Water Stocks Sector Close –Up on Water Stocks Following a Recent Survey Reporting Water Issues are the Top Environmental Concern Worldwide

Water Stocks Sector Close –Up on Water Stocks Following a Recent Survey Reporting Water Issues are the Top Environmental Concern Worldwide


POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC –August 21, 2009 www.Water-Stocks.com, an investor and industry portal for the water sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close-up on water stocks following a recent survey reporting water issues are the top environmental concern worldwide. Investors following the sector can find research tools, news and global water stock directory to find opportunities within the growing sector.

Water investors can also read recent interviews and gain insight from Perspectives on the Water Industry by Sector Expert Neil Berlant, Fund Manager of the PFW Water Fund : PFW Water A (PFWAX).


Report/news:
NEW GLOBAL PUBLIC OPINION SURVEY FINDS WATER ISSUES ARE THE TOP ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN WORLDWIDE

Water pollution and shortage of fresh water emerge as most important water-related issues

STOCKHOLM – A comprehensive global public opinion survey on attitudes about fresh water sustainability, management and conservation finds that people around the world view water issues as the planet’s top environmental problem, greater than air pollution, depletion of natural resources, and loss of habitat and climate change.

The poll surveyed 1,000 people in each of 15 countries, and probed 500 in each of the following countries on specific questions: Canada, China, India, Mexico, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. The results were released today in Stockholm as part of World Water Week. The independent survey was commissioned by Circle of Blue, the Michigan-based international network of leading journalists, scientists and communicators focused on global water issues. Molson Coors Brewing Company (NYSE: TAP) supported the research, which was conducted by GlobeScan, a global survey research firm.
Full Story: http://www.investorideas.com/News/082009c.asp

According to Dave LeMoine, Vice President of Business Development, of Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTCBB: WSCE),
“The oil and gas industry knows of the term “Peak oil” as production increases, the new term may be “Peak water” let me explain more, it is well known that as fresh water becomes more scarce with global population growth, increasing standards of living in developing countries, and rapid industrialization, and global oil and gas producing companies licensing and consuming a higher degree of fresh water, the reuse of “produced water” is becoming more attractive to the oil and gas industry. Wescorp’s oil water separations technologies H20 Maxx can be the complement to helping producers reuse recycle their produced water. Our technology provides the producers with hydrocarbon free water, this water can play a significant role in providing this renewable resource to increase oil production through injection, or further treatment for other purposes, for example direct discharge in off shore production, recycling frac fluids.”

Water Stocks Sector Close –Up; Market Opportunity for Remediating Oil-Contaminated Water

Water Stocks Sector Close –Up; Market Opportunity for Remediating Oil-Contaminated Water


POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC –August 11, 2009 www.Water-Stocks.com, an investor and industry portal for the water sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close-up on water stocks by Lisa Springer CFA, Equity research analyst, on the market opportunity for remediating oil- contaminated water.

Market Opportunity Remediating Oil-Contaminated Water
Lisa Springer CFA, Equity research analyst and financial writer

Stocks Covered:
Cameron Intl Corp (NYSE:CAM), Nalco (NYSE:NLC), National Oilwell Varco (NYSE:NOV), Veolia (NYSE:VE), Wescorp Energy (OTCBB: WSCE), Weatherford International (NYSE:WFT)

Although oil spills capture headlines, a greater environmental challenge for the oil and gas industry is remediating water polluted in their production operations. Water that comes up with the production of oil and gas is called “produced water.’” Produced water is tainted with hydrocarbon solids, sand, drill cuttings and salts. Oil companies spend an estimated $50 billion every year remediating and/or disposing of produced water to comply with local, state, provincial and federal environmental laws.

The volume of produced water worldwide is estimated at tens of billions of barrels each year. On average, every barrel of oil produced results in three barrels of produced water. That equates to managing or disposing of more than 250 million barrels of produced water each and every day. The hydrocarbons trapped in produced water are, not only an environmental hazard, but also a source of lost revenues. Data indicates that, on average, nine tons of oil is released via produced water for every million tons of hydrocarbons produced.

