EDMONTON, Alta Aug 18, 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 the commercial Primawave project with a world leading, integrated oil and gas producer, first published on June 17, 2008 has commenced. The project, expected to be a multi-year, multi-system undertaking, entails the use of Primawave with waterflooding to accelerate the clean-up of a former oil refinery and terminal site.

Wavefront President and CEO Brett Davidson commented, “Primawave is an accredited remediation technology having been awarded certification by Environment and Industry Canada. With previous positive outcomes related to Primawave at other locations employing a similar remedial program, Wavefront foresees repeatable results at the 80-acre New York State site.
