In September 2005, Rival Technologies Inc. purchased a technology with the potential to provide an upgrading process for heavy crude and oil sands bitumen. TRU Oiltech Inc. was created, laboratory scale research and development rejuvenated, resulting in a next generation primary upgrading technology, the TRU™ process. The process cost effectively produces a premium, pipeline grade, synthetic crude oil branded TRULITE™ and is now ready for continuous feed pilot testing by heavy oil producers and refiners worldwide.

KEY POINTS

• Delivers ultra high yield, pipeline grade synthetic crude oil with a premium price when compared to dilbit and other synthetics.
  
  
• Captures significant portion of heavy to light differential.
  
  
• Eliminates need to mix bitumen with diluent (dilbit) or synthetic crude (synbit) for pipeline transportation to refinery.
  
  
• Circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) reduces natural gas requirements for steam generation.
  
  
• Produces sufficient steam for SAGD injection wells.
  
  
• Generates sufficient energy to produce project electricity needs.
  
  
• Economic barriers to entry removed via major CAPEX reduction.
  
  
• Economies of scale at 25,000 BPD (barrels per day).
  
  
• Eliminates noxious emissions.
  
  
• Value added by-product - saleable ammonium sulphate fertilizer.

Rival Technologies is making steady progress towards technology commercialization.  Below is an example of a projected market capitalization for Rival following field  deployment of the TRU™ process: 

Projection - Market Capitalization

 Economies of scale are reached with introduction of the TRU™ process at the 25,000 BPD production level. It is becoming standard to construct 100,000 BPD SAGD projects in four phases over a three to five  year span.

Using a July 2007 Value comparison model and industry standards for IP technologies, projected market cap is projected as follows: 

Single SAGD Project

S     Phase I production @ 25,000 (barrels per day) BPD x 350 operating days per year = 8,750,000 barrels of bitumen annual production

S     Projected net profit of $1.50/barrel = $13,125,000 annualized

S     Shares outstanding :  47,008,628 =  Net Profit per share of 0.279 cents - Phase One

 

S     Full production ( 8,750,000 x 4 phases) = 35,000,000 barrels  annual production

S     projected net profit of $1.50 per barrel = $52,500,000 annualized

S     Current total shares outstanding of 47,008,628 = Net Profit per share of $1.116 at    full production of all Phases

S     Phase One:       Projected  Market Capitalization  =  $197 million

S     Full Revenue:    Projected  Market Capitalization  = $ 787 million
