On March 19, 2013, Novas treated 2 oil wells in the Fredericksburg limestone formation near Shreveport, Louisiana. While these are not as large as production wells located in other parts of the world, they still mark the first such treatments in North America. Since these treatments, the operator has made regular reports and also provided testing data via on site “barrel tests,” which have indicated a significant rise in oil production.
Consistent with previous wells treated, both wells on this shallow field responded with an increase in immediate production. The initial treatments were completed within a 24-hour period as we worked through the night and successfully pulsed the specific pay zones already in production.
According to the field owner and operator, the increase in production has remained constant. “Having seen an approximately 100% combined improvement of oil production is simply amazing,” said Mr. John Zotos, a board member of Propell and Novas. “I insisted on being on site and helping implement the technology and was taken by complete surprise as to how effective the device and treatment have been. Given my background in geology and physics, I know that viscosity and the surface tension in the surrounding sub terrain can be lowered, which is exactly what appears to have been the key to the production improvements. Now I’m truly a believer.”
