LITTLE RIVER, S.C., Feb. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. (OTCBB: IEVM) today announced that it closed on a $1,960,000 financing through the sale of its common stock. The company will use the proceeds from this financing to continue its expansion of its oil and gas operations in the Uinta Basin in Utah and the Permian Basin in New Mexico and it expects to add an additional production facility in the Permian Basin in Texas.
David R. LaVance, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The success of our Excelyte™ well maintenance treatments over the past several months has created a large opportunity for our business. This financing will provide us with the capital we need to grow our oil and gas operations and to build our team in order to meet our market opportunities.”
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.
