NEW INSTALLATION METHOD FOR
INSTALLING DRIP IRRIGATION
A more affordable way to install subsurface drip irrigation systems

Lake Elmo, Minnesota USA – The TRENCH’N edge Trencher has developed a new method of installing Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI) and Waste Water Recycling (WWR) systems that decrease both installation cost and clean-up labor.

“As demand for water increases throughout the world, the TRENCH’N edge installation method will make it easier than ever before to install water-saving and water-recycling systems,” said Patrick Dean, President of the TRENCH’N edge Trencher. “We developed a method of discharging the trenched material directly into the previously dug trench. That dramatically reduces the handling of trench spoils, thus decreasing installation labor cost. This makes SDI system installation cost competitive with conventional spray-in-the-air irrigation methods.”

Decades of research demonstrates that SDI saves 40% to 60% of household and agricultural water. Moisture is channeled right at the plants’ root zone, without spraying the water into the air, where it can evaporate before it hits the ground. SDI also eliminates overspray onto sidewalks, streets and driveways, which has now been restricted by California and Texas. In fact, parts of Australia have exempted some SDI systems from watering bans, since they are substantially more efficient.

The TRENCH’N edge Trencher’s new SDI and WWR installation methods are designed to make it easier for irrigation contractors and do-it-yourselfers to install SDI and WWR systems. These methods not only save labor costs, but make it easy to “Go Green” for the same installation cost as conventional systems. This new development, the innovative “blade-in-a-blade” system, provides the best in SDI and WWR installation while also retaining the diverse functionality of TRENCH’N edge Trenchers.

All of our trenchers feature the “blade-in-a-blade” technology option, which allows for the installation of both conventional irrigation and SDI/WWR systems, all in one unit. This blade also allows for the installation of low voltage lighting, cable TV, dog fencing and silt fence.

NEW GLOBAL PUBLIC OPINION SURVEY FINDS WATER ISSUES ARE THE TOP ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN WORLDWIDE

Water pollution and shortage of fresh water emerge as most important water-related issues

STOCKHOLM – A comprehensive global public opinion survey on attitudes about fresh water sustainability, management and conservation finds that people around the world view water issues as the planet’s top environmental problem, greater than air pollution, depletion of natural resources, and loss of habitat and climate change.

The poll surveyed 1,000 people in each of 15 countries, and probed 500 in each of the following countries on specific questions: Canada, China, India, Mexico, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. The results were released today in Stockholm as part of World Water Week. The independent survey was commissioned by Circle of Blue, the Michigan-based international network of leading journalists, scientists and communicators focused on global water issues. Molson Coors Brewing Company (NYSE: TAP) supported the research, which was conducted by GlobeScan, a global survey research firm.

According to Dave LeMoine, Vice President of Business Development, of Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTCBB: WSCE),

“The oil and gas industry knows of the term “Peak oil” as production increases, the new term may be “Peak water” let me explain more, it is well known that as fresh water becomes more scarce with global population growth, increasing standards of living in developing countries, and rapid industrialization, and global oil and gas producing companies licensing and consuming a higher degree of fresh water, the reuse of “produced water” is becoming more attractive to the oil and gas industry. Wescorp’s oil water separations technologies H20 Maxx can be the complement to helping producers reuse recycle their produced water. Our technology provides the producers with hydrocarbon free water, this water can play a significant role in providing this renewable resource to increase oil production through injection, or further treatment for other purposes, for example direct discharge in off shore production, recycling frac fluids.”

POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC –August 11, 2009 www.Water-Stocks.com, an investor and industry portal for the water sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close-up on water stocks by Lisa Springer CFA, Equity research analyst, on the market opportunity for remediating oil- contaminated water.

Market Opportunity Remediating Oil-Contaminated Water

Lisa Springer CFA, Equity research analyst and financial writer

Stocks Covered:

Cameron Intl Corp (NYSE:CAM), General Electric (NYSE:GE), Nalco (NYSE:NLC), National Oilwell Varco (NYSE:NOV), Veolia (NYSE:VE), Wescorp Energy (OTCBB: WSCE), Weatherford International (NYSE:WFT)

Although oil spills capture headlines, a greater environmental challenge for the oil and gas industry is remediating water polluted in their production operations. Water that comes up with the production of oil and gas is called “produced water.’”  Produced water is tainted with hydrocarbon solids, sand, drill cuttings and salts. Oil companies spend an estimated $50 billion every year remediating and/or disposing of produced water to comply with local, state, provincial and federal environmental laws.

