ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY SURFACTANT
FLOWTEC
Release the Crude Your Well Is Holding.
A non-ionic plant-based surfactant for production wells, fracing and coiled tubing. It releases paraffin and asphaltene deposits to restore flow. It is non-flammable, pH neutral and not regulated for transport.

Field results from Green Flow Canada's FlowTec case study (Dec 2024). All wells used 2⅜″ tubing in 4½″ casing. Results vary by well and formation.
Download the Full Case StudyHOW IT WORKS
It Doesn't Dissolve Paraffin. It Releases It.
At 1.2 nanometres, FlowTec reaches where traditional treatments may not, allowing the well to do the rest.
- 01
Penetrate
FlowTec's 1.2-nanometre molecule reaches deep into the zone and formation.
- 02
Release
It releases stubborn paraffin, asphaltene and heavy-metal deposits instead of dissolving them.
- 03
Flow
Released deposits move out naturally with produced fluids, restoring flow.
Built for the Well, Start to Finish
From stimulation to production, FlowTec fits the operations you already run.
Every treated case-study well stabilized above its baseline.
- Enhanced oil recovery in vertical and horizontal wells
- Paraffin and asphaltene deposits
- Heavy-metal buildup
- Persistent BS&W (basic sediment and water)
Dosing a Well, Step by Step
4:1–6:1
Dilute
- 14:1, 20% FlowTec
- 25:1, 16.7% FlowTec
- 36:1, 14.3% FlowTec
24–48 h
Inject & Shut In
- 1Pump FlowTec down tubulars or through annulars.
- 2Mix with water at the advised dilution ratio.
- 3Shut in the well for 24–48 hours.
- 4Open the well and monitor returned fluids.
Sizing example: a vertical well with 2⅜″ tubing in 4½″ casing at 6,800–7,500 ft may use one 275-gallon tote.
FlowTec is not a drilling fluid. Dosing is well-specific, so our team will recommend a ratio for your well.

FlowTec Questions, Answered
Still have questions? Talk to a Product SpecialistNo. FlowTec releases paraffin rather than dissolving it, allowing natural removal and flow restoration.
No. FlowTec is a surfactant for production, stimulation and completion processes.
Typically 4:1 to 6:1, which is 14.3% to 20% FlowTec. Dosing is well-specific, so our team will recommend a ratio for your well.
24–48 hours. Then open the well and monitor returned fluids.
It depends on your well volumetrics. As an example, a vertical well with 2⅜″ tubing in 4½″ casing at 6,800–7,500 ft may use one 275-gallon tote.
No PPE is required under normal conditions of use, per the FlowTec Safety Data Sheet. FlowTec is not regulated for transport and needs no special handling procedures.
Yes. FlowTec is suitable as a stand-alone surfactant in fracturing operations and is compatible with coiled tubing and standard application equipment.
FlowTec is compatible with operations that run biocide and corrosion-inhibitor programs. Talk to our team about your well's specific challenges.
Its active agent is a non-ionic plant-based surfactant. The Safety Data Sheet also discloses sodium carbonate and ethanol at low concentrations.
