AUSTIN, Texas, March 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Imperial Resources, Inc. (OTCQB: IPRC) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Imperial Oil & Gas, Inc. (together the "Company", "Imperial") is pleased to announce that opening hours have now been extended at its Green Tide Salt Water Disposal Facility ("Green Tide").
In response to demand, Green Tide is now operating between the hours of 07:00 and 23:00, seven days per week. Green Tide has recruited two additional staff to service these extended hours of delivery. The Company expects that this will result in increased revenue from significantly higher levels of water disposal and to increase the amount of oil capture and consequent oil sales. In parallel, subject to securing the necessary finance, a number of upgrades are expected to be made to the plant to facilitate even higher disposal rates, combined with an increase in marketing effort.
In addition to extending hours and receiving additional trucks, the evening personnel permit Green Tide to pump down-hole late into the evening, thereby maximising storage capacity available in the tanks in the morning of the following day. Mornings are generally the busiest times for truck deliveries, so having this tank capacity at the beginning of the day maximizes intake capability. Green Tide is delighted that this system appears to have resulted in its two best days to date, on consecutive days, last week. The Company also notes that average daily load counts have risen with no increase in marketing effort, other than making truck dispatchers aware of the extended hours.
Repairs have also now been completed to the second disposal pump which was damaged in the lightning strike of October 2011. The pump is now operational and will be used as a back-up prior to the installation of a recirculating pressure reduction line that will permit the second pump to operate in concert with the first to further increase disposal rates. The second tanker offloading bay is now also fully operational and in use.
Robert Durbin, CEO, said; "It's not been easy, on a limited budget, getting things running like this since the lightning strike but, with disposal and oil recovery rates now looking much better, Green Tide is now delivering for us, and there is scope for further optimization."
