Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. Announces Growth of 69% in Oil Wells Treated With Excelyte for Second Quarter 2015

Company Expanding Operations into West Texas Region of Permian Basin and into Western Gulf Basin

LITTLE RIVER, S.C., Aug. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. (OTCBB: IEVM) today announced that as of the end of the second quarter 2015, it was providing Excelyte® well maintenance treatments on 179 oil wells.  This represents an increase of 73 oil wells, or 69%, over the first quarter 2015 and an increase of 148 wells, or 477%, for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

The Company currently operates two production facilities, one in the Uinta Basin in Utah and one in the New Mexico region of the Permian Basin. The Company is also in the process of opening a production facility in the West Texas region of the Permian Basin and an additional facility in the Western Gulf Basin (Eagle Ford Shale) located in South Texas. 

The Company estimates that there are approximately 5,000 oil producing wells in the Uinta Basin, 25,000 oil producing wells in the New Mexico region of the Permian Basin, 64,000 oil producing wells in the West Texas region of the Permian Basin, and 12,000 oil producing wells in the Western Gulf Basin (Eagle Ford Shale) that could benefit from Excelyte® maintenance treatments. The Company estimates that Excelyte® well maintenance treatments in these areas represent an annual market opportunity of $350 million.

David R. LaVance, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "During the second quarter 2015, we continued to expand the number of wells treated with Excelyte®, despite the general downturn in the oil and gas sector resulting from the falling price of oil. Excelyte® well maintenance treatments continue to attract E&P operators because Excelyte® is both an effective biocide and a hydrogen sulfide scavenger that has been shown to reduce well maintenance costs and improve safety."

Hydrogen sulfide is a toxic and corrosive chemical that frequently appears in oil and gas production.  Excelyte® acts as a biocide and as a hydrogen sulfide eliminator/scavenger that kills sulfate-reducing bacteria, which are known to produce hydrogen sulfide. The Company's current down-hole well maintenance treatments consist of regularly scheduled Excelyte® treatments on oil production wells that contain bacteria which can corrode well equipment and well linings; contain bacteria that can sour the oil produced; and/or test positive for hydrogen sulfide.
