Pulse Oil Announces EOR Operational Progress and the Retirement of Dr. Douglas Ellenor

CALGARY, Alberta, May 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pulse Oil Corp. (the “Company” or “Pulse”) (TSXV: PUL) reports that Pulse has received approval from the Alberta Energy Regulator (“AER”) on two applications related to the Enhanced Oil Recovery (“EOR”) program.

Pulse is pleased to announce that the Company was granted approval from the AER to amend the original EOR plan that was approved in November 2022 and is currently underway in the Nisku D pool and also to begin a water-flood injection program into a small section of the reservoir referred to by Pulse management as the “14-04 Pod” or “Pod”. After significant technical analysis the 14-04 Pod is clearly shown as a separate section within the larger reservoir that is currently being solvent flooded. The Pod has had numerous technical confirmations that identified this Pod as not having benefitted previously from the water-flooding program that has been completed over previous years. Pulse started the water-flood of the Pod on May 28, 2024, with the goal of pressuring the Pod up and then drilling a separate producer well at a later date, within the Pod. Following the water-flood, the 14-04 well will then be used to inject solvent into the Pod, similarly to what is being conducted on the rest of the reservoir.

As announced previously Pulse is happy that solvent has been technically confirmed to be moving through the D pool as planned and is showing that the EOR program is working based on independent lab analysis of the oil and gas being produced. Pulse reported that the results of the testing have shown that the API gravity of the produced oil has improved from approximately 36 to 42 due to the miscibility of solvent with the oil within the pool. In addition, independent analysis of the liquids produced from the most recently drilled well has shown that approximately 10% is from the injected solvent from the EOR program being emulsified with the Nisku oil, further supporting the progress of the EOR through the pool.

In other news, Pulse also announces that effective May 29, 2024, Dr Douglas Ellenor has tendered his resignation from the Board of Directors of Pulse Oil Corp. as Dr. Ellenor is retiring.

Pulse CEO, Garth Johnson, commented, “We are pleased with the progress we are making and the addition of the water-flood opportunity in the 14-04 Pod is a cost-effective way that we believe, based on the technical modelling done to date, will increase oil production once the Pod is fully pressured up. We will use water produced from our other wells at Bigoray and inject it into the Pod. Other than setting up the 14-04 well for injection and setting up the injection equipment at surface that’s already been completed, there is little cost to Pulse to get the water injecting consistently. Finally, I would like to thank Dr. Doug Ellenor for all his time, guidance and professionalism throughout the years. I’ve known Doug a long time and although its sad to see him leave Pulse, we wish him the best in retirement.”
