Welcome to VortexFlow

VortexTools, LLC (Vortex) is a process technology company focused on the efficient transportation of oil and gas.

Utilizing the patented Ecotech technology, Vortex has developed a series of surface and downhole tools to help extend the lifeline of oil and gas wells. By keeping the flowlines, gathering systems and pipelines from freezing, free from paraffin buildup and free of accumulated liquids, the surface tools offer the user operational maintenance efficiencies. Downhole, the tools permit the well to flow beyond the critical rate and as a consequence, Vortex tools are able to keep oil and gas wells moving towards profitability. In addition to reducing operating costs, Vortex tools improve maintenance effects such as soaping to enhance productivity and to reduce lost production time. Vortex tools are the result of over a decade and millions of dollars in research, development and testing.

Based in Englewood, CO, Vortex provides a proven technology offering a value-added solution to oil and gas customers in domestic U.S. and international markets alike.
