Avalon Receives Paraffin Wax Patent for Enhanced Oil Recovery
Monday August 13, 4:01 pm ET

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Avalon Oil & Gas, Inc., (OTCBB:AOGN - News)
announced to shareholders today that it received notice that the patent
application for its paraffin wax mitigation technology, being marketed as
Ultrasonic Mitigation Solutions(TM), has been granted by the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office.

Avalon's innovative Ultrasonic Mitigation Solutions(TM) could save the oil and
gas industry from losing billions of dollars per year with a cost efficient
environmentally friendly method of removing paraffin wax problems in crude oil
production.

"The scope of the problem posed by paraffin wax and other heavy organic deposits
in crude oil production around the world is massive," commented Kent Rodriguez,
President and CEO of Avalon. A report by the Journal of Petroleum Science &
Engineering from the University of Illinois estimates the total annual cost of
paraffin wax build up in well-bores to be $18 billion. This represents a
substantial potential market for enhanced oil recovery from Avalon's recently
patented Ultrasonic Mitigation Solutions.

This enormously expensive problem is caused when wax compounds precipitate out
of the crude oil and cause blockages in well-bores, walls of production tubing
and surface flow equipment. The deposits of paraffin lead to a fall in
production rates of oil from the affected wells. "The estimated return on
investment to producers is tremendous, especially when compared to the workover
costs of a problem well, which could exceed $1,000,000 per well," added
Rodriguez. Paraffin wax deposits in well-bores have resulted in substantial
economic losses to oil producers around the world; including sites in North
America, China, Mexico, Alaska, the North Sea, the Middle East, North Africa and
Venezuela.

Currently available solutions to this problem involve applying an array of
chemical solvents to attack deposits and prevent build-up. Chemical solutions
alone can create environmental liabilities and issues with disposal. In
contrast, Avalon's Ultrasonic Mitigation Solution utilizes ultrasonic waves to
break-up current deposits in the production tubing and prevent future formations
of the wax molecules in an environmentally safe process. Moreover, with this
process, oil producers are saved the cost and operational impact of repeated
mechanical pigging operations and costly workovers.

In July 2006, Avalon acquired the exclusive rights to the paraffin wax
mitigation technology originally developed by researchers from the University of
Wyoming, a noted technical center of expertise for solutions to the paraffin wax
build-up. The company recently launched commercialization and partnership
programs to support Avalon's Ultrasonic Mitigation Solutions product line.