The volume of produced water worldwide is estimated at tens of billions of barrels each year. On average, every barrel of oil produced results in three barrels of produced water. That equates to managing or disposing of more than 250 million barrels of produced water each and every day. The hydrocarbons trapped in produced water are, not only an environmental hazard, but also a source of lost revenues. Data indicates that, on average, nine tons of oil is released via produced water for every million tons of hydrocarbons produced.

Disposal costs for produced water add to already high energy bills. These costs typically include trucking, pre-treatment, injection and desalination, and can run as high as $15 per barrel. Disposing of the hydrocarbon solids that remain after the water is treated is even costlier, estimated at nearly $72 per barrel.

Remediation costs for produced water are likely to continue to rise because regulators are pressing for more stringent environmental laws. Penalties for non-compliance are severe; for example, Suncor was recently fined $850,000 for an environmental violation. Costs are also increasing because oil companies are producing more oil to meet the world’s insatiable appetite for energy. Producers are stimulating production from older wells through re-fracturing, a process requiring massive amounts of fresh water, and tapping unconventional oil field plays such as the Alberta Oil Sands and the Barnett Shale. Canadian producers are already consuming over 540 million barrels of fresh water in Alberta Oil Sands operations, resulting in paying water clean up and disposal costs exceeding $100 million annually. Despite the fact that globally fresh water is becoming a scarce commodity, more water is being used, leading to demands that producers reduce water consumption. The problem is that today’s unconventional oil productions require more water than ever – as many as 20 barrels of water for every barrel of oil produced.

The management of produced water is a large market and several companies are marketing technologies for cleaning produced water. The Petreco Wemco division of Cameron (NYSE:CAM) markets a heat treatment technology that separates hydrocarbons from water. National Oilwell Varco (NYSE:NOV) manufactures and sells equipment that mechanically removes suspended solids from produced water. Nalco (NYSE:NLC) offers an aeration technology called Induced Gas Flotation that removes suspended particles from water. Privately-held Welco Expediting and Process Group market centrifuging technologies for cleaning produced water. The GE Zeon segment of General Electric (NYSE:GE), Siemens Water Technology and Veolia (NYSE:VE) offer treatment methods based on filtering membranes. Although all of the above-mentioned methods remove some of the pollutants, most  single technologies leave behind residential oil content ranging from 500 to 50,000 parts per million in the water. Having residual hydrocarbon in their produced water has a major impact on producers’ operating expenses.    

Wescorp Energy (OTCBB:WSCE) recently began marketing a novel remediation technology called H20Maxx, which the company claims offers a safer, more effective and economical process for cleaning and separating oil and solids from produced water. H20Maxx employs a patented aeration technology that creates microscopic nitrogen bubbles several orders of magnitude smaller than conventional methods. These bubbles attach to oil droplets and break the oil/water interface, allowing oil to be separated. Third party laboratory tests have shown that H20Maxx reduces oil content in produced water to less than 10 parts per million. Because H20Maxx-treated water is more hydro carbon-free, it dramatically reduces both operating costs and water consumption and also provides the producer with a resalable oil stream. For producers operating in areas where water is in short supply such as the Barnett Shale and Alberta Oil Sands, the ability to re-cycle water is a major advantage.

Oil and gas producers recognize the benefits of H20Maxx and have begun using Wescorp’s technology. Last December, Wescorp received  3^rd party verification of the H20Maxx’s  efficiency and scalability, which led to the signing of a letter of intent with Weatherford International (NYSE:WFT).Weatherford is one of the world’s largest  energy  services providers, with operations in more than 100 countries and annual revenues of nearly $10 billion.

