RAM Biochemicals Began Treating Oil Wells in 1986
The company was active through 1996, but protracted low oil prices (1992-2006) forced us into dormancy. Global economic conditions combined with a proven history of incremental oil production brought RAM out of dormancy.
In 2008, RAM was awarded a DOE/SWC grant to validate its MEOR technology. Successful field trials will present significant opportunities for stripper well producers. MEOR technologies capable of lowering oil/water cuts, addressing near well-bore problems, arresting decline curves, and substantially increasing marginal well production merit serious consideration.

Microbial Improved oil Recovery via cyclic injection of individual wells and enhanced waterflooding.

Validation of Incremental Oil Production via Single Well and Reservoir Field Trials

RAM Biochemicals' Wel-Prep™ provides oil producers proven cost effective MEOR / MIOR technology to increase oil production and profits.

MEOR / MIOR is proven to produce incremental oil.   Production declines can be halted, decreases in oil / water ratios can be achieved, and significant increases in oil production from single wells and entire oil fields can be gained .  Wel-Prep™ was commercially viable with oil above $20/barrel.   Independent producers and oil field service companies found Wel-Prep Oil Recovery Fluid to be a stable, environmentally friendly and easy to use treatment fluid.   Incremental oil production from multiple field trials demonstrated net positive treatment cost vs. payout ratios.

Multiple tax advantages  at the local, state and Federal level are applicable to qualified tertiary recovery projects.  This creates additional incentives for independent and major oil producers to use Wel-Prep Oil Recovery Fluid in their MEOR / MIOR programs.
Oil & Gas Journal Article
Following in the footsteps of the early pioneers in MEOR / MIOR, Ram Biochemicals established a new benchmark in Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery MEOR / MIOR. From 1987 until 1992 RAM's treatment process enabled oil producers in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Tennessee, and Illinois to maximize their wells' potential.  Wel-Prep  is coming back onto the market!
Field Production Results from Wel-Prep 5 show incremental oil production.   Ram's proprietary process technology converts beverage, brewing and baking industry waste into commercially viable products.  Wel-Prep Oil Recovery Fluid was developed in 1986 to provide a low cost environmentally responsible solution to failing marginal well production. Cyclic injections   known as the "Bio Huff & Puff" treatment method produced demonstrable results in single well treatments.  Field flooding of mature oil fields and treatments applied when reopening previously shut-in wells are practical applications for Ram's MEOR/MIOR technology.

"Buehler No. 1 does appear to be up from 60 - 80% after 24 days. It looks like another 10 days at this sustained production level will result in a clear payout not counting the reduction in operating expenses during the shut in period."

"Take a long hard look at the Hartmen-Winter-Walizer lease for the past two months since our second micro-organism treatment and explain to me what's happening! It looks pretty substantial and exciting!!"
. . . Starr F. Schlobohm,
Schlobohm Oil Operations - 1991

"The pulling units are working a lot less than before. Paraffin buildup is not nearly the problem it was before we began our MEOR treatment regime. Overall lease production is up 21%"
. . L. Jack Gross Production - 1987-1991 



"The Osbourn #2 and #4 normally have required 2-3 pulling and steam cleaning jobs per year. In the past 8 months since we began MEOR treatments, no pulling has been required. This has saved us about $8,000 in addition to our substantial oil production increases."
