Raise Production Inc. Provides Operational Update


CALGARY, Alberta, Jan. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Raise Production Inc. (TSX-V:RPC) ("Raise" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update to its shareholders on recent activities related to its High Angle Lift Solution (“HALS”).

Canada

In August 2017, the Company deployed a component of the HALS system (the High Angle Reciprocating Pump) for an Exploration and Production (“E&P”) company to test performance and productivity against existing technologies. In December 2017, the same E&P company purchased nine additional HALS (High Angle Reciprocating Pumps) in the same area based on the performance of the test installation. We now have a commitment for 40 additional installations on newly drilled horizontal wells throughout 2018 for this E&P company. 

This E&P company will also be testing the complete HALS system (High Angle Reciprocating Pump in conjunction with Raise’s WaveBreaker, Reveal Separator and Fluid Seeker) to improve horizontal well flow in addition to efficiencies and improvement already gained with the High Angle Reciprocating Pump component. Demonstrated economic and productivity improvements are the drivers for this commitment from the E&P company.

United States

Initial production increases have been significant for our customers in Permian and Eagle Ford deployments since installations in November 2017. The Company expects to have additional sales in these formations soon once system longevity is proven and production has stabilized. 

The Company will also be running its first STACK formation installations in Oklahoma in early March 2018.

The Company advises shareholders to periodically visit its website for updated presentations and upcoming events.
