Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. Expands Well Maintenance Treatments

LITTLE RIVER, S.C., Feb. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. (OTCBB: IEVM) today announced that it is providing Excelyte well maintenance treatments on approximately sixty oil wells in the Uinta Basin in Utah and twenty oil wells in the Permian Basin in New Mexico.  The growth in Utah represents an increase of approximately 200% from the twenty oil wells that the Company was treating at the end of November 2014.  The results in New Mexico constitute an increase of approximately 400% over the four oil wells that the Company was treating when it commenced operations in this area at the end of November 2014.  Based on our current pricing and historical volume requirements, the Company estimates that these 80 wells could generate approximately $510,000 of revenue over the next twelve months.  The Company currently is also in discussions with four new customers in the Uinta Basin and three new customers in the Permian Basin regarding the commencement of Excelyte well maintenance treatments.  

David R. LaVance, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The growth in the number of oil wells that we are treating in both the Uinta and Permian Basins demonstrates the effectiveness and customer satisfaction regarding our Excelyte well maintenance treatments.  All indications suggest continued use and growth will occur in our first two basins and there should be wide acceptance in the overall market as expansion to other basins likely occurs".

Mr. LaVance further commented, "We believe that the recent decrease in oil prices has had a positive effect on our business, as oil producers reduce emphasis on drilling new wells and focus on making existing wells more efficient and profitable.  Excelyte well maintenance treatments should lower oil production costs since Excelyte reduces the level of hydrogen sulfide gas in oil wells.  We believe Excelyte acts faster than competing products due to, in part, Excelyte's ability to rapidly kill sulfate-reducing bacteria.  Excelyte also kills bacteria that corrode well equipment and well linings which should lower well repair costs for an oil producer.  Further, Excelyte is easier to administer and more environmentally friendly than competing products due to its naturally occurring properties".

Hydrogen sulfide is a toxic and corrosive chemical that frequently appears in oil and gas production.  Excelyte acts as a hydrogen sulfide scavenger and as a biocide that kills sulfate-reducing bacteria, which are known to produce hydrogen sulfide.  The Company's down-hole well maintenance operations consist of treating oil production wells that test positive for hydrogen sulfide with regularly scheduled applications of Excelyte.
