Locus Bio-Energy, based in Solon, Ohio, develops green biosurfactant treatments for the oil and gas sector. It uses a proprietary production platform to manufacture biosurfactants at scales and price points suitable for field use. The formulations are fully biodegradable and derived from renewable resources, designed to replace conventional synthetic surfactants in applications such as well maintenance, flow assurance, and enhanced oil recovery. Operators report performance and economic benefits, including doubled initial production, sustained gains around 45% or more, and payback periods of under four months, along with lower operating costs and fewer paraffin-related issues. The company notes that its green biosurfactant treatments are approved for tertiary enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technology and qualify users for a 10-year, 50% severance tax credit. In 2023, Locus Bio-Energy expanded its portfolio with AcidBoost, a biosurfactant-based product line for wellbore remediation.
