TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - July 2, 2014) - Canadian Oil Recovery and Remediation Enterprises Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CVR) ("CORRE" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the progress of its ongoing and upcoming tenders for projects involving the treatment of sludge, soil remediation, oil recovery, and treatment of drill cuttings. The Company would also like to shed more light on its need to protect the bidding price for its recently awarded drill cuttings treatment contract in Kuwait.
With the successful optimization and official approval of our sludge treatment, soil washing, oil recovery and the most recently validated drill cuttings' treatment technologies, SAR AS ("SAR") and CORRE, on behalf of SAR-CORRE MENA ("SCM"), are aggressively in the process of bidding for several new major onshore and offshore projects in the MENA region for the treatment and processing of a combined tonnage of over 1,700,000 tons of drill cuttings, sludge, oil and other chemical contaminated soil broken down as follows:
- Drill Cuttings - Approximately 450,000 tons
- Oily Sludge - Approximately 125,000 tons
- Soil Washing & Remediation - Approximately 1,150,000 tons
Having secured a high value contract in Kuwait, SAR and CORRE, on behalf of SCM, are preparing to demonstrate the quality of their combined technologies, operational experience, as well as project execution efficiencies and capabilities. SCM intends to continue to expand its footprint within the MENA region by securing yet even higher value contracts.
The Company is now working closely with its operating partner SAR, its major shareholders, directors and local banks to provide sufficient project finance to fund the capital and operating expenditures of its current drill cuttings project in Kuwait. In due course the Company will be reporting on the progress of its financing. "We would like our shareholders and stakeholders to know that by protecting our drill cuttings treatment bid prices, we are increasing our chances of winning more contracts in this very lucrative and profitable service line. The demand for the treatment of drill cuttings has been steadily increasing worldwide, especially in our core area of operations, the MENA region," stated Mr. John Lorenzo, the Company's CEO. "Furthermore, the sheer size of both tonnage and value of the contracts we are now bidding for demand, in addition to our relentless perseverance, our utmost prudence and discretion in protecting the formulae of our success, namely our proprietary technologies and processing prices."
