CALGARY, Nov. 8, 2010 /CNW/ - Secure Energy Services Inc. ("Secure" or the "Corporation") (TSX:SES) announced the receipt of regulatory approval for construction of a treating and disposal facility in the Drayton Valley market area.
"Our entry into the Drayton Valley market places us strategically for additional exposure to oil and liquids rich natural gas drilling." said Rene Amirault, President & CEO. Secure's Drayton Valley Facility is located in the heart of the Pembina Cardium light oil play where a resurgence of industry activity is underway through horizontal drilling and multi-stage frac technology. The Pembina field was discovered in 1953 and is the largest conventional oil field in Canada. The facility is ideally located to provide direct highway access for customers delivering product as well as a tie-in for crude oil shipping. A disposal well has previously been acquired and successfully recompleted adjacent to the facility site.
Construction of the Drayton Valley facility will commence immediately and is anticipated to be operational in the first part of the third quarter 2011.
