For Immediate Release |
TSX-V: WEE |
To Co-Develop First Canadian Oil Asset
With Greentree Gas And Oil Ltd.
EDMONTON, Alta November 8, 2005/ Wavefront Energy and Environmental Services Inc., a provider of innovative technologies for increased oil production and groundwater remediation and Greentree Gas and Oil Ltd. (TSX-V: GGO) an exploration and production company in southwestern Ontario, are pleased to announce that they have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to develop Greentree’s Rodney South, Ontario oil field lease using Wavefront’s DeepWaveSM (http://onthewavefront.com/dw_what-is-deep-wave.htm) Technology.
Greentree currently has 100% working interest in 95 (94.5 net) natural gas wells in Norfolk County, Ontario and maintains approximately 100 miles of pipeline and over 45,000 acres of oil and gas leases. In addition, Greentree has 100% working interest in 800 acres of leased lands, which comprise the mapped extent of the Rodney South oil property.
The Rodney South oil field lease has an estimated 3.65 MMStb of oil in place and can be expected to recover 1.33 MMStb if fully developed by standard waterflooding. It is anticipated that with the implementation of DeepWaveSM during flooding, in excess of 2 MMStb of oil may be producible.
The companies have 120 days to enter into a Definitive Agreement, which will detail development plans, budgets, and responsibilities of each party. Under the terms of a Definitive Agreement Wavefront will provide up to $C 2.25 million for initial capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Additional development costs are expected to be derived from cash from operations. Greentree will act as the Operator of the lease and will contribute the petroleum leases, existing seismic and geological data, and the use of its existing field facilities. Greentree will also provide its field maintenance staff, administrative, and office support staff. In consideration for each party’s contributions, cash flow from operating activities will be allocated 70% and 30% to Wavefront and Greentree, respectively, until payout of Wavefront’s initial $C 2.25 million capital investment. Subsequent to payout, cash flow from operating activities will be allotted 50% to each of Wavefront and Greentree respectively.
Brett Davidson, President and CEO of Wavefront commented, “This is an exciting opportunity for the Company to widely deploy DeepWaveSM in a historic region where in 1858 the first oil well in North America was dug fully one year before the Drake well in Pennsylvania. Entering an oil pool in early stage exploitation using DeepWaveSM should result in significant recovery. The Company is pleased to be co-developing a field with a progressive Canadian junior producer who is looking to a proven technological edge to maximize oil recovery and build value for its shareholders. We look forward to successfully working with Greentree’s President, Duncan Hamilton and his team.”
Duncan Hamilton, President
of Greentree stated, “This is an excellent prospect for a junior such as
ourselves to utilize ‘Cutting Edge’ technology. The results that Wavefront have
generated to date are unquestionably positive and we are pleased that they wish
to co-develop the South Rodney field with us. Our joint preliminary modeling
has indicated that DeepWaveSM will potentially recover substantially
greater reserves over a much accelerated time frame which will in turn
significantly increase the value of the property”.
