FTTN Considering Push into Enhanced Oil Recovery Business

August 5, 2015 | By Business Wire News

LAS VEGAS

First Titan Corp. (OTCBB: FTTN) is seriously examining the possibility of getting into the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) business and is currently conducting due diligence into future market conditions, the state of the competition and potential upcoming technology advances.

“We’re looking at a wide range of scenarios,” said FTTN CEO Sydney Jim. “We’re very early in the process, but from what we’ve seen thus far, such a move would be one potential way to diversify the company, secure another revenue stream and ultimately build shareholder value. We’re open to all these possibilities and carefully considering all options.”

EOR is a method for increasing the amount of crude oil that can be extracted from an existing field. Sometimes it is called “tertiary recovery,” as it follows primary and secondary extraction methods. There are currently three means used to enhance recovery at an oil field: chemical injection, thermal injection and gas injection (usually using carbon dioxide, or CO₂).

EOR can result in up to 60 percent extraction of a field’s available oil – far higher than primary or secondary recovery methods. Analysts estimate enhanced oil recovery can extend an existing oil field’s production life by up to 25 years.

“This is an industry that looks like it’s about to take off,” Mr. Jim said. “If it does, we want to be in a strong position to take advantage of that.”
