ABOUT GLORI ENERGY INC.
Glori Energy (NASDAQ: GLRI) is a Houston-based energy technology and oil production company that utilizes its patented AERO System to increase oil recovery from mature conventional fields through a microbiological process at a substantially lower cost than traditional enhanced oil recovery methods. A customized nutrient solution is injected into the reservoir to stimulate native microorganisms that interact with residual oil, disrupting the restraining forces and allowing it to flow to producing wellbores. The AERO system can reverse production declines and significantly increase ultimate reserve recovery at a low incremental cost per barrel. Glori owns and operates oil fields onshore in the U.S. where it deploys its technology and markets the AERO system to E&P companies globally. For more information, visit www.GloriEnergy.com
