WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Jan. 22, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plateau Mineral Development, Inc. (Pink Sheets:PMDP - News) issued a statement today discussing the positive profit effects of the Dilution Solvent on existing oil wells. Dilution Solvent (DS), the catalyzing end product of Plateau's tire converter system, will be used to treat existing oil wells to liberate oil that is too viscous (thick) to economically be pumped from the wells. One barrel (42.2 gallons) of DS at a cost of $25.00 per gallon will sell for approximately $1,000. The ratio for dilution of the Dilution Solvent is at about 50:1; or about one gallon (or a little less dependent on the viscosity of the "in ground oil") of solvent used for one barrel of oil pumped.
Subtracting other operating costs, not including royalty, estimated at $15.00/BBL would translate to a potential net profit of $35.00. To reiterate: A $75 selling price minus $25 for one gallon of DS minus $15 of pumping cost per BBL of oil yields a profit of $35. To an oil field operator this translates to a profit formula that for 50 barrels (BBL) of oil times a $75 price per BBL yields $3,750 in gross revenues for the pumping operator or $1,750 of net revenues. 50 Million BBL of "heavy oil" pumped using DS under this scenario can translate to $1.75 Billion dollars of "net" revenue.
Robert Matthews of Plateau Mineral Development, Inc., states, "Once the DS is used to "thin" the oil, the oil can be pumped and sold, generating new incremental revenues for the pumping company. The leading product is the dilution solvent, which can treat existing wells or be sold separately for profit; therefore, the solvent provides two sources of income for us. Use of the solvent in the oil field will facilitate the economic production of oil that was previously uneconomic to produce. It's more profitable for operators to use oil from our existing wells than to risk drilling new wells. In short, the wells have been drilled and are simply waiting for the solvent to liberate the oil so it can be pumped into tanks and sold at market."
