(MENAFN Editorial) EDMONTON, Alberta, Dec. 13, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wavefront Technology Solutions Inc. (Wavefront or the Company) (TSX-V:) (OTCQX:WFTSF) a global leader in the advancement of fluid injection technology for oil and gas well stimulation and Improved/Enhanced oil ('IOR/EOR') recovery is pleased to announce that a new, seven well Powerwave Odyssey custom stimulation campaign has been initiated in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

This new round of Powerwave stimulations follows the recent historically long horizontal well stimulations completed by Wavefront and its local distribution partner. The Powerwave stimulations are lengthy in duration and technically challenging, each stimulation requiring five to seven days to complete. Barring any unforeseen planning or operational issues, Wavefront anticipates all wells will be completed by the end of February 2018.

Powerwave brings significant financial benefits to well stimulation without impacting results including:

Reduced chemical costs compared to conventional stimulation approaches;

Greater post-stimulation sustainability thereby reducing on-going stimulation costs; and,

Better overall post-stimulation well performance as a greater volume of the reservoir is contacted by the treatment chemical.

'Wavefront sees an increasing trajectory for well stimulation activities in the Middle East region,' said Wavefront President and CEO Brett Davidson. 'With current oil prices, we are also anticipating renewed growth in calendar 2018 in the United States well stimulation market.'
