Chemical
Breaks rock–oil bonds; removes mud and heavy deposits
MPC Method · Multistage Physico-Chemical
Patented near-wellbore stimulation that lifts output without fracturing
MPC combines controlled thermal, chemical and gas-generating effects inside the formation to restore permeability and improve well productivity.
Represented in Pakistan by Prestil Energy Pakistan MPC Technology logo
- Generates localized in-situ temperatures up to 500°C
- Melts paraffin and SARA deposits
- Removes formation damage and restores permeability
- Increases oil and gas production

How it works
Staged reactions clean, crack and heat the near-wellbore zone
Image needed: MPC pump-jack poster (well cross-section)
-
1
~250°C
In-well reaction
Chemicals A + B react at the perforations
-
2
H2
Gas drive
Hydrogen-led gas mix is drawn into the formation
-
3
up to 500°C
In-reservoir reaction
Hydrocracking and mild pyrolysis of heavy fractions
-
4
~300°C
Finishing stage
Chemical C completes the sweep; well activated
One treatment. Multiple mechanisms.
Mechanical
Creates micro-fractures; enlarges pores and channels
Thermal
Temporary heating near the wellbore, up to 500°C
Inside the formation
From blocked pores to restored flow
-
Image needed: blocked pores1
The problem
Pores and fractures plugged by deposits
-
Image needed: hydrogen reaching deposits2
Hydrogen reaches the deposits
In-situ reaction drives H-led gas into the rock
-
Image needed: deposits breaking down3
Deposits break down
Hydrogen and heat attack paraffin, asphaltene
-
Image needed: flow restored4
Flow restored
Channels cleared, permeability recovers
Image needed: inside the reaction (atomic hydrogen)

Inside the reaction
Atomic hydrogen forms in-situ, recombines to H2 and penetrates pores
Why it works
One treatment combines chemical, thermal and gas-driven effects in the near-wellbore zone, with no fracturing.
Field results
Different reservoirs, different operators, consistent results
Real field data. Independent operator validation. Measurable production gains.

Beyond oil, the treatment also lifted gas production and wellhead pressure:
- Gas production
- 0.20 → 0.35 MMSCFD
- +0.15 MMSCFD | +75%
- Wellhead pressure
- 150 → 350 psig
- +200 psig | +133%
No adverse impact on casing, tubing, packer integrity or reservoir integrity. PPL recommended broader deployment across additional wells.
