TenEx Technologies Extends Pump Life in Williston Basin Wells

The deployment in the Williston Basin targeted the persistent industry challenge of proppant production, which frequently forces premature pump shutdowns. Unlike traditional mechanical interventions, the SandBOND™ process utilizes a non-resin, atomized aluminum-based chemistry. The treatment is introduced via a simple bullhead procedure followed by a 24-hour soak, bypassing the need for specialized equipment or intervention rigs.

TenEx CEO Miguel Peña noted that the results validate the technology's ability to stabilize long-lateral wells without sacrificing output. Field data confirms that both test wells achieved 100% regained permeability, with pumps remaining operational beyond the 12-month mark. CTO Amr Radwan highlighted that the primary hurdle for operators is often the trade-off between sand control and flow capacity, a balance this chemical approach claims to resolve.
