TSX-V: WEE |
EDMONTON, Alta February 2, 2006/ 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 entered into a Definitive Agreement to develop
Greentree’s Rodney South, Ontario oil field lease using Wavefront’s DeepWaveSM
(http://onthewavefront.com/dw_what-is-deep-wave.htm)
Technology.
Under the terms of the Definitive Agreement Wavefront will provide up to $C 2.25
million for capital expenditures related to initial field development. Greentree
will act as the Operator of the lease and will contribute the petroleum leases,
existing seismic and geological data, field staff, and the use of its production
facilities. Current development plans are tentatively scheduled to commence as
soon as permits are in place. The approach to exploitation of Rodney South is
similar to that of Rogers County, OK using horizontal producers straddled by
vertical DeepWaveSM
water injectors. 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.
In consideration of Wavefront’s capital investment it shall earn a 70% net
overriding royalty interest in the production from all new wells as well as from
nine wells currently operated by Greentree until payout of Wavefront’s initial
$C 2.25 million capital investment. Subsequent to payout, cash flow from
operations will be allotted 50% to each of Wavefront and Greentree.
Brett Davidson, President and CEO of Wavefront commented, “The agreement with
Greentree represents further opportunity for the Company to demonstrate the
strength of its technology on what would be considered a marginal field.
Wavefront is pleased to be working with a credible, and forward looking operator
such as Greentree who are breaking new ground in Canada by implementing DeepWaveSM
on a large scale. With each new agreement we are securing our vision of making
DeepWaveSM
the injection technology of choice in the energy, environmental, and mining
sectors. We continue to pursue opportunities to showcase DeepWaveSM
and build shareholder value.”
Duncan Hamilton, President of Greentree stated, “We are anxious to commence
development of the Rodney South pool utilizing Wavefront’s DeepWaveSM
technology. The Rodney South pool is directly adjacent to the second largest oil
pool in Ontario, which has produced over 10.5 million barrels of light oil from
the same geological formation using 1960’s water injection technology and
vertical producers. Greentree is confident that with the benefit of horizontal
producers and DeepWaveSM
in Rodney South, a higher percentage of the oil in place will be recoverable at
a much-accelerated rate of production”.
