Pulse Oil Announces EOR Operational Progress and the Retirement of Dr. Douglas Ellenor
May 30 2024 - 6:30AM
Pulse Oil Corp. (the “
Company” or
“
Pulse”) (TSXV: PUL) reports that Pulse has
received approval from the Alberta Energy Regulator (“AER”) on two
applications related to the Enhanced Oil Recovery (“EOR”) program.
Pulse is pleased to announce that the Company
was granted approval from the AER to amend the original EOR plan
that was approved in November 2022 and is currently underway in the
Nisku D pool and also to begin a water-flood injection program into
a small section of the reservoir referred to by Pulse management as
the “14-04 Pod” or “Pod”. After significant technical analysis the
14-04 Pod is clearly shown as a separate section within the larger
reservoir that is currently being solvent flooded. The Pod has had
numerous technical confirmations that identified this Pod as not
having benefitted previously from the water-flooding program that
has been completed over previous years. Pulse started the
water-flood of the Pod on May 28, 2024, with the goal of pressuring
the Pod up and then drilling a separate producer well at a later
date, within the Pod. Following the water-flood, the 14-04 well
will then be used to inject solvent into the Pod, similarly to what
is being conducted on the rest of the reservoir.
As announced previously Pulse is happy that
solvent has been technically confirmed to be moving through the D
pool as planned and is showing that the EOR program is working
based on independent lab analysis of the oil and gas being
produced. Pulse reported that the results of the testing have shown
that the API gravity of the produced oil has improved from
approximately 36 to 42 due to the miscibility of solvent with the
oil within the pool. In addition, independent analysis of the
liquids produced from the most recently drilled well has shown that
approximately 10% is from the injected solvent from the EOR program
being emulsified with the Nisku oil, further supporting the
progress of the EOR through the pool.
In other news, Pulse also announces that
effective May 29, 2024, Dr Douglas Ellenor has tendered his
resignation from the Board of Directors of Pulse Oil Corp. as Dr.
Ellenor is retiring.
Pulse CEO, Garth Johnson, commented, “We are
pleased with the progress we are making and the addition of the
water-flood opportunity in the 14-04 Pod is a cost-effective way
that we believe, based on the technical modelling done to date,
will increase oil production once the Pod is fully pressured up. We
will use water produced from our other wells at Bigoray and inject
it into the Pod. Other than setting up the 14-04 well for injection
and setting up the injection equipment at surface that’s already
been completed, there is little cost to Pulse to get the water
injecting consistently. Finally, I would like to thank Dr. Doug
Ellenor for all his time, guidance and professionalism throughout
the years. I’ve known Doug a long time and although its sad to see
him leave Pulse, we wish him the best in retirement.”
About Pulse:

the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) that is primarily focused
on a 100% Working Interest Enhanced Oil Project Located in West
Central Alberta, Canada. The project includes two established Nisku

oil for over 40 years.
The Company has instituted a proven recovery
methodology (NGL solvent injection) to further enhance the ultimate