Disposal costs for produced water add to already high energy bills. These costs typically include trucking, pre-treatment, injection and desalination, and can run as high as $15 per barrel. Disposing of the hydrocarbon solids that remain after the water is treated is even costlier, estimated at nearly $72 per barrel.
Remediation costs for produced water are likely to continue to rise because regulators are pressing for more stringent environmental laws. Penalties for non-compliance are severe; for example, Suncor was recently fined $850,000 for an environmental violation. Costs are also increasing because oil companies are producing more oil to meet the world’s insatiable appetite for energy. Producers are stimulating production from older wells through re-fracturing, a process requiring massive amounts of fresh water, and tapping unconventional oil field plays such as the Alberta Oil Sands and the Barnett Shale. Canadian producers are already consuming over 540 million barrels of fresh water in Alberta Oil Sands operations, resulting in paying water clean up and disposal costs exceeding $100 million annually. Despite the fact that globally fresh water is becoming a scarce commodity, more water is being used, leading to demands that producers reduce water consumption. The problem is that today’s unconventional oil productions require more water than ever – as many as 20 barrels of water for every barrel of oil produced.

The management of produced water is a large market and several companies are marketing technologies for cleaning produced water. The Petreco Wemco division of Cameron (NYSE:CAM) markets a heat treatment technology that separates hydrocarbons from water. National Oilwell Varco (NYSE:NOV) manufactures and sells equipment that mechanically removes suspended solids from produced water. Nalco (NYSE:NLC) offers an aeration technology called Induced Gas Flotation that removes suspended particles from water. Privately-held Welco Expediting and Process Group market centrifuging technologies for cleaning produced water. The GE Zeon segment of General Electric (NYSE:GE), Siemens Water Technology and Veolia (NYSE:VE) offer treatment methods based on filtering membranes. Although all of the above-mentioned methods remove some of the pollutants, most single technologies leave behind residential oil content ranging from 500 to 50,000 parts per million in the water. Having residual hydrocarbon in their produced water has a major impact on producers’ operating expenses.
Wescorp Energy (OTCBB:WSCE) recently began marketing a novel remediation technology called H20Maxx, which the company claims offers a safer, more effective and economical process for cleaning and separating oil and solids from produced water. H20Maxx employs a patented aeration technology that creates microscopic nitrogen bubbles several orders of magnitude smaller than conventional methods. These bubbles attach to oil droplets and break the oil/water interface, allowing oil to be separated. Third party laboratory tests have shown that H20Maxx reduces oil content in produced water to less than 10 parts per million. Because H20Maxx-treated water is more hydro carbon-free, it dramatically reduces both operating costs and water consumption and also provides the producer with a resalable oil stream. For producers operating in areas where water is in short supply such as the Barnett Shale and Alberta Oil Sands, the ability to re-cycle water is a major advantage.

Oil and gas producers recognize the benefits of H20Maxx and have begun using Wescorp’s technology. Last December, Wescorp received 3rd party verification of the H20Maxx’s efficiency and scalability, which led to the signing of a letter of intent with Weatherford International (NYSE:WFT).Weatherford is one of the world’s largest energy services providers, with operations in more than 100 countries and annual revenues of nearly $10 billion.

In 2009, Wescorp has made significant progress deploying its technology. The company shipped its first H20Maxx unit to an oil/gas operator in Kansas in May. The unit began operating in July, providing remediation services for one conventional oil well, and is performing well. The oil company in Kansas has now ordered a second unit. H20Maxx units are leased on a day lease rate with a 2,000 barrels/day unit leasing for approximately $1,500/day. In June, Wescorp announced the leasing of an H20Maxx unit to Western Canadian Oil Sands, which plans to deploy the unit at its Athabasca Oil Sands operations in Northern Alberta. In late July, Wescorp announced a 50/50 joint venture with Cancen Oil Canada Corporation to initially install a combined 12 H20Maxx water units and HXCT solids units over the next 12 months at Cancen’s facilities. The joint venture will then build additional units to provide onsite remediation to oil and gas producers in western Canada. Cancen will fund, operate and manage the joint venture, as well as fund construction and deployment costs of the units.

