What are Pledge Petroleum's Business Segments?
On January 30, 2013, Novas entered into the exclusive, perpetual royalty bearing
License Agreement with the Licensor, which was amended in March 2014 and further
amended on December 23, 2014, that granted Novas the right to practice, develop,
use, market and commercialize the proprietary process of the Licensor, which consists
of a specially designed apparatus and certain proprietary technology, methods
and processes that may be applied to enhance the production of hydrocarbon deposits
using metallic plasma-generated, directed, non-linear, wide-band and elastic oscillations
at resonance frequencies. The amended License Agreement provides Novas with the
right to practice the licensed process and to utilize the Plasma Pulse Technology
to provide services to third parties and for ourselves as well, and to sublicense
the Plasma Pulse Technology in the United States and Mexico. The amended License
Agreement also provides Novas with the right to design and have manufactured the
apparatus and to make modifications and improvements to the Plasma Pulse Technology
provided that the Licensor is provided a non-exclusive license to any such improvements
and modifications and any patent rights of Novas related to the Plasma Pulse Technology.
The process utilizes a down-hole tool that is lowered into vertical wellbores
to the perforated oil producing zone. When initiated, the tool delivers metallic
plasma- generated, directed, non-linear, wide-band elastic oscillations at resonance
frequencies to enhance oil production using the tool developed by the Licensor
and enhanced by Novas. The Plasma Pulse Technology is suitable for oil wells as
deep as 12,000 feet. By optimizing production efficiency combined with the resulting
increased oil production we expect to extend the economic life of mature oil fields
and to recover previously unrecoverable oil efficiently. Most of our tools only
work in vertical wells with a minimum of 5 ½-inch casings and not in horizontal
wells. We developed U.S. made tools to treat 4 ½-inch cased wells.
Numerous companies have utilized the Plasma Pulse Technology that Novas has
licensed in the treatment and stimulation of oil wells throughout the Russian
Federation, China, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Czech Republic. The tool and subsequent
well treatment have been credited with increasing oil production and injector
well fluid flow in over 150 wells outside of the United States in Russia and
China. It does so without any chemicals associated with hydraulic fracturing
and therefore is deemed to be environmentally friendly. The treatment was created
to clear the well drainage area of sedimentation clogging at the perforation
zone.
