Hallux Energy’s Drilling Mud Cleanup System uses patented enzyme technology to degrade and remove polymeric damage from drill-in fluids — including xanthan, starch, and cellulose. Independent laboratory testing shows regained permeabilities in excess of 90%, compared to less than 40% for conventional acid treatments.

Our enzymes are catalysts — not consumed in the reaction like acids — continuing to degrade polymers until virtually eliminated. Customizable per well based on polymer type, ratios, temperature, and formation sensitivity.

Hallux’s patented Mannanase HT enzyme breaker achieves 90–100% proppant pack cleanup — compared to 30–40% for conventional oxidizer breakers. Independent fracture modeling studies across 4 major basins demonstrate 20–65% production uplifts when Mannanase HT is incorporated into completion designs.

Our enzyme breakers integrate into slickwater, linear gel, and crosslinked gel fluid systems — with the added benefit of reducing clean water requirements by up to 46%.

Maximize the return on your well investment. Hallux’s enzyme technology addresses the three critical factors that determine long-term production: created fracture geometry, effective proppant distribution, and retained fracture conductivity.

By achieving near-complete fluid cleanup, our products preserve the fracture conductivity you designed for — translating directly to higher EUR and faster payout. Independent studies show $1–6+ million per year in additional revenue per well.