In 2009, Wescorp has made significant progress deploying its technology. The company shipped its first H20Maxx unit to an oil/gas operator in Kansas in May. The unit began operating in July, providing remediation services for one conventional oil well, and is performing well. The oil company in Kansas has now ordered a second unit. H20Maxx units are leased on a day lease rate with a 2,000 barrels/day unit leasing for approximately $1,500/day. In June, Wescorp announced the leasing of an H20Maxx unit to Western Canadian Oil Sands, which plans to deploy the unit at its Athabasca Oil Sands operations in Northern Alberta. In late July, Wescorp announced a 50/50 joint venture with Cancen Oil Canada Corporation to initially install a combined 12 H20Maxx water units and HXCT solids units over the next 12 months at Cancen’s facilities. The joint venture will then build additional units to provide onsite remediation to oil and gas producers in western Canada. Cancen will fund, operate and manage the joint venture, as well as fund construction and deployment costs of the units.

Wescorp and Cancen are completing an assessment of Cancen’s facilities, and by August 23 Cancen will post a $1,000,000 irrevocable line of credit for the immediate construction of three units to be deployed at Cancen’s facilities.

Under the terms of the agreement, Wescorp will be responsible for providing the intellectual property and technical support. Cancen will be responsible for operating and managing the joint venture and funding the operations, including the construction and deployment costs of all H2O Maxx and HCXT remediation units.

The joint venture will share in the revenue generated by the use of Wescorp’s H2O Maxx and HCXT units at Cancen’s facilities. Revenue from each unit will be shared between Wescorp and Cancen. Upon initial operation of the remediation units, the revenue will be split 25:75 (Wescorp: Cancen) until 110% of the construction costs are repaid to Cancen. Thereafter, the revenue will be shared on a 50:50 basis.

Cancen operates a number of waste processing facilities in western Canada. Its mission is to provide safe and effective disposal of hydrocarbon waste material through specialized processes in an effort to prevent oil from entering neighboring ecosystems. Cancen creates value through on-site disposal of produced water, hydrocarbon recovery, general cleanup and disposal of slop oil, tank bottoms and crude treatment. Through a three-staged process, Cancen custom treats, then blends, the crude into high quality saleable oil.

“This is a very significant signing for Wescorp. The partnership with Cancen will allow Wescorp to immediately participate in a multi-billion dollar oilfield waste management and processing industry in western Canada,” commented Doug Biles, President and CEO of Wescorp Energy. “Wescorp anticipates the joint venture revenue model will result in a significantly higher revenue stream than that of a daily lease model.”

“Cancen is delighted to be the joint venture partner of Wescorp Energy,” stated Keith Talbot, President of Cancen Oil Canada Corporation. “Wescorp’s leading edge water and solids remediation technologies are a perfect fit into our business model and will allow Cancen to become a technological leader in the oilfield waste processing industry in western Canada. With the addition of Wescorp’s technologies, we expect our business to grow exponentially.”

H2Omaxx is a commercially proven, safe, effective and economical process for cleaning and separating oil and solids from produced water using patented technology. Test results on the H2Omaxx unit have been shown to reduce the oil content in produced water to less than 0.001% or 10 parts per million oil allowing oil and gas operators to reduce, reuse, and recycle water.

The HCXT solids remediation unit is a commercially proven, safe, effective and economical process for the extraction and cleaning of hydrocarbon-laden sediments and solids. The technology uses biodegradable chemicals to separate heavy oil from solids including drilling cuttings and fine sands and clays from oil sand production.

Bord na Mona Environmental has over twenty years experience in developing and implementing environmental solutions for the treatment of air and water emissions. The company’s shell based technology, NASHELL®, represents a radical and innovative breakthrough in the treatment of odor and VOC emissions. The technology has been employed on over five hundred installations around the world. This highly effective, low cost technology radically broadened the field of applications for biotechnologies due to its capacity to treat high concentrations of difficult compounds. This effectively paves the way for biotechnologies to compete against chemical scrubbers and thermal systems with a low cost sustainable robust alternative with minimum energy and zero chemical inputs.

Biological Treatment Technologies.

A number of key parameters need to be identified and characterised prior to discussing in detail the development and relative merits of biological and enhanced biological treatment technologies. A clear understanding of the inter-relationship between containment structures, ventilation rates, appropriate equipment selection, achievement of the necessary efficiencies and most importantly, capital and operational cost is required. Furthermore, to develop successful control strategies an understanding of odor measurement and chemical characterisation of the chemical constituents specifically responsible for affecting odor (the perception of odor is essentially a reaction by the human olfactometric system to specific chemical compounds) is required.

