Oretech Announces Cost Effective and Environmentally Friendly Method of Extracting Oil from Tar Sand.


COLUMBUS, Ga. -- Oretech, Inc. (Pink Sheets:ORTE) announced today that the company is in the final stage of an agreement to obtain a limited license for a newly developed method of extracting oil from Tar Sand tar sand
 or bituminous sand

Deposit of loose sand or partially consolidated sandstone that is saturated with highly viscous bitumen. Oil recovered from tar sands, commonly referred to as synthetic crude, is a potentially significant form of fossil fuel.
 while being extremely environmentally friendly Environmentally friendly, also referred to as nature friendly, is a term used to refer to goods and services considered to inflict minimal harm on the environment.[1] .

Could the price per barrel of oil be radically reduced? Could the US significantly reduce its dependency on oil imports?

H. Stephen Shehane, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  of Oretech, believes that the solution exists now that will enable the US to utilize its own resources and reduce dependency on foreign energy sources. Shehane stated some of the highlights of this unique proprietary system:

--The proprietary system utilizes an unconventional heat source

--No depletion of precious natural gas or coal reserves

--No polluted pol·lute  
tr.v. pol·lut·ed, pol·lut·ing, pol·lutes
1. To make unfit for or harmful to living things, especially by the addition of waste matter. See Synonyms at contaminate.

2.
 water or chemicals are released into the environment

--The small amounts of water used in processing remain in a closed system

--Requires no chemical catalysts

--Extremely low consumption of electrical energy

--Recent tests, consistently extracted higher percentages of bitumen bitumen (bĭty`mən) a generic term referring to flammable, brown or black mixtures of tarlike hydrocarbons, derived naturally or by distillation from petroleum.  than published extraction ratios extraction ratio
n.
The fraction of a substance removed from blood flowing through the kidney, calculated using the ratio of the concentrations of the substance in arterial and renal venous plasma.
 from any other extraction method

--Environmentally friendly

--The ability of the proprietary technology to also be used in refining crude oil is an additional potential benefit

Shehane believes that this proprietary system could rapidly revolutionize the present known systems for extraction of oil from tar sand and help reduce US dependency on foreign oil imports while significantly reducing the cost per barrel of oil and avoiding pollution of the environment.

Oretech, Inc. has developed a proof of concept model that represents a breakthrough in oil extraction from Tar Sand processing technology. Its business model is to be a leading edge developer and licensor of proprietary innovative technology that reduces the cost of extraction of noble metals (Chem.) silver, gold, and platinum; - so called from their resistance to oxidation by air and to dissolution by acids. Copper, mercury, aluminium, palladium, rhodium, iridium, and osmium are sometimes included.
