ENVIROTEK Introduces Low Cost Oil Separation Process

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:28:00 EST

COSTA MESA, CA--(Marketwire - November 6, 2009) - ENVIROTEK (PINKSHEETS: ENTK) today announced the Company will be introducing a low cost oil separation process for the recovery of natural crude oil from Dead Wells across South America.

Dead Wells are typically projected to be still holding almost 65% of the original crude oil that became non cost effective to pursue by traditional drilling, due to depth and other recovery factors, therefore Oil and Drilling companies capped the wells and left them sitting dormant. There are hundreds of thousands of capped Dead Wells with high quality crude oil across South America. The statistical costs of oil recovery from such wells are estimated to be somewhere between $70-$80 per barrel, which is not cost effective for profitable production unless oil prices are in the range of $100+/barrel.

Media Advisory: Cooler Weather Means It's Time to Have Furnaces Inspected, Says SDG&E

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:20:00 EST

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - November 4, 2009) -

WHAT:       Furnace-safety demonstration at SDG&E's Skills Training Center.
            An SDG&E energy technician will discuss and demonstrate
            furnace-safety tips, how to re-light furnace pilot lights and
            other simple steps to follow to ensure the safe and efficient
            operation of home-heating appliances.

WHY:        Failure to perform annual maintenance on gas appliances may
            result in exposure to carbon monoxide, which can cause nausea,
            drowsiness, flu-like symptoms and even death.

            Also, home heating accounts for more than half of a
            homeowner's winter gas bill, so it is critical that furnaces
            operate safely and efficiently.

            Homeowners are encouraged to visit www.sdge.com to schedule a
            service appointment or call SDG&E if furnace servicing is
