WEE Settles Lawsuit With Applied Seismic Research
EDMONTON, Alta June 26, 2008/ Wavefront Energy and Environmental Services
Inc. (“Wavefront”), a world leader in fluid injection technology for
improved/enhanced oil recovery and groundwater restoration announces that it
has settled its lawsuit against Applied Seismic Research (“ASR”) of Plano,
TX first announced October 17, 2007.
Under the terms of the settlement agreement:
-
Wavefront will dismiss the
pending lawsuit with prejudice, and agrees that it may not reassert and
releases the claims that were dismissed without prejudice in the first
lawsuit (see October 17, 2006 news release).
-
Each party will bear its own
costs and attorneys’ fees.
- ASR’s tools are not intended to increase or enhance injection rates. ASR represents and warrants that its tools have not been used in any well to inject fluid into a geological formation, and agrees that its tools will not be used in any well to inject fluid into a geological formation. Wavefront acknowledges that when ASR’s tools are installed in an injection well, it may cause an incidental leakage of fluid of about a barrel per day, which fluid must be replaced.
Wavefront President and CEO Brett Davidson stated, “It is important to distinguish the vast difference between reservoir stimulation techniques. In an attempt to induce oil flow, ASR generates a shockwave in wells having no fluid connectivity to the oil producing reservoir. Conversely, Wavefront’s Powerwave systems are deployed in water, CO2, or other injection wells having full fluid connectivity to the reservoir. Powerwave generates an intermittent fluid pressure pulse that provides more uniform injection of fluids resulting in extended field life, greater ultimate oil recovery, and increased asset value. The concession from ASR that they will not use their technology to inject fluid is a considerable gain for Wavefront as it clarifies any ambiguity concerning the product offering of ASR and that of Wavefront’s one-of-a-kind injection approach.”
Mr. Davidson further commented, “We continue to see
impressive production results related to Powerwave and are gaining
significant attention in the marketplace for improved waterfloods, CO2
floods, etc. As the only company offering this form of injection worldwide,
Wavefront is in a unique and amiable position to capitalize on Powerwave and
the successes seen in the field.” Cautionary Disclaimer –
