Nikron Technologies Collaborates With University of Wyoming Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute to Tap Into 1 Billion Barrels of Potential Oil

TOPEKA, Kan., Dec. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Nikron Technologies, Inc. (OTC Pink: NKRN) is pleased to announce that it is working with the Wyoming Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute in furtherance of the common objective of a cost effective solution to the recovery of proven oil reserves which have heretofore been non-recoverable heavy oil.

The University of Wyoming, with the cooperation of the state legislature, has created an Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute (EORI) with its School of Energy Resources. The purpose of the Institute is to assist Wyoming producers with the recovery of "stranded" oil. Accordingly, EORI's mission includes facilitation of the testing, evaluation and documentation of EOR technologies in real world environments. It aims to assist in the creation of benchmark innovative petroleum practices and transfer that "know how" to Wyoming operators through workshops, conferences and projects. A Technical Advisory Board (TAB) comprised of leading experts from universities and energy companies throughout the U.S. provides technical oversight of EORI work (see www.uwyo.edu/eori).

In developing the most complete Wyoming EOR-specific dataset that exists, EORI has estimated that additional recovery of oil from the state's depleted oil fields using advanced EOR technology could total more than 1 billion barrels of additional production over the next 20 years. In 2009 approximately 51.3 million barrels of oil were produced in Wyoming. About 12 percent, or 6 million barrels, of that oil was produced from EOR projects.

Nikron's approach, which is of extreme interest to the Institute, is the use of super heated steam to reclaim oil in shallow wells. Nikron has spent the past several years developing environmentally friendly proprietary technology which relates to high temperature steam generators used in the recovery of heavy oil.

Dave Mohrbacher, Director of the Institute, said: "We have been working with Nikron for some time, and look forward to building and enhancing our cooperative relationship. EORI has screened Wyoming reservoirs using our institute's data base, and we have identified reservoirs in which Nikron's steam technology may be applicable. EORI will assist with field demonstration of Nikron's technology in Wyoming."