An understanding of dispersion modelling to assess the impact to boundary and the nearest sensitive receptor is also useful. These fore mentioned variables are essential for establishing inlet conditions and performance parameters prior to selection of an odor abatement process.

One further point which warrants reinforcement is that the removal of the dominant odorous component from the air stream does not guarantee significant odor removal as other compounds which were previously being masked will now contribute to an overall odor. The requirement for an effective odor removal plant is good removal performance for the full range of compounds, which have low odor threshold values (i.e. those whose odor may be detected at very low concentrations).

Wastewater Applications.

In the main, when dealing with municipal wastewater treatment plants, most odors arise where anaerobic conditions (no oxygen) are prevalent allowing sulphur reducing bacteria to flourish. The result is the formation of dissolved sulphides/hydrogen sulphide in the wastewater which will be released to atmosphere where conditions are favourable (typically high liquid/air interface and liquid turbulence). The problem is exacerbated during periods of warm weather, as biological activity increases with temperature (leading to an increased rate of production of odorous compounds).

Reducing septically will significantly reduce odors and it is a valid strategy for effective odor control. However, it will not necessarily provide the degree of performance and reliability required. Where the potential for significant odor emissions exists, such factors as containment, ventilation and treatment need also to be considered. Before discussing biological treatment options in detail it is critical to understand the relationship between (minimising volume and air tight) containment, which will lead to a reduction in the ventilation requirement (leading to reduced air flow duct work and efficient fan power requirements and size of odor control equipment) and the converse effect on concentration (i.e. increased concentration) of contaminants and hence the challenge to the odor control equipment.

Point Roberts, WA, Delta, BC  - April 23, 2009 – www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leading global investor and industry research portal covering water, environment and oil and gas sectors, presents a water stocks sector close-up on produced water in the oil and gas industry, problems and solutions. Publicly traded companies providing solutions include Nature Group (LSE: NGR-GB.L), Siemens (NYSE: SI) Water Technologies and Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTCBB: WSCE ). 

According to the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), part of DOE’s national laboratory system, approximately 15-20 billion bbl (barrels; 1 bbl = 42 U.S. gallons) of produced water are generated each year in the United States from nearly a million wells, and more than 50 billion bbl of produced water are generated each year at thousands of wells in other countries.

As water and environmental issues now play a major role in the future of the oil and gas industry, here is how three public companies are coming up with solutions.

Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTCBB:WSCE) an oil and gas solutions provider of water remediation and environmental technologies , announced in December 08, that Weatherford International Ltd., (NYSE: WFT) had executed a letter of intent for the testing of Wescorp’s wholly-owned water remediation technology, H2Omaxx, in two projects in South America. H2Omaxx is a water remediation unit that consistently provides safe, effective and economical separation of oil from produced water.

When asked if Wescorp Energy (OTCBB: WSCE ) technology works for all produced water applications, on shore and off shore, Dave LeMoine, Vice President of Business Development commented, “In general the answer would be yes, Wescorp’s technology has been independently proven to  have  a high level of  scalability and effectiveness, allowing it to be used on a single well to multi well applications  or projects such as Offshore Platforms or in  conventional or unconventional oil development such as the Oilsands in Alberta. Wescorp gives the oil companies three streams, Clean water Clean solids and Ultrafines and resalable oil

The client problem could be environmental, cost related, regulatory compliancy, revenue generated, process improvement based, or a host of other issues. “

According  to NATURE GROUP’s (LSE:NGR-GB.L), CEO, Richard Eldridge, “ There is now wide agreement within the petroleum industry, governments and scientists that focus should now be put on dissolved organic components, heavy metals and production chemicals. The oil in water content shall be as low as possible and the industry shall make use of best available technology (BAT).”

The Nature process for treatment of produced water is based on addition of patented

coagulant/flocculant in existing or partially modified water systems. The agent is injected

into the produced water upstream a static mixer or various process equipment (pumps,

valves etc.) to provide sufficient in- mixing. The agent separates dispersed and dissolved

hydrocarbons and is floated and skimmed off in a flotation vessel downstream the in-mixing

point.

