FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 7, 2007
Wavefront Enters Into Irrevocable Licensing Agreement For A Secondary Oil
Recovery Method
EDMONTON, Alta Mar 07,
2007/ Wavefront Energy and Environmental Services Inc.
(“Wavefront”), a leader in technology development and implementation
for improved oil recovery and optimized groundwater remediation is
pleased to announce that it has reached a licensing agreement with
Gas and Oil Enhancement Tools, LLC a Phoenix, Arizona company (“GOET”)
for a secondary oil recovery method based on seismic wave
stimulation.
The fully paid-up, irrevocable license granted by GEOT for a total
consideration of US $100,000 was secured against the deposit
previously issued to the patent holder for the contemplated share
purchase agreement announced June 26, 2007 where Wavefront proposed
to purchase 50% of the outstanding membership units in Oil
Enhancement Tools, LLC (“OET”) an oil service company operating in
Cody, Wyoming. The change in approach in obtaining irrevocable
rights to the technology stemmed from Wavefront’s due diligence
related to the proposed purchase, the dissolution of OET, and the
patent holders desire to continue a relationship with Wavefront.
The patented process licensed by Wavefront is a stimulation method
and tool for improving the production of unswept and immovable oil
from fields. The closed wellbore technology generates a “shock” or
seismic wave to induce the flow of oil. The approach is best applied
in fields with high water cuts and large amounts of stranded oil and
has been successfully demonstrated to positively change oil and gas
production in fields in the United States as well as Mexico. The
seismic technology differs from the Powerwave™
Process given the goal is to generate a waveform in a wellbore
having no fluid connectivity to the oil reservoir. In contrast, the
goal of the Powerwave™
Process is to purposely move liquids, improve injection rates, as
well as the distribution of injected liquids in an oil reservoir.
Downhole tools related to the Powerwave™
Process are deployed in injection wells having full fluid
connectivity to the reservoir through perforations, screens, liners,
or open-hole completions.
Wavefront President and CEO Brett Davidson stated, “One of
Wavefront’s goals is to be the foremost provider of wave-based
technologies to enhance and improve oil recovery. The license
agreement is a very positive outcome for Wavefront as it provides
irrevocable access to a demonstrated technology at less than half of
the original contemplated purchase price of the OET membership
units. Management believes that the licensed seismic stimulation
approach can, in certain reservoir types, be successfully integrated
into Wavefront’s Powerwave™
Process.”
Mr. Davidson further commented, “It’s a fact of our culture: Whether
it is plastics, clothing, or even toothpaste, we rely on petroleum
products to get us through our everyday lives. We need to do what we
can to produce that oil efficiently. With the addition of this
license, the recent acquisition of Top Gun, the proposed acquisition
of ICI Solutions (www.ici.ca), and the Powerwave™
Process, Wavefront has a suite of proven approaches that when it
comes to producing oil, we can get to it where others can’t.”
Wavefront also wishes to announce that it will file, in accordance
with TSX Venture Exchange policy, a Summary Form disclosing the
granting of an aggregate of 205,000 incentive stock options pursuant
to the Wavefront's Stock Option Plan. Of the stock options being
issued 90,000 are to four independent directors with the balance
being issued to employees. The options will be exercisable at a
price of $0.97 per share, for a period of five years. In accordance
with Wavefront's Stock Option Plan and Exchange policy, the
incentive stock options are subject to a hold period of 4 months and
vesting period of 18 months.
