Wescorp Energy Leases H2Omaxx Water Remediation Unit to Western Canadian Oil Sands Inc

Wescorp Energy Leases H2Omaxx Water Remediation Unit to Western Canadian Oil Sands Inc.


HOUSTON, TEXAS and CALGARY, ALBERTA -- Jun 4, 2009 -- Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTC BB: WSCE.OB), an oil and gas technology solutions provider, is pleased to announce that Western Canadian Oil Sands Inc., (WCOS), has leased a 2,000 barrel per day H2Omaxx water remediation unit to meet its Environmental Water Regulatory Requirements, for its oil sands operations in the Athabasca Oilsands in Northern Alberta, Canada. H2Omaxx is a commercially proven, safe, effective and economical process for cleaning and separating oil and solids from produced water using patented technology.


Test results on the H2Omaxx unit have been shown to reduce the oil content in produced water to less than 0.001% or 10 parts per million, thereby allowing oil and gas operators to reduce, reuse, and recycle water. Wescorp will commence construction of the H2Omaxx unit during the fourth quarter and deploy it into the field upon completion. The initial term of the lease is for one year.

Western Canadian Oil Sands is a well financed Canadian Company, focused on exploring and developing proven oil sands in Alberta, Canada by acquiring low-risk, high impact properties. Its current land portfolio includes 5 strategic land positions, including 17 sections covering 10,880 acres in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.

"We are very pleased to have the opportunity to use Wescorp's H2Omaxx water remediation technology in our oil-sands operations," commented Errin Kimball, President and CEO of Western Canadian Oil Sands. "The use of water is one of the critical issues that oil-sand operators are facing today. The H2Omaxx technology provides us with a solution that provides benefits to our company both in terms of lowering our exploration cost and lessening the impact to the environment."

"We are honored to have Western Canadian Oil Sands choose our water remediation technology as its first choice solution for its oil sand operations," commented Doug Biles, President and CEO of Wescorp Energy. "Based on 51-101 Technical Reports completed in late 2008, WCOS estimated its P50 reserves to be 409.4 million barrels of bitumen. WCOS is an aggressive and fast-moving company and Wescorp is looking forward to providing additional H2Omaxx units as its operations grow."

Western Canadian Oil Sands has agreed to allow heavy-oil operators to visit the site and view its operations. It also has agreed to share its internal data which Wescorp is confident will demonstrate that with the use of the H2Omaxx units, oil sand productivity is enhanced, production costs are significantly reduced, and vast amounts of water are being remediated, reused and recycled.

(www.wescorpenergy.com) is an oil and gas operations solutions company focused on commercializing technologies that overcome tough operations challenges facing oil and gas operators today.

Northwest Pipe (NASDAQ: NWPX) Company Announces $14 Million in Projects


Northwest Pipe (NASDAQ: NWPX) Company Announces $14 Million in Projects


VANCOUVER, WA- June 3, 2009 - Northwest Pipe Company (NASDAQ: NWPX) is pleased to announce that we have been selected as the pipe supplier for two major water pipeline projects. These two projects have a total contract value of $14 million.

The first contract is with Ames Construction of West Valley City, UT. Northwest Pipe will supply approximately 10,000 feet of 96" pipe for the Utah Lake/Spanish Fork Reach 3 project. The pipe will be manufactured at the Adelanto, CA facility with delivery scheduled to begin late in the third quarter of this year.

The second contract is with SJ Louis Construction of Mansfield, TX. Northwest Pipe will supply approximately 20,000 feet of 60" pipe for the Utah Lake/South Fork to Provo Canal/Mapleton Reach project. The pipe will be manufactured at the Saginaw, TX facility with delivery to begin early in the third quarter.
Both of these projects are part of the Central Utah Project Completion Act (CUPCA) enacted in 1992. It removed responsibility for completing the Central Utah Project (CUP), a federal water project, from the US Bureau of Reclamation. CUPCA then distributed responsibility for the project to the local water district -- the Utah Water Conservancy District. CUP is the largest water resources development program ever undertaken in the State. Water developed by the Central Utah Project will be used for municipal, industrial, irrigation, hydroelectric power, fish, wildlife, conservation and recreation. The project will improve flood control capability and assist in water quality control. These orders are for a continuation of a pipeline from the Strawberry Reservoir to the Provo Canal.
Northwest Pipe Company manufactures welded steel pipe and other products in two business groups. Its Water Transmission Group is the leading supplier of large diameter, high-pressure steel pipe products that are used primarily for water infrastructure in North America. Its Tubular Products Group manufactures smaller diameter steel pipe for a wide range of applications including construction, agricultural, energy, traffic and other commercial and industrial uses. The Company is headquartered in Vancouver, Washington and has ten manufacturing facilities across the United States and Mexico.
This release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the project described above. These statements reflect management's current information about the project mentioned above and management's current views and estimates of market circumstances, industry conditions and Company performance. Actual results could vary materially from the description contained herein due to many factors including market demand, operating efficiencies, availability and price of raw materials, and other risks described from time to time in the Company's reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