President Obama Announces $2.4 Billion in Grants to Accelerate the Manufacturing and Deployment of Next Generation of U.S. Batteries and Electric Cars

President Obama Announces $2.4 Billion in Grants to Accelerate the Manufacturing and Deployment of the Next Generation of U.S. Batteries and Electric Vehicles

Recovery Act will fund 48 new advanced battery and electric drive components manufacturing and electric drive vehicle deployment projects in over 20 states

Elkhart, Indiana - Further accelerating the manufacturing and deployment of electric vehicles, batteries, and components here in America, and creating tens of thousands of new jobs, President Obama today announced 48 new advanced battery and electric drive projects that will receive $2.4 billion in funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. These projects, selected through a highly competitive process by the Department of Energy, will accelerate the development of U.S. manufacturing capacity for batteries and electric drive components as well as the deployment of electric drive vehicles, helping to establish American leadership in creating the next generation of advanced vehicles.

"If we want to reduce our dependence on oil, put Americans back to work and reassert our manufacturing sector as one of the greatest in the world, we must produce the advanced, efficient vehicles of the future," said President Obama.

"For our nation and our economy to recover, we must have a vision for what can be built here in the future - and then we need to invest in that vision," said Vice President Biden. "That's what we're doing today and that's what this Recovery Act is about."

“These are incredibly effective investments that will come back to us many times over – by creating jobs, reducing our dependence on foreign oil, cleaning up the air we breathe, and combating climate change,” said Energy Secretary Steven Chu. “They will help achieve the President’s goal of putting one million plug-in hybrid vehicles on the road by 2015. And, most importantly, they will launch an advanced battery industry in America and make our auto industry cleaner and more competitive.”

The announcement marks the single largest investment in advanced battery technology for hybrid and electric-drive vehicles ever made. Industry officials expect that this $2.4 billion investment, coupled with another $2.4 billion in cost share from the award winners, will result directly in the creation tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs in the U.S. battery and auto industries.

The new awards cover the following areas:

•$1.5 billion in grants to U.S. based manufacturers to produce batteries and their components and to expand battery recycling capacity; •$500 million in grants to U.S. based manufacturers to produce electric drive components for vehicles, including electric motors, power electronics, and other drive train components; and •$400 million in grants to purchase thousands of plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles for test demonstrations in several dozen locations; to deploy them and evaluate their performance; to install electric charging infrastructure; and to provide education and workforce training to support the transition to advanced electric transportation systems.Today, President Obama visited Navistar International Corporation, in Elkhart, Ind., to make the announcement. Navistar will receive a $39 million grant to manufacture electric trucks which the company reports will ultimately will create or save hundreds of jobs when full scale manufacturing at the site commences. Overall, seven projects in Indiana will receive grants totaling more than $400 million. The applications from the companies and from one university engaged in this technology research anticipate that these awards will create or save thousands of jobs.

Vice President Joe Biden and four Members of the Cabinet also fanned out across the country to discuss the historic announcement.

Vice President Biden was in Detroit to announce over $1 billion in grants to companies and universities based in Michigan. Reflecting the state's leadership in clean energy manufacturing, Michigan companies and institutions are receiving the largest share of grant funding of any state. Two companies, A123 and Johnson Controls, will receive a total of approximately $550 million to establish a manufacturing base in the state for advanced batteries, and two others, Compact Power and Dow Kokam, will receive a total of over $300 million for manufacturing battery cells and materials. Large automakers based in Michigan, including GM, Chrysler, and Ford, will receive a total of more than $400 million to manufacture thousands of advanced hybrid and electric vehicles as well as batteries and electric drive components. And three educational institutions in Michigan, the University of Michigan, Wayne State University in Detroit, and Michigan Technological University in Houghton in the Upper Peninsula, will receive a total of more than $10 million for education and workforce training programs to train researchers, technicians and service providers, and to conduct consumer research to accelerate the transition towards advanced vehicles and batteries.

Energy Secretary Steven Chu, whose Department selected the 48 award winners, visited Celgard, in Charlotte, NC, to announce a $49 million grant for the company to expand its separator production capacity to serve the expected increased demand for lithium-ion batteries from manufacturing facilities in the U.S. Celgard will be expanding its manufacturing capacity in Charlotte, NC and nearby Aiken, SC, and the company expects the new separator production to come online in 2010. Celgard expects that approximately hundreds of jobs could be created, with the first of those jobs beginning as early as fall 2009.

