FORT WORTH, Texas, June 24, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Ecoloclean Industries, Inc. (Pink Sheets:ECCI) is moving forward with plans to open a pilot plant in Carrizo Springs, Texas. The operation will treat flowback water from drilling operations. Company COO, John Adams is on the ground in Carrizo Springs, implementing the completion of the pilot plant with his team and a licensed operator of disposal wells in Texas.
According to Mr. Adams, "The current growth in the exploration and production experienced by the O & G industry had been driven by the evolution of drilling and production technologies such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing (fraccing). As a market for remediation services, treating water generated by the O & G industry is in its infancy. Up to this point most of the wastes have been disposed by utilizing injection wells or land farming. With more than 50,000 permitted oil/gas injection and disposal wells in Texas*, we are certain that the placement of our resources here are prudent. More aggressive efforts to reclaim fracturing waters are a somewhat recent development. Droughts as well as environmental impact have brought more focus on utilization and recovery."
"As we have reported, our focus has been to develop markets for our E-C WaterPure(tm) units in Texas, and specifically the Barnett Shale field. Setting up our pilot plant will provide not only revenues for ECCI, but also an exceptional platform to highlight our technology and the value of our company. Clearly we are focused and will establish our company throughout the conventional oil and gas business sectors, as well as the Oil Shale and Coal Bed Methane segments," stated Royis Ward, Chairman of Ecoloclean Industries.
*According to the Railroad Commission of Texas, Texas has more than 50,000 permitted oil and gas injection and disposal wells. In 2007 there were a total of 89 injection wells, 4 surface waste disposal facilities and 64 commercial saltwater disposal wells on our records, and 36 disposal permits were issued.
