American energy production has a math problem:
And nearly 10% of U.S. oilfield deaths each year are linked to exposure to toxic chemicals still used in daily operations
It’s one of the biggest “old-tech” sectors left untouched by modern science.
MaverickX creates next-gen chemistry that actually removes iron, breaks scale and paraffin, liberates metals and more oil from shale. They reduce operating costs and keep production flowing.
With PetroX, operators are seeing:
Their chemistry increases shale porosity by up to 40x, allowing oil to move freely where it previously couldn’t. They aren’t just swapping chemicals — they are rewriting the physics of the reservoir.
Oil is the backbone of their modern economy and demand is only projected to increase.
MaverickX started in mining, building better chemistries to extract metals.
Then the Department of Energy contracted them for a wild project:
“Turn old oil wells into mines. Extract the metals trapped inside.” They did it.
And in that process, they discovered something bigger: Their chemistry didn’t just free metals, it freed hydrocarbons — a lot of them. The moment they saw that, they knew they had to expand into oil & gas. Today they operate in South Texas with production-scale manufacturing and contracts for PetroX™ across multiple operators.
If you operate or know operators of wells, SWDs, or production facilities and want:
They want to run a pilot with you.
