EDMONTON, June 27 /CNW/ - Wavefront Energy and Environmental Services Inc. ("Wavefront"), a world leader in fluid injection technology for improved/enhanced oil recovery and groundwater restoration is pleased to report early Powerwave results from installations on-going sinceApril 2008 with a Fort Worth , Texas oil producer. Oil production from the eight wells influenced by two Powerwave systems in one location has increased by 21 bopd or 26%. Definitive well test production data at the second North Central Texas Powerwave location has not been completed however overall unit production figures indicate an upward trend. Additional upside potential at both locations may be realized with time as Powerwave influences a greater volume of the reservoirs.
Wavefront President and CEO Brett Davidson stated, "The early performance of the Texas Powerwave waterflood exceeds that of the Alberta Powerwave project for the similar time period where an 18% production increase was measured. Given results in Alberta where production has now doubled in the injection patterns influenced by Powerwave we expect additional production increases in North Central Texas."
Mr. Davidson further commented, "Since its inception, Wavefront has maintained that Powerwave could increase reservoir recovery factor (ultimate recovery) by 25% to 50%. The production increases seen in Texas and Alberta related to Powerwave supports those assertions. With approximately 60% of oil being stranded in reservoirs and over 200,000 wells used to inject fluids for oil recovery inNorth America, Wavefront sees significant growth opportunity for Powerwave."
