Common target plays
Woodford • Middle Wolfcamp • Vaca Muerta • Barnett • Antrim • New Albany
Screen against the actual formation, crude, and brine conditions.
Application insight
Reservoir mineralogy, brine chemistry, and oil chemistry guide the surfactant package. Evaluation considers interfacial tension, wettability, contact angle, and adsorption behavior.
FSW-12Moderate-Salinity Stimulation Surfactant II
Improves hydrocarbon mobility and fluid cleanup in moderate-salinity reservoirs where a different stimulation-surfactant profile is needed. It is designed to reduce capillary trapping and help the reservoir give fluids back more efficiently after stimulation.
Product & application detail
FSW-12 is a formation-specific stimulation surfactant tuned for a different range of reservoir and brine conditions than FSW-11. Its surfactant package is selected around formation behavior, brine chemistry, wettability, and interfacial-tension performance.
Common target plays
Eagle Ford (moderate salinity) • Niobrara • Austin Chalk • Utica • select Barnett intervals • Haynesville (moderate salinity)
Screen against the actual formation, crude, and brine conditions.
Application insight
Lowering interfacial tension can reduce capillary forces opposing hydrocarbon movement. Wettability response depends on reservoir conditions and should be evaluated with the actual crude, brine, and formation.
FSW-13High-Salinity Stimulation Surfactant
Delivers interface control where high salinity can compromise conventional surfactant performance. It helps improve wetting, lower interfacial tension, and mobilize hydrocarbons in demanding high-TDS reservoir fluids.
Product & application detail
FSW-13 is a high-salinity-tolerant stimulation surfactant designed for harsher reservoir-water conditions. It is part of Trinity’s reservoir-specific surfactant platform built around formation and water chemistry rather than a one-size-fits-all formulation.
Common target plays
Mississippi Lime • Montney • Eagle Ford (high salinity) • Bakken • Spraberry • Wolfcamp (high salinity)
Screen against the actual formation, crude, and brine conditions.
Application insight
Salinity, divalent ions, temperature, crude composition, and adsorption all affect performance. Laboratory interfacial-tension results alone do not establish field production gains.
HCM-21Hydrocarbon-Cleaning Microemulsion
Attacks paraffin and asphaltene deposits that restrict flow in wells, tubing, and process equipment. It softens, dissolves, and disperses heavy organic buildup so blocked hydrocarbon pathways can move again.
Product & application detail

ENVIRONMENTAL & SPILL RESPONSEOil release, dispersion & recovery
ODM-51Marine Oil Dispersant
Breaks surface oil into small droplets to improve dispersion into the water column and increase oil/water contact area. It is built for rapid spill response where controlled dispersion is the desired cleanup strategy.
Product & application detail
ODM-51 is a formulated marine dispersant combining surfactants, solvents, and a yeast-derived surfactant synergist. Its chemistry is designed to reduce oil/water interfacial tension and improve dispersant efficiency.
Application insight
Surfactants and solvents break an oil slick into smaller droplets, creating greater oil/water contact area. Dispersion intentionally moves oil into the water column; the treatment objective differs from surface washing for physical recovery.
SWM-61Marine Surface-Washing Agent
Releases weathered oil from hard surfaces so the oil can lift, float, and be physically recovered. It is built for shorelines, rocks, equipment, vessels, and other contaminated surfaces where recovery is preferred over dispersion.
Product & application detail
SWM-61 is a non-emulsifying surface-washing formulation based on solvent and biosurfactant chemistry. Its disclosed chemistry includes ethyl lactate, methyl soyate, and sophorolipid to penetrate contamination and break the oil-to-surface bond.
Application insight
A non-emulsifying lift-and-float approach: penetrate weathered hydrocarbons, release oil from the surface, contain it, and recover it mechanically. Applicable surfaces include rocks, shoreline materials, equipment, and vessels.
HRM-62Marine Oil-Herding Agent
Pulls thin surface oil together into a thicker, more manageable slick for recovery or other approved response methods. It helps make spread-out oil easier to contain and handle without intentionally dispersing it into the water column.
Product & application detail
HRM-62 is a specialty surface-active herding formulation for marine spill response. It works by changing surface forces around the slick so oil contracts into a smaller surface area.
For soil bioremediation applications, contact Trinity to discuss the contamination and treatment approach.
