An Industry Milestone
Microscopic photos show for the first time an oil droplet deforming and breaking up by the activity of microbes under the influence of the Titan Process.
In the following series of nine microscopic photographs the Titan Process can be seen at work, surrounding an oil droplet, distorting and breaking off a smaller droplet of oil.
Photo 1: Titan Process microbes surround an oil droplet,
Photos 2 & 3: Oil droplet distorts due to microbial action.
Photos 4 through 8: A smaller droplet is formed by the microbes and released.
Photo 9: Another smaller droplet starts to form and break away by the action of the microbes. These newly formed smaller oil droplets have less resistance to capillary pressure within the pore spaces of the reservoir and thereby are more mobile and can more easily move through the pore throats and the pore matrix.
