Led by CEO Stuart Page, Glori Energy has the mission to sustainably and efficiently recover barrels of oil trapped in reservoirs using existing oil wells. The company partners with oil producers to significantly increase their oil production through the deployment of its AERO(TM) System, which makes use of existing non-potable water sources, optimizing the water quality to activate and sustain the indigenous reservoir microbial life with the desired metabolic activities.
