The energy technologies Avalon has licensed to Oiltek support energy recovery and production enhancements for recovering oil from marginal producing oil wells. With the rise in crude oil prices and capital availability, this market represents a significant opportunity to expand petroleum production. Oiltek acquires and develops energy recovery and production enhancing technologies for the oil and gas industry. The energy recovery technologies licensed to Oiltek include: production enhancements for paraffin wax mitigation; intelligent drilling and completion for real-time reservoir monitoring; and leak detection for hazardous gas pipelines.

Wax deposits in production tubing and pumping equipment are expensive problems for producers, causing a significant decrease in oil production rates. Avalon's patented technology for paraffin wax mitigation uses ultrasonic waves to break down wax deposits and inhibit wax from attaching to pipe walls. The technology is licensed from the University of Wyoming Research Laboratory, a noted center for expertise in paraffin wax issues and petroleum engineering.

Avalon's intelligent drilling technology for smart oil well borehole casings uses a densely spaced network of casing sensors to monitor critical parameters in a subsurface reservoir. Data fusion technology yields operators real-time knowledge of reservoir operations and processes for primary and secondary recovery. Applications include: mapping and monitoring oil recovery without interfering with normal well operations. This technology was developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

The third technology licensed to Oiltek from Avalon performs hazardous leak detection in gas pipelines. This patented technology provides reliable and continuous monitoring of buried pipelines to detect smaller leaks than possible with currently available methods. This system uses a series of acoustic sensors to monitor gas pipeline emission changes. The technology has been successfully fielded with a major independent oil company, and was originally developed by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

Avalon and Oiltek are actively seeking new energy recovery technologies to commercialize for oil and gas production enhancement.