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson was in St. Petersburg, FL, to announce a $95.5 million grant for Saft America, Inc. to construct a new plant in Jacksonville on the site of the former Cecil Field military base, to manufacture lithium-ion cells, modules and battery packs for military, industrial, and agricultural vehicles.

Deputy Secretary of the Department of Transportation John Porcari visited East Penn Manufacturing Co., in Lyon Station, Penn., to award the company a $32.5 million grant to increase production capacity for their valve regulated lead-acid batteries and the UltraBattery, a lead-acid battery combined with a carbon supercapacitor, for micro and mild hybrid applications. East Penn Manufacturing is a third-generation family business with over 63 years in battery manufacturing.

Commerce Secretary Gary Locke visited Kansas City, Missouri, to announce a $10 million grant for Smith Electric to build and deploy up to 100 electric vehicles, including vans, pickups, and their "Newton" brand medium duty trucks. In addition, Secretary Locke announced three other grants supporting manufacturing and educational programs in Missouri: a $30 million grant to Ford Motor Company supporting the manufacturing of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in Kansas City and in Michigan; and a $5 million grant to Missouri University of Science and Technology, in Rolla, Missouri, to fund educational and workforce training programs on advanced vehicles technologies.

Uptick in Q2 2009 US cleantech investment driven by large deals and improved investor confidence

Uptick in Q2 2009 US cleantech investment driven by large deals and improved investor confidence

Cleantech investment rises 73% to $572 million quarter over quarter, led by solar and efficiency deals

San Francisco, 29 July 2009— US venture capital (VC) investment in cleantech companies in Q2 2009 reached $572 million, an increase of 73% in terms of capital, with 48 financing rounds, a 100% increase in number of transactions compared to Q1 2009, according to an Ernst & Young LLP analysis based on data from Dow Jones VentureSource. Compared to Q2 08, the second-highest quarter for cleantech investment on record, the Q2 09 results were 59% and 16% below those record levels in terms of capital and number of transactions respectively.

VC investment in cleantech in Q2 09 was lead by the Energy/Electricity Generation category, which raised $157 million, a quarterly increase of 181% as compared to Q1 09. Within this category, solar deals received the lion’s share of capital, more than trebling to $148 million compared to the prior quarter. Deal activity in the solar segment represented 26% of all quarterly cleantech investment by VC firms. The solar results were driven by deals such as the $25 million, first round investment in Skyline Solar, based in Mountain View, CA, which was led by New Enterprise Associates.

The Energy Efficiency category grew 168% from Q1 09 to $152 million due to power and efficiency management service deals that accounted for the majority of investment. This segment experienced 143% growth during Q2 09, attracting $93 million. A notable deal in this segment was the $30 million investment in the residential smart grid company Tendril headquartered in Boulder, CO. This investment was led by VantagePoint Venture Partners and has since followed with a partnership with GE to enable smart appliances to communicate over metering and broadband networks.

The demand for environmentally-friendly transportation options encouraged investment in the Alternative Fuels category to $53 million in Q2 09, driven by the $40 million later stage round investment in Gevo, a biofuels company based in Englewood, CO. Additionally, the Transportation sector received a $65 million investment in Q2 09. The majority of this funding came from Daimler AG’s $50 million investment in Tesla Motors in San Carlos, CA.

“The quarterly uptick reflects investor confidence in the ability of cleantech companies to capitalize on market opportunities,” says Joseph A. Muscat, Ernst & Young LLP, Americas Director of Cleantech. “While enacted and anticipated government actions have helped bolster confidence and catalyze new capital, we believe that leading cleantech companies will be defined by their ability to execute on business plans and advance their technologies through commercialization and distribution despite the challenging economy.”

The investor mixQuarterly VC investment in cleantech exhibits a shift from companies in the product development stage toward companies in the start-up and shipping product stages. Start-up cleantech companies received 8% of financing rounds in Q2 09 compared to none in Q1 09. Companies at the shipping product stage accounted for 65% of financing rounds compared to 54% in the prior quarter. By contrast, product development stage companies received just 27% of financing rounds compared to 46% last quarter.

