Pilgrim Petroleum Acquires and Reactivates Scavenger Oil Recovery's Nitrogen Injection Technology

DALLAS, March 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pilgrim Petroleum Corporation (Pink Sheets: PGPM) (FWB: PHV), an independent oil and gas company based in Dallas, Texas, is pleased to announce the reactivation of Scavenger Oil Recovery's services including its Nitrogen Membrane Injection System. The device is deployed in a portable unit, designed to be mobile for use in both "huff and puff" and "dedicated drive" marginal well development scenarios.  The technology has been previously field tested in the North Texas area by Scavenger Oil.  The system produces a 95% to 99% Nitrogen purity level dependant on factors such as external temperatures and feed pressure.  Matt O'Bryant, COO, commented, "One of our competitive strengths is the experience and knowledge to improve operational efficiencies to lower costs and increase profits."  Scavenger Oil Recovery is forecasting significant oil revenue increases by the end of Q3 of 2010 for Pilgrim Petroleum through the use of Nitrogen injection in existing wells. Utilized by major oil companies for several years Nitrogen Membrane Injection technology has proved successful by increasing oil production in various types of oil reservoirs.  Scavenger's processes can typically restore a well close to its original flow rates as well as meet current and future mandates from the EPA on the elimination and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Enhanced oil recovery applications are designed to restore reservoir pressure, increase oil production and lower operating costs. The Department of Energy has determined that EOR can add 89 billion barrels to recoverable domestic oil resources.
