The Force Behind
Every Barrel
Meet the Single Shot IOR
Well Remediation Redefined
Using exclusive, patented Single Shot IOR technologies,
C3 Oilfield Services redefines well remediation
by tackling multiple wellbore challenges in a
streamlined process. This advanced approach combines
miscibility, chemical systems, and solvents, clay contractions
offering versatile, efficient solutions for operators
of all sizes.
Driving ROI in Tight
Reservoirs
C3 Oilfield Services tackles declining production in tight reservoirs with our Single Shot IOR technique. By leveraging natural gas liquids (NGLs) and our proprietary chemistries, we mobilize hydrocarbons with our patented technology to restore well output.
Triple the Power,
Triple the ROI with
Single Shot
Wet
Condensate Blockage
Our technologies clear blockages in gas
condensate wells by using pure propane (C3) to
lift the liquid, allowing gas flow to resume.
Paraffin Build-Up
Paraffin build-up can choke production,
making it difficult for oil to flow freely. C3’s solution involves
using hydrocarbons to dissolve and break down the paraffin,
effectively restoring production and improving well
performance through targeted wellbore remediation at a lower cost.
Water Damage and Swollen Clay Formation
We pump a combination of NGLs and our patented
surfactants into the reservoir to combat this. This
mixture remediates water damage and reduces
clay swelling, guaranteeing smoother and more
productive operations.

How It Works?
Single Shot IOR: The Waterless
Solution for Optimal Oil
Recovery
From 2000 to 2021, around 80% of U.S. gas
wells produced less than 15 barrels of oil
equivalent per day—a rate that falls short of
meeting energy demands.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Boosting Well Productivity and Enhancing Performance
-
01. Preparation
Specialized well remediation
equipment, including bulkers, chemical
trucks, and pumps, arrives days before
the job. Rig ups and pressure testing
are completed in advance. -
02. Job Start
At first daylight, engineers control the
operation remotely, focusing on oil and gas
extraction and monitoring pressure changes
throughout the process. -
03. Injection
LPG injection begins with a customized chemical mix, cocktail, mobilizing trapped oil or gas by reducing its viscosity.
-
04. Completion:
After the operation, the well is shut in, then
returned to production the next day or so with
increased oil recovery and mobilized water. -
05. Zonal Isolation
Diversion slugs isolate treated
zones, enabling the LPG to treat
the entire formation. -
06. Results:
The process increases stimulated rock volume, enhances wellbore remediation, and delivers the fastest results in the industry, all within a waterless system that minimizes seismic risk.
Imagine a method that stimulates natural
gas and oil well production without the use of water.
Our approach offers:
Proven Success in Oil
Well Stimulation
I regularly recommend their services, the argument is clear: short term increased production that pays for the service within 90 days.
We’ve used Citric Acid stimulation in the past and there’s no comparison on the results. We saw a production increase and the ability to measure the increase.
I can confidently say that it increases short term production by a factor of 3 on wells that have seen production decrease not due to depletion
It clearly increases production and cleans up obstructions that are naturally built in the pore space over time with hydrocarbon flow. It was proven in my tests that it releases trapped water from the pore space especially pore walls.
Single Shot vs. Conventional Oil
Recovery Methods
| Technology | Pros | Cons | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Well Blowdowns | Common | Not Efficient |
Temporarily restores gas flow but causes methane emissions and pollution. Ineffective for maintaining pressure, requiring frequent repetition. |
| Foaming Agents And Surfactants | Cost Efficient | Limited Use |
Reduces fluid column friction, improving gas lift. Most effective in early production decline with at least 50% water present. |
| Velocity Tubing | Cost-Prohibitive | Low-Maintenance |
Increases flow velocity by using smaller diameter tubing, effective in low-velocity wells or late in the well’s life. |
| Plunger Lift | Durable | Challenging To Operate |
Builds pressure when idle to push liquids to the surface. Requires technical expertise for installation and operation. |
| Rod Pumping Units | - - | Increases Liquid Volumes |
Utilized when other methods fail, installed near the end of a well’s life to increase liquid volumes. |