Q2 09 results also illustrate the continued mix of investors who are partnering to advance the US cleantech market. Seven of the top 10 cleantech venture deals included participation by private equity, hedge fund or corporate investors. For example, the $54 million investment in Powerspan Corp., a carbon dioxide capture technology company in Portsmouth, NH, was made by a syndicate of investors that included VC firms, private equity firms, corporate investors and a hedge fund.

Cleantech investments in other asset classes also riseThe rebound in VC investment in cleantech was accompanied by a rise in private equity and asset backed financings. New Energy Finance (NEF) tracked $240 million in clean energy private equity investments, a rise of 12%. This figure includes the $69 million round secured by the battery manufacturer A123 in Watertown, MA, and the $50 million investment in Spectrawatt, a solar cell manufacturer in Hillsboro, OR.

Clean energy asset financings grew significantly according to NEF, increasing from $307 million in Q1 09 to $2.9 billion in Q2 09. Wind was the primary driver of asset backed financing activity, with deals such as the $504 million financing secured by First Wind for a 203.5 MW project. Solar projects were also supported. SunPower Corporation obtained an undisclosed amount of project financing for its 1.1MW PV project located in Merced, CA from Wells Fargo.

Additionally, there were 12 US M&A transactions of which three had disclosed values totaling $157 million, according to JS Herold. Six of the deals include alternative fuel companies.

Government support Government support continues to influence the growth of the US cleantech market. For example, the United States Department of Energy (DOE) released more than $47 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 to accelerate the completion of eight smart grid demonstration projects in seven states. At the state level, the state of Michigan is providing GE with $74 million in tax incentives in light of the company’s plan to build a $100 million advanced-manufacturing center to develop renewable-energy technologies near Detroit. Prospectively, the Department of Treasury’s guidance released in July for accessing grants in lieu of the investment tax credits for qualified energy property, as authorized by ARRA, was another positive step for the cleantech market, particularly as the DOE begins to review applications in August and makes payments within 60 days after receipt of qualified applications.

Obama Administration Announces Billions in Lending Authority for Renewable Energy Projects and to Modernize the Grid

Obama Administration Announces Billions in Lending Authority for Renewable Energy Projects and to Modernize the Grid

Loan Guarantees Will Help Create New Jobs while Fostering Clean Energy Innovation


Washington, DC – July 29, 2009U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced today that the Department of Energy will provide up to $30 billion in loan guarantees, depending on the applications and market conditions, for renewable energy projects. Another $750 million will support several billion dollars more in loan guarantees for projects that increase the reliability, efficiency and security of the nation’s transmission system. The two new loan guarantee solicitations announced today are being funded partly through the Recovery Act and partly through 2009 appropriations.

“These investments will be used to create jobs, spur the development of innovative clean energy technologies, and help ensure a smart, strong and secure grid that will deliver renewable power more effectively and reliably,” said Secretary Chu. “This administration has set a goal of doubling renewable electricity generation over the next three years. To achieve that goal, we need to accelerate renewable project development by ensuring access to capital for advanced technology projects. We also need a grid that can move clean energy from the places it can be produced to the places where it can be used and that can integrate variable sources of power, like wind and solar.”

The lending authority includes:
Up to $8.5 billion in lending authority supported by 2009 annual appropriations for renewable energy.
Up to $2 billion in subsidy costs, provided by the Recovery Act, to support billions in loans for renewable energy and electric power transmission projects.
Up to $500 million in subsidy costs to support loans for cutting edge biofuel projects funded by the Recovery Act.
Up to $750 million in subsidy costs, provided by the Recovery Act, to support loans for large transmission infrastructure projects in the U.S. that use commercial technologies and begin construction by September 30, 2011.

The two solicitations issued today mark the sixth and seventh rounds of solicitations by the Department’s Loan Guarantee Program, which encourages the commercial use of new or improved energy technologies to help foster clean energy projects. Applications will be accepted over the next 45 days. The Department has streamlined its processes to accelerate these new loan solicitations. By investing in both renewable energy technology for generating electricity and technologies to modernize the country's transmission system, the Recovery Act targets the full integration of renewable energy sources onto the electric grid.
Read more information on this solicitation and the Department’s Loan Guarantee Program. Additional loan guarantee solicitations funded by the Recovery Act will be announced soon.

