Wescorp Energy Ships First H2Omaxx Water Remediation Unit for Operations in Kansas, USA
HOUSTON, TEXAS AND CALGARY, ALBERTA -- May 26, 2009 -- Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTC BB: WSCE.OB), an oil and gas technology solutions provider, is pleased to announce that a 2,000 barrel per day H2Omaxx water remediation unit has been shipped to Kansas to begin full operations for an oil and gas producer. 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 oil allowing oil and gas operators to reduce, reuse, and recycle water.
In July 2008, Wescorp signed a master lease agreement with a private oil and gas company with operations in Texas, Kansas and Wyoming, to construct, deploy and operate, at the election of the customer, up to 256 H2Omaxx water remediation units over a 60 month period. This will be the first unit shipped under the master lease agreement.
"The deployment of the first H2Omaxx unit is a great step forward for Wescorp Energy," commented Mark Norris, Chairman of Wescorp. "By strategically placing the first unit in a deemed water crisis area in Kansas, it proves our confidence in the H2Omaxx technology and its ability to help our customers and the environment."
"We are excited to showcase our H2Omaxx technology in Kansas. Our customer has agreed to allow other oil and gas operators, government officials and potential investors to visit the site and view its operations. They have also agreed to share their internal data that proves through the use of the H2Omaxx units, well productivity is enhanced and production costs are significantly reduced," commented Doug Biles, President and CEO of Wescorp Energy. "We are confident that Wescorp's water technology will offer significant benefits to our client by improving the recovery of residual hydrocarbons entrained in produced water."
Wescorp and Weatherford are continuing to work towards finalizing our long-term global distribution license agreement.

Water Stocks News - Nalco (NYSE:NLC ) Delivers Solid First Quarter Earnings and Strong Cash, Despite Economy, Forex
Water Stocks News - Nalco (NYSE:NLC ) Delivers Solid First Quarter Earnings and Strong Cash, Despite Economy, Forex
NAPERVILLE, Ill., April 28, 2009 -- Even with difficult economic pressures and negative currency impacts, Nalco (NYSE:NLC ) delivered solid first quarter revenue, earnings, and free cash flow, aided by strong cost controls.
Organic sales dipped just 3.6 percent as part of a nominal sales decline to $868 million from prior-year first quarter sales of $1 billion. Currency translation effects reduced reported sales by 8.3 percent, with divestitures accounting for the remaining 1.2 percent decline.
The stronger U.S. dollar had a similarly negative impact on earnings. Earnings per share were 17 cents in the first quarter, on net income of $23 million, compared to 20 cents in the first quarter of 2008. Organic net income increased 18 percent.
EBITDA margins held flat as EBITDA declined 2.6 percent organically from the $156 million earned in the prior year quarter. Currency further reduced nominal first quarter 2009 EBITDA to $136 million. Earnings reflect $18 million in unfavorable volume variances in our plants, reflecting both the organic sales decline and production curtailments to reduce inventory levels.
Free Cash Flow for the period, $146 million, rose significantly from year-ago first quarter results of $43 million, benefitting from programs to reduce receivables and inventory. Results were ahead of full year 2008 Free Cash Flow of $142 million.
Sales were again led by Energy Services, which delivered 4.9 percent organic growth consisting of 10 percent improvement in oil field services, modest gains with Downstream customers and a decline in the Adomite well-service business that was less steep than rig count declines. Direct contribution of $80 million was just under the prior year quarter's $82 million, as currency impacts offset operational gains. Margins ended flat to last year.
Water Services growth in Latin America was more than offset by declines in North America, Asia and Europe, leading to an overall organic sales decrease of 4.5 percent. Manufacturing and mining sales were among the hardest hit sectors in Water Services, although plant closings hurt sales in several other markets as well. Growth efforts will be supported the remainder of the year by the mid-March introduction of 3D TRASAR(r) Boiler Technology, which drives energy, water, maintenance and other savings for customers. The Nalco Mobotec air protection technologies business led first quarter growth efforts in the segment, expanding 44 percent. The business is expected to continue to grow even while facing delays in some projects as air pollution control rules are adjusted in the United States. Water Services direct contribution of $70 million was down $18 million from the comparable 2008 period on lower sales, currency, and divestiture of the Finishing Technologies business. Direct contribution margins declined 0.7 percentage points.
A steep decline in paper end markets led to decreased Paper Services segment sales. Organic sales fell 16.9 percent, including a 25.7 percent decline in the hard-hit European paper market. Latin America, however, grew 6.8 percent even in tough market conditions. Direct contribution also was lower by $12 million to a total of $23 million on reduced sales and a 2.5 percentage point margin decline from the prior year. However, direct contribution margins improved sequentially from the fourth quarter of 2008, benefiting in part from recent restructuring activities.
Regionally, Latin America organic sales grew sharply across all segments, up 13.6 percent. Organic revenues dropped 3.2 percent in Asia, 3.6 percent in North America and 9.2 percent in Europe, Africa and the Middle East (EAME).
``Given what can only be described as extraordinarily challenging economic conditions, the business and our global team performed well. After a weak start to the year driven by extensive customer plant closures that reduced water treatment sales and production declines that hurt process-oriented revenues, we began seeing some improvement in Water Services end markets late in the quarter,'' said J. Erik Fyrwald, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.
``Still, this likely will be a very challenging year and one with more volatility likely to come. We are pushing aggressively on productivity to help offset the impacts of weaker end markets. We generated very good progress on this front in the first quarter and remain on path -- at $27 million in the first quarter -- to exceed our $100 million savings commitment. Given that we had averaged $11 million in first quarter savings over the past three years, I am very pleased with these early results,'' Fyrwald added.
Working capital reductions were a key contributor to first quarter Free Cash Flow, and the Company expects to deliver further performance improvements into 2010. ``As we improve our demand planning and order-to-cash processes, we will be better positioned to manage inventory, receivable and accounts payable positions going forward,'' Fyrwald said.
In late March, Nalco acquired Crossbow Water, a regional high-purity water and water pre-treatment company. The Crossbow acquisition expands the range of pre-treatment technologies and services that Nalco sales engineers can offer to customers, initially focused on the U.S. Midwest. Crossbow generated 2008 sales of $14 million.

