BUSINESS
Founded 2021 (formerly Montana Emergent Technologies) in Butte, Montana. Commercializes biomineralization technology developed over 10 years with the US Department of Energy. Uses naturally occurring soil bacteria delivered in low-viscosity fluids to form crystalline calcium carbonate (limestone) barriers that permanently seal micro-leaks in oil and gas wells, eliminating sustained casing pressure and fugitive methane emissions. Three product lines: MicroSeal (sub-micron to 1mm gaps), MacroSeal (1–10mm gaps), and NanoSeal. Also developed Advanced Cement Imaging (ACI) diagnostic software.
