The use of DNA allows DSO to generate as many distinct fingerprints as are needed, since unlimited DNA sequences are available. The encapsulation dramatically improves DNA stability, providing unprecedented resilience in harsh conditions. All tracer materials are non-toxic and environmentally friendly.

Our Technology

Provides businesses with a patented disruptive technological solution to bring visibility and efficiency to anything that can be traced.

Tracers have historically been used to understand the effectiveness of waterfloods to see how far a service provider can “reach”, aka – horizontal displacement distance from the wellhead in any direction (if it’s a vertical well) Can also determine if pore sizes are limiting factors in the waterflood where oil can get caught in pore throats and is held by capillary pressure, debris, etc. Historically use radioactive sources for this but only has a half-life of 6 months or so to reduce environmental concerns. The use of DNA Allows DSO to generate as many distinct fingerprints as are needed, since unlimited DNA sequences are available. The encapsulation dramatically improves DNA stability, providing unprecedented resilience in harsh conditions. All tracer materials are non-toxic and environmentally friendly.

Oil and Gas

The idea here is to finally understand how accurately completion designs were executed. You can determine whether or not it would have been able to propagate or not near the max height.

Oligo/DNA

The particles encapsulating the DNA are extremely small spheres less than 1 micron. Such particles are widely used in food products food additive and packaging, cosmetics, sunscreens, and pharmaceutical formulations.

Application in Hydraulic Fracturing

The idea here is to finally understand how accurately completion designs were executed. These can help understand frac height (because of the way the chemicals mimic water molecules you can determine whether or not it would have been able to propagate or not near the max height), stage length, and cluster spacing. You can also use these to determine which stages are actually producing or not (screen-out problems, etc). In addition, zonal communications, flowback efficiency per fluid scheduling or stage, efficiency of chemical additives and oil productivity of each zone can be determined.

Application in EOR & Reservoir Characterization

This is a very useful way to evaluate real fluid flow through specific reservoir rocks. Being able to understand where fluid flows can help indicate debris in pore spaces, confirm variability in pore sizes, and otherwise give the “bigger-picture” on flow through large acreage This can also be used with understanding well spacing between different wells, pads, and zipper fracs You can determine flow properties of wells that have been drilled in a “snake-like pattern” in something called a heel-toe ratio. This is where fluids & contaminates get caught at some point in a wellbore wall. The reason why this is important is it can lead to premature production decline, cleanouts, etc., and ultimately provide a more accurate NPV10 when calculating the well value for mergers and acquisitions, divestment, etc.
