Houston, TX, April 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Superior Vitality Companies, Inc. (“Superior”) immediately introduced the worldwide launch of EcoReach™, a next-generation micro-proppant know-how designed to scale back prices, enhance operational effectivity and assist extra sustainable oil and fuel completions.
EcoReach™ represents a strategic development in stimulation know-how, delivering measurable manufacturing enhancements with out complicated chemical blends or polymers. The launch reinforces Superior’s dedication to innovation, manufacturing enhancement and operational effectivity throughout home and worldwide markets.
EcoReach™ delivers 5 clear advantages for operators
Improved manufacturing efficiency: Demonstrated, sustained manufacturing will increase in each new and legacy wells.Reaches areas typical sand might miss: Nano-scale, spherical micro-proppant travels deeper into microfractures, enabling far-field propagation and sustained conductivity past the near-wellbore.Decrease whole completion prices: Reduces water and horsepower calls for, eliminates chemical necessities, and permits the usage of produced water from the host formation.Smaller operational footprint: Decrease hydraulic horsepower necessities, fewer vehicles and diminished onsite gear.Easier execution: Seamlessly integrates into typical fracture spreads for multi-stage horizontal wells.
“Our customers are facing the dual challenge of increasing production while controlling costs and minimizing environmental impact,” stated Dave Lesar, Chairman and Chief Govt Officer of Superior. “EcoReach™ offers a differentiated alternative to conventional proppants, with proven field performance and a simpler, lower-impact operational profile.”

A wiser method to stimulation and prolonged attain
EcoReach™ is a patented manufacturing enhancement know-how that makes use of a micro-proppant derived from coal combustion byproducts. The light-weight, spherical particles are roughly 5 occasions smaller than conventional proppants, permitting them to journey deeper into microfractures, stay suspended longer and preserve rock fissures open after stimulation.
As a result of EcoReach™ operates with out polymers, gels or biocides, operators can stimulate wells utilizing much less water and decrease horsepower. The system integrates seamlessly with present infrastructure, will be pumped utilizing commonplace cementing gear and is suitable with conventional stimulation chemistry. Each contemporary and produced water could also be used as the blending fluid, providing extra value flexibility.

Area-proven efficiency
EcoReach™ has been deployed in additional than 140 new and legacy wells, delivering constant manufacturing enhancements throughout a number of basins.
In a single documented case in Dumas, Texas, a properly handled with water and 150,000 kilos of EcoReach™ elevated manufacturing from 5 barrels of oil per day to 52 BOPD, whereas water manufacturing remained steady. The therapy sustained a four-fold manufacturing enhance over a four-year interval with out extra floor disturbance or chemical components.
Within the Olmos Formation of South Texas, EcoReach™ has efficiently re-stimulated growing old and beforehand shut-in wells. Documented outcomes embrace manufacturing will increase of as much as 20 occasions the restart of dormant wells and flatter decline curves maintained for greater than 4 years.
These purposes spotlight EcoReach™’s capacity to revive reservoir connectivity, enhance cluster effectivity and ship long-term efficiency utilizing easy, repeatable operations.
Operational and environmental benefits

EcoReach™ is designed to scale back each operational complexity and floor influence. Its light-weight, spherical particles are much less erosive than typical sand, serving to cut back put on on downhole and floor gear. The decrease horsepower necessities can translate to fewer vehicles onsite, quieter operations and diminished logistical calls for.
By eliminating the necessity for polymers and stabilizers and considerably decreasing water use, EcoReach™ helps operators’ environmental aims whereas minimizing the danger of formation harm.
“EcoReach™ reflects our focus on creating customer value through practical innovation,” stated Jim Brown, President and Chief Working Officer of Superior. “It performs across a wide range of well conditions and plays, giving operators a reliable, flexible solution to remain competitive.”
International alternative
EcoReach™ enters the market as operators worldwide search extra environment friendly and sustainable completion options. Areas such because the Center East, North Africa and Southeast Asia face growing strain from water shortage, value sensitivity and evolving environmental expectations, challenges EcoReach™ is properly positioned to deal with.
The know-how is engineered for versatile deployment throughout various geographies with out the necessity for big crews, specialised gear or heavy infrastructure.
“We developed EcoReach™ to help operators get more from existing reservoirs while simplifying execution and supporting environmental goals,” stated Curtis Wilie, Vice President of Manufacturing Enhancement at Superior. “We are excited to bring this innovation to our global partners.”