SIEMENS A G ADR (NYSE: SI) Siemens Water Technologies was recently selected by Petro-Canada to provide a system for treating coal-bed-methane (CBM) produced water at the Mitchell Draw CBM Project near Gillette, Wyoming, USA.  The system will treat 72,000 barrels per day (3 MGD) of CBM produced water, removing contaminants like sodium (Na) and total dissolved solids (TDS), which will allow the plant to meet current state regulatory requirements.

Siemens states it has 750 onshore and offshore produced water treatment systems, treating about 6 million barrels of water per day.

According to Eddy Isaacs, managing director of the Alberta Energy Research Institute, “Companies now have to worry about the environment as much as they need to worry about their production.”  *1

So What is Produced Water? 

The US Department of the Interior defines Produced water as “mainly salty water trapped in the reservoir rock and brought up along with oil or gas during production. It can contain very minor amounts of chemicals added downhole during production. These waters exist under high pressures and temperatures, and usually contain oil and metals. Because of this, they must be treated prior to being discharged overboard. As with drilling muds, following treatment, they must be tested for toxicity and cannot exceed set discharge rates.”

Most produced waters contain combinations or mixture of: Dissolved inorganic salts, dispersed oil droplets, dissolved organic compounds (dissolved “oil”),treatment and workover chemicals dissolved gases (particularly hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide),bacteria and other living organisms, and dispersed solid particles.

The Produced Water Society reports, “The ability to efficiently and economically dispose of this water is critical to the success in the oil production business. “

Democracy Now reported on the protests and security surrounding the event.

Oil and gas production worldwide generates a tremendous amount unwanted waste water - water that has been contaminated with hydrocarbons, sand, drill cuttings, organic and inorganic salts. The produced water is contaminated naturally from the formation and artificially through oil and gas processing. The handling, treatment and disposal of the produced water are some of the most controversial and environmentally challenging issues oil and gas producers face today. Produced water from hydrocarbon operations creates massive volumes of waste that requires remediation.

Headlines in a March 2009 article in Oilweek.com, “Water—its use, reuse and conservation—has become almost as important to Alberta’s economic future as oil”, forecast the importance of finding solutions within the industry.

Wescorp Energy Inc. is an oil and gas solutions provider that specializes in water remediation and environmental technologies for the global oil and gas industry. One of the company’s primary technologies, H2Omaxx, is a commercially scalable water remediation unit that uses patented aeration technology to consistently provide safe, effective and economical separation of oil from produced water. Final independent verification testing was completed in November 2008. Analytical results proved the H20maxx unit increased the recovery of oil and reduced the amount of hydrocarbons in the treated produced water to less than 0.001% or 10 parts per million.

According to the company, “Virtually anywhere in the world that oil is produced, contaminated produced water becomes an unwanted byproduct. Water becomes contaminated naturally through associated formation water in conventional oil and gas production. Unconventional oil production including Oil Sands development in Alberta, Canada contaminates huge amounts of fresh potable water during the production and processing of the oil.”

According to Industry Canada, “Strict Canadian environmental regulations have demanded that Canadian engineers and scientists develop innovative remedial technologies to clean-up a broad spectrum of contaminants, such as petroleum hydrocarbons.”

Wescorp’s H20maxx technology is not going unnoticed. In December 2008, Wescorp announced that Weatherford International Ltd., (NYSE: WFT) executed a letter of intent for the testing of Wescorp’s wholly-owned water remediation technology, H2Omaxx, in two projects in South America. Wescorp and Weatherford are currently in negotiations for a possible exclusive long-term global cooperative agreement. H2Omaxx units provide oil and gas operators an opportunity to increase their profits, and reduce their operational costs by reducing, reusing, and recycling water without the use of flocculants.

Weatherford (NYSE: WFT) is one of the largest global providers of innovative mechanical solutions, technology and services for the drilling and production sectors of the oil and gas industry.

A major concern of water planners is “fairness” in the context of historical water use. They are looking for a way to reward people who conserve, regardless of their historic water use.
