Thursday
after market close, Westcorp Energy (WSCE) made a
significant announcement in that Flowstar Technologies, a wholly
owned subsidiary, signed an agreement with a Canadian-based oil
and gas operator to deploy well head measurement and communication
equipment and associated web host services to an operating gas
field. Under the terms of the agreement, a minimum of 200 existing
wells will be outfitted with specialized communication panels and
appropriate Electronic Flow Meter (EFM) upgrades. All production
data from the 200 newly serviced wells and from an additional 100
operating wells, which were previously being serviced by Flowstar,
will be activated onto WSCE's proprietary SCADA system.

is their Water Remediation and Purification Technology,
wholly-owned through a subsidiary, Total Fluid Solutions Inc.
The Water Remediation And
Purification Technology based offerings by Wescorp can remove
hydrocarbon contamination content from water and soil and can
prove an effective tool in meeting environmental, regulatory and
safety issues facing the World’s Energy Industry today and in
the future. Conventional technology removes hydrocarbon
contamination content down to 0.5% to 3% (5,000 to 30,000) parts
per million - Wescorp removes hydrocarbon contamination content
down to 0.005% (50 parts per million).

Highlights
- Announced that Flowstar
Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary, has signed an
agreement with a Canadian-based oil and gas operator to deploy
well head measurement and communication equipment and
associated web host services to an operating gas field. Under
the terms of the agreement, a minimum of 200 existing wells
will be outfitted with specialized communication panels and
appropriate Electronic Flow Meter (EFM) upgrades.
- In March 2008, Ubika Research
rated Wescorp Energy Inc. a "Speculative Buy" with a
$0.90 12-month target price.
- The newly constructed Total
Fluids Solution water remediation unit, is capable of
remediating 2,000 barrels per day, and has been in full field
operations in Alberta, Canada since February 2008. Results to
date have been excellent. The Total Fluids Solution also
reduces oil remains in produced water and spent drilling
fluids to fewer than 0.005%, or 50 parts per million (PPM), a
fraction of what traditional water remediation technologies
accomplish. Using standard industry water remediation and
cleaning practices, approximately 0.5 to 3% (5,000 to 30,000
PPM) oil remains in the separated water.
- There are over 800 producing oil
companies in Western Canada alone, ranging from a one well
producer to producers with thousands of wells. There are in
excess of 17,000 batteries that are storage facilities for
contaminated formation water that requires remediation prior
to re-injection into the oil reservoir just in the province of
Alberta. These batteries range in storage capacity from 200 to
50,000 barrels of toxic water. Wescorp's technology can have a
significant economic and environmental impact on virtually all
oil producing fields.
- Wescorp Energy Inc. announced in
early March 2008, that they signed an agreement with a leading
developer of Canadian oil sands to deploy Wescorp's NAVIGATOR
Process Management Services to enhance scheduling and
logistical issues for its properties in Western Canada.
Wescorp's NAVIGATOR services will help streamline operations
for a project that is currently valued in excess of $1 billion
by independent assessments.
- Pressure from regulatory and
environmental compliance organizations has accelerated the
adoption and acceptance of new technology within the oil and
gas industry.
- Wescorp's existing customers
include leading oil and gas companies.
- Wescorp Energy is backed by a
strong and experienced management team and board of directors.
Mark Norris, former Minister of Economic Development for the
Alberta Provincial Government was recently announced as the
Chairman.
- The VISCOSITOR, jointly
developed in Norway by Wescorp and its partner Ellycrack AS,
is a prototype designed to upgrade heavy oil to light oil on
site, thus enhancing the value of the oil and reducing
transportation, processing and refining costs. Using the
Ellycrack process, heavy can oil can be upgraded to medium
crude oil and can fetch US$ 40 to US$ 50 more per barrel in
price. The company has secured a patent in the USA for the
process (USA patent #6660158). The process is also low
temperature and low pressure, and therefore low cost.
Profile
Oil & Gas is one of the fastest
growing sectors worldwide. As the developing economies such as
China and India experience rapid growth, the demand for oil and
gas skyrockets in tandem. Heavy demand for oil and gas in recent
years has coincided with dwindling supply sources. Years of
miserly investments into the oil and gas sector during the
eighties and early nineties, when oil and gas prices were very
low, has today come back to haunt the sector in poor
infrastructure, a paucity of new technologies and few if any
incentives for professionals.
Now with demand soaring for oil and
gas and easier sources of supplies drying up, production has
become increasingly complex. Oil and gas companies today are
operating under a very different set of conditions. A rush of new
investment has resulted in the mushrooming of new projects that
are putting tremendous pressure on resources. Increasingly,
companies are also facing regulatory and environmental issues, as
rapid growth in the oil and gas industry attracts environmental
concerns. All these factors combined are causing major operational
challenges for oil and gas companies.
Operating in this context, Wescorp
Energy is an oil and gas operations solutions company focused on
finding innovative technologies and solutions that can solve
practical operational problems faced by oil and gas companies. The
company achieves this by putting together innovative and effective
solutions for solving tough field challenges and by cutting
operations costs for oil and gas companies globally.
The company finds and acquires new patented and proprietary
technologies and focuses on commercializing those technologies
that cater to solving operational challenges facing oil and gas
operators worldwide. The company’s total fluid solutions focused
on water and soil remediation remains their main focus, however
other technologies in Wescorp’s portfolio are gas metering,
measurement and management solutions as well as heavy oil
upgrading technology solutions.
Enhanced recovery methods, which
include water flood in conventional oil reservoirs, steam assisted
gravity drainage, and cyclic steam stimulation in oil sands, all
require that massive amounts of fresh water be injected into
reservoirs. The result is that injected water produced with the
oil is contaminated and must undergo remediation.
The goal of most producers is to remove waste water from the site
and process it to make it potable and usable for agriculture
irrigation. Existing water remediation and cleansing technologies
include initial treaters — holding tanks that let gravity do the
work of separating out contaminants, followed by electrostatic
systems and the use of chemicals or heat — all of which use a
lot of energy. These methods also leave approximately 0.5% to 3%
of residual oil in the separated water. That water must be
disposed of, an objective that is frequently accomplished by
injecting the water back into the reservoir or leaving it on the
surface in toxic tailing ponds.
Wescorp Energy provides a solution that will reduce the amount of
oil in the residual water waste to 0.005%. This safe and effective
process for remediating oil and gas field contaminants at the well
site is suitable for conventional oil production, enhanced oil
recovery, steam-assisted gravity drainage, and cyclic steam
stimulation.
- Heavy investment in the oil and
gas industry.
- Escalating operational and
production costs.
- Severe shortage of experienced
personnel & other resources.
- Growth in unconventional Oil
& Gas sector.
- Escalating environmental demands
