More Production. Less Burden.
OTx is the only patented, bio-based oil-thinning solution that increases crude flow rates, reduces recovery costs, and eliminates the need for toxic additives — all while protecting your wells and the environment.
The Challenge: Heavy Crude & Declining Production
Many reservoirs contain crude with low API — thick, heavy oil that’s hard to recover.
Operators face pressure to recover more from existing formations without costly new drilling or risky fracking.
Conventional thinners require condensates, corrosion inhibitors, and generate hazardous waste.
The result? Lower margins, higher risk, and wasted resources.
The OTx Solution
OTx changes the equation.
- Reduces viscosity of crude, improving mobility and increasing flow rates.
- Works outside the oil molecule, so it can be separated and recovered — up to 90% via centrifuge or low-temp distillation.
- Functions as its own corrosion protectant — no inhibitors required.
- Can mix with or substitute for condensate in downstream production.
- At the refinery, it converts into high-value polyoils — no economic loss.
- Non-toxic, bio-based, biodegradable — safe for workers and the environment.
Proven in field trials across Kern River, Cold Lake, Glen Rose, and more — with rapid recovery and higher output.
OTx delivers higher production without... fracking, high pressure, or toxic additives.

Contact usHow OTx Works
Injection
OTx is introduced into the production stream via a low-volume drip system.
Viscosity reduction
OTx molecules reduce crude thickness, increasing mobility.
Improved flow
Oil flows more freely into the wellbore, increasing daily production.
Separation & recovery
Up to 90% of OTx is recoverable by standard processes.
Downstream integration
Any remaining OTx is refined into valuable polyoils.
Proof of Performance
- Viscosity reduction: From 22,500cTs to 360cTs in Kern River field trials.
- Production uplift: Rapid recovery observed within days, sustained over trial periods.
- No corrosion, no additives needed — OTx provides inherent protection.
- Eliminates condensate requirement at 4°C.
Case Example (anonymized):
- Reservoir: API 18° crude
- Result: +12% daily production within 60 days, disposal costs down 40%.
