Increase well productivity with Production Enhancement (PROE) technology
Maximizing oil production and increasing reserves is a primary goal for both conventional and unconventional reservoirs. ChampionX’s Production Enhancement (PROE) technologies help achieve this by either altering formation wettability or reducing interfacial tension (IFT) through a unique blend of proprietary ingredients. The PROE technology is versatile and can be applied at any stage of the well lifecycle in both conventional and unconventional reservoirs.

Our PROE program advantage
From single well enhancement/stimulation scenarios to frac completions packages and tight oil reservoir water floods, we’ve successfully applied this technology in more than 300 projects around the world.


Short return on investment


Increased oil production rates / improved oil recovery


Effective at low concentrations


Designed to prevent emulsions issues during flowback


Surfactant-based technology is customized to reservoir condition and formation


Applicable in ultra-tight formations; permeability of one nano-Darcy and higher
The PROE technology platform
Our PROE technology can be used across assets, basins, and markets to enhance production and extend the economical life of the well.

Full-service PROE solutions
First, we study your unique scenario and develop a plan for improving production. Then we test and evaluate our recommendation before and during application. Finally, we monitor and analyze the results to ensure the program is optimized and remains successful.
