Wescorp Energy is a Canadian company which provides technology for separating water from oil which it claims is significantly more effective than previous technologies.
Mark Norris, a former Alberta Cabinet Minister of Economic Development under Premier Ralph Klein, is the company's chairman.[1]
Oil/Water separation
WesCorp developed and patented a new method of separating oil from production wastewater and re-injecting the water into drilled oil wells. As a by-product, the separated oil could be added to total production. As of August 2008, this testing phase was reported as complete and the new process has begun entering mainstream oil production.[2]
The cleaner water can be injected to improve pressures in the reservoir without blocking the well. The company states that its process can reduce operating costs for a well by reducing the number of fracs (well servicing events) a year from 10 to five. Also, about 40 barrels of oil can be recovered from a 2,000-barrel-per-day facility.[3]
The conventional technology used today to remediate water leaves oil contamination of 0.5% to 3%. Wescorp claims its technology can improve that to .005% (50 parts per million).[4]
