Westmont's "FracSolv™" Completes the First and Second Laboratory Tests Successfully
BELLEVUE, Wash., June 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Westmont Resources, Inc. (OTCQB: WMNS) ("Westmont"), announces today that it has completed the first and second of four laboratory tests required to begin field usage of "FracSolv™", our all-natural 100% biodegradable and environmentally safe fracturing solution for deployment in the oil and natural gas drilling industry.
FracSolv™ was developed exclusively for Westmont in a collaborative effort between NuEarth Corporation R&D, TerraSolv Laboratory, and the Avalon Group Ltd R&D. The FracSolv™ formula is loosely based on The Avalon Group Ltd's original AquaSolv™ product formulation which have passed all testing requirements currently being completed on FracSolv™. The final two laboratory tests required to complete prior to field usage are the 6 month freeze test and the 6 month degradable residual test due to complete on September 21, 2011.
FracSolv is a Surfactant based, Anionic Polyacrylamide (PAM) that acts as a stable colloidal particle dispersion solution. The micro-particles in FracSolv utilize the mechanism of disjoining pressure once the micro-particles encounter a discontinuous phase. FracSolv acts to separate oil and natural gas from the formation's surface, thereby accelerating the recovery of oil and natural gas reservoirs. The FracSolv solution has no systemic toxicity to any aquatic organisms or microorganisms and remains 100% biodegradable and environmentally safe throughout its useful product lifespan.
