"Green Fracturing" Produces More Natural Gas Than Chemical Biocide Water Treatment Methods

Chicago, IL, November 25, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Optimal Data Analysis LLC completed an extensive 3-year study of 155 natural gas wells assessed the comparative efficacy of water treatment methods for 96 wells treated using Ecosphere Technologies, Inc. patented Ozonix® water treatment process versus 59 wells treated using Chemical Biocide in the Fayetteville Shale in Arkansas.

Findings established that the use of Ozonix® in water treatment for the hydraulic fracturing of natural gas wells resulted in broadly greater productivity than liquid Chemical Biocide treatment, as indicated by a greater relative frequency of high productivity wells; significantly greater overall gas production achieved in the first two months of post-fracturing operations; and consistently greater gas production and monetary returns (added revenue) across all 12 months of post-fracturing operations.

As compared with Chemical Biocide water treatment methods and based on the current market price of gas, Ozonix® returns $24.9 million dollars in additional revenue per year for 100 gas wells, $124.8 million dollars in additional revenue per year for 500 gas wells, and $249.7 million dollars in additional revenue per year for 1,000 gas wells.