Oil and Gas Technology Solutions Company, Wescorp Energy (OTCBB:WSCE) ,enters into Joint Venture Partnership with Cancen Oil Canada Corporation (COCC)

Oil and Gas Technology Solutions Company, Wescorp Energy (OTCBB:WSCE) ,enters into Joint Venture Partnership with Cancen Oil Canada Corporation (COCC)


HOUSTON, TX and CALGARY, July 29 - Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTC.BB: WSCE), an oil and gas technology solutions provider and Cancen Oil Canada Corporation, an Oilfield Waste Management and Processing company based in western Canada, have entered into a 50:50 joint venture agreement. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, a combination of a minimum of 12 H2O Maxx water units and HCXT Solids units will be strategically installed over the next 12 months at Cancen's facilities to significantly increase efficiency and reduce operating costs. As Cancen expands its operation, it is expected to be installing additional units. In addition, it is anticipated that the joint venture will build additional portable units to provide remote on-site remediation for a number of Cancen's clients.

Wescorp and Cancen are completing an assessment of Cancen's facilities, and by August 23 Cancen will post a $1,000,000 irrevocable line of credit for the immediate construction of three units to be deployed at Cancen's facilities.

Under the terms of the agreement, Wescorp will be responsible for providing the intellectual property and technical support. Cancen will be responsible for operating and managing the joint venture and funding the operations, including the construction and deployment costs of all H2O Maxx and HCXT remediation units.

The joint venture will share in the revenue generated by the use of Wescorp's H2O Maxx and HCXT units at Cancen's facilities. Revenue from each unit will be shared between Wescorp and Cancen. Upon initial operation of the remediation units, the revenue will be split 25:75 (Wescorp: Cancen) until 110% of the construction costs are repaid to Cancen. Thereafter, the revenue will be shared on a 50:50 basis.

Cancen operates a number of waste processing facilities in western Canada. Its mission is to provide safe and effective disposal of hydrocarbon waste material through specialized processes in an effort to prevent oil from entering neighboring ecosystems. Cancen creates value through on-site disposal of produced water, hydrocarbon recovery, general cleanup and disposal of slop oil, tank bottoms and crude treatment. Through a three-staged process, Cancen custom treats, then blends, the crude into high quality saleable oil.

"This is a very significant signing for Wescorp. The partnership with Cancen will allow Wescorp to immediately participate in a multi-billion dollar oilfield waste management and processing industry in western Canada," commented Doug Biles, President and CEO of Wescorp Energy. "Wescorp anticipates the joint venture revenue model will result in a significantly higher revenue stream than that of a daily lease model."

"Cancen is delighted to be the joint venture partner of Wescorp Energy," stated Keith Talbot, President of Cancen Oil Canada Corporation. "Wescorp's leading edge water and solids remediation technologies are a perfect fit into our business model and will allow Cancen to become a technological leader in the oilfield waste processing industry in western Canada. With the addition of Wescorp's technologies, we expect our business to grow exponentially."

H2Omaxx is a commercially proven, safe, effective and economical process for cleaning and separating oil and solids from produced water using patented technology. Test results on the H2Omaxx unit have been shown to reduce the oil content in produced water to less than 0.001% or 10 parts per million oil allowing oil and gas operators to reduce, reuse, and recycle water.

The HCXT solids remediation unit is a commercially proven, safe, effective and economical process for the extraction and cleaning of hydrocarbon-laden sediments and solids. The technology uses biodegradable chemicals to separate heavy oil from solids including drilling cuttings and fine sands and clays from oil sand production.

About Wescorp

Wescorp Energy Inc. (www.wescorpenergy.com) is an oil and gas operations solutions company focused on commercializing technologies that overcome tough operations challenges facing oil and gas operators today. Wescorp combines its intellectual capital, oil and gas industry experience, best practices methodologies and its market offerings to deliver these solutions in a timely, economic and environmentally friendly manner.
