HOUSTON, Texas, Aug. 6, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Propell Technologies (OTCQB:PROP), the exclusive U.S. licensee of a plasma pulse well treatment for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) today confirmed it will be treating the first two wells with its new plasma pulse tools made in the United States for Miller Energy Resources Inc. (NYSE: MILL).
The wells owned and operated by Miller Energy are in the prolific Appalachian Basin in Tennessee. Miller has some 200 producing oil wells and 184 gas wells in the Basin. The wells to be treated are the Hannah Heirs #4 that was drilled in 1980 in Morgan, County Tennessee to a depth of 1400 feet and the Henry Bowling #1 located in Scott County at a depth of 1800 feet. Both wells are 4 ½ inch cased holes with open hole completions.
The treatments are scheduled to be completed on August 8th and 9th. Propell's next generation tools are 3.5 inches in diameter allowing the Company to treat 4 ½ inch cased wells for the first time and operate on a single wire line configuration. This provides Propell with the ability to work with the bulk of the US wire line truck fleet and allows for immediate deployment of the tool due to the vastly greater availability of compatible wells and wire line trucks.
"We are looking forward to working with Miller Energy with the new U.S. made tools. We believe that this certainly opens up the market for us and we anticipate ordering several additional tools shortly thereafter," stated CEO John Huemoeller II.