Several non-GAAP measures are discussed in today's press release. Management believes that discussion of these measures provides investors with additional insight into the ongoing operations of Nalco Holding Company. Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to the closest GAAP measure in schedules attached to this press release, which may also be found at http://www.nalco.com/. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure used in determining compliance with the Company's debt covenants. Reconciliation to net earnings is included in Attachment 5. Free Cash Flow is reconciled on Attachment 6 to Cash from Operations as shown on Nalco's Cash Flow Statement, and is defined as Cash from Operations less Capital Expenditures and Noncontrolling Interest charges. In addition, Nalco may discuss sales growth in terms of nominal (actual), organic (nominal less foreign currency and acquisition/divestiture/merger/joint venture/perimeter impacts), and real (organic growth less that portion of the growth which consists of price increases that simply pass along higher purchased material and freight costs). The non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance. Furthermore, these measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided by other companies.
This news release includes forward-looking statements, reflecting current analysis and expectations, based on what are believed to be reasonable assumptions. Forward-looking statements may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results to differ materially from those projected, stated or implied, depending on many factors, including, without limitation: ability to generate cash, ability to raise capital, ability to refinance, the result of the pursuit of strategic alternatives, ability to execute work process redesign and reduce costs, ability to execute price increases, business climate, business performance, economic and competitive uncertainties, higher manufacturing costs, reduced level of customer orders, changes in strategies, risks in developing new products and technologies, environmental and safety regulations and clean-up costs, foreign exchange rates, the impact of changes in the regulation or value of pension fund assets and liabilities, changes in generally accepted accounting principles, adverse legal and regulatory developments, including increases in the number or financial exposures of claims, lawsuits, settlements or judgments, or the inability to eliminate or reduce such financial exposures by collecting indemnity payments from insurers, the impact of increased accruals and reserves for such exposures, weather-related factors, and adverse changes in economic and political climates around the world, including terrorism and international hostilities, and other risk factors identified by the Company. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will meet future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. This paragraph is included to provide safe harbor for forward-looking statements, which are not generally required to be publicly revised as circumstances change, and which the Company does not intend to update.

Water Stocks News -American Water Confirms Water Quality is Not Impacted by Swine Flu
American Water Confirms Water Quality is Not Impacted by Swine Flu
VOORHEES, N.J.--April 28 2009 --American Water Works Company, Inc. (NYSE:AWK), the largest investor-owned U.S. water and wastewater utility company, communicated to its customers today that influenza viruses, including swine flu, are effectively removed by filtration and disinfection.
“In the United States, federal and state drinking water regulations require filtration and disinfection of all surface water supplies (e.g., those from lakes, reservoirs, or rivers). These regulations specify specific treatment requirements for removal and inactivation of viruses,” said Dr. Mark W. LeChevallier, director of Innovation & Environmental Stewardship for American Water. “Because influenza viruses, including swine influenza A (H1N1), are more susceptible to disinfection than most enteric viruses (like Poliovirus, Hepatitis A, or Norovirus), and the influenza viruses are slightly larger and more effectively removed by filtration, current drinking water treatment barriers provide a high degree of protection from “swine flu.” We want to reassure our customers that they do not need to be concerned about the safety of properly treated drinking water with respect to swine influenza A.”
Founded in 1886, American Water is the largest investor-owned U.S. water and wastewater utility company. With headquarters in Voorhees, N.J., the company employs more than 7,000 dedicated professionals who provide drinking water, wastewater and other related services to approximately 15 million people in 32 states and Ontario, Canada. More information can be found by visiting www.amwater.com.
