This is funny. Encore Energy now uses ENP

They drill and they are a master limited partnership too, giving 90% back on existing production, that's why it's an 8% yield right now. But they're exploring, ha ha. Bought this one without looking on what or where or even knowing.

But drilling makes them a long time play, not like trusts that are shutout of survival.

Encore Energy Partners LP Commo - What A-Hole put the wrong name on the board? Sorry, I have no tolerance for this BS from here or anywhere. Everywhere else including the price it is Encore Energy Partners LP Commo......

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE: DNR) ("Denbury" or the "Company") announced that it has entered into an agreement to sell its ownership interests in Encore Energy Partners LP (NYSE: ENP) (“ENP”) to Vanguard Natural Resources, LLC (NYSE: VNR) (“Vanguard”) for $380 million.

Enpar, Veolia to develop DesEl for municipal markets

2007-06-28 07:42 MT - News Release

Dr. Gene Shelp reports

ENPAR TO PARTNER WITH THE RESEARCH CENTRE OF VEOLIA ENVIRONNEMENT TO DEVELOP WATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS FOR MUNICIPAL AND INDUSTRIAL MARKETS

The research centre of Veolia Environnement, which is dedicated to water, has decided to partner with Enpar Technologies Inc. in the further development of DesEl systems for the municipal and industrial market.

This announcement follows approximately 12 months of independent successful testing by the research centre of Veolia Environnement at Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, Montreal, Que., Canada.

Veolia Environnement is a world leader in environmental services. With more than 300,000 employees the company has operations all around the world and provides tailored solutions to meet the needs of municipal and industrial customers in four complementary segments: water management, waste management, energy management, and freight and passenger transportation. Veolia Water, the water division of Veolia Environnement, is the world leader in water and waste water services. Specialized in outsourcing services for municipal authorities, as well as industrial and service companies, it is also one of the world's major designers of technological solutions and constructor of facilities needed in water and waste water services. Veolia Water serves 108 million people worldwide.

The research centre of Veolia Environnement reports that the DesEl system has been demonstrated to be particularly promising for the selective reduction of nitrate, ammonium and probably arsenic, selenium, boron and fluoride in waters with less than 0.5 gram of sodium chloride (salt) per litre of water.

Furthermore, the economic limit in energy consumption compared with reverse osmosis is currently at 0.5 gram of dissolved solids per litre of water, which represents drinking water applications. The research centre further reports that the potential applications or economic limit could be increased by many fold with future developments in the technology.

Like the historical marketing cycle for membrane technologies which resulted in dominance of current water markets for management of dissolved ions, Enpar's management believes that the company is on the cusp of enormous commercial success that will be fuelled by large-scale manufacturing and continuous technology advancements.

Dr. Gene Shelp, president and chief executive officer of Enpar Technologies Inc., is convinced that the "promising results obtained by the research centre of Veolia Environnement at Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal is an important step that will allow Enpar to gain market. Enpar will now focus on improving those economic factors that will quickly broaden the market applications and subsequently increase the intrinsic value of the company. We are very excited about the company's future opportunities and shareholders should be proud of what their company has achieved to date."

Dr. Gene Shelp reports

SWISS DISTRIBUTOR PURCHASES THIRD WATER TREATMENT UNIT

Enpar Technologies Inc.'s Swiss distributor, Aqua & Terra, has purchased a third DesEL unit.

In the past three months, Aqua & Terra has entered into several agreements for testing of the effectiveness of the DesEL system to address various water issues. This latest unit will be used by a well-established engineering firm (established in 1987) that specializes in solving industrial and municipal water issues.

Dr. Gene Shelp, president and chief executive officer for Enpar, stated, "As stated earlier this year, Enpar is greatly encouraged by the repeat business from Aqua & Terra, which speaks to the quality and performance of our products."

"The European market is large and offers tremendous opportunity for Enpar and its distributors," said Dr. Shelp. "Enpar is committed to supporting Aqua & Terra's business development efforts through continuing training initiatives and joint marketing efforts."

Enpar's DeSEL to be put to test by Singapore Utilities

2007-05-25 06:17 MT - News Release

Dr. Gene Shelp reports

ENPAR DESEL UNITS TO BE TESTED BY SINGAPORE UTILITIES INTERNATIONAL

Singapore Utilities International Pte. Ltd. (SUI) of Singapore is to test Enpar Technologies Inc.'s DesEL system for the recovery of water from brine concentrate that is produced by conventional membrane-type water treatment systems.

SUI is a wholly owned subsidiary of the public utilities board (PUB) of Singapore. Its mission is to support the functions of the PUB, using expertise in state-of-the-art water treatment technology.

SUI employs the expertise of its own Centre of Advanced Water Technology (CAWT) to develop and consider for commercialization, novel technologies that can assist its clients in supplying and recycling water for, or treating waste water from, industrial and manufacturing operations.

Capacitive deionization technology is currently being considered for recovery of water in the reject brines that are produced with membrane-based water treatment systems such as reverse osmosis. As much as 30 per cent of the treated water can end up in the waste stream.

Dr. Gene Shelp, president and chief executive officer for Enpar, stated: "This is an exciting opportunity for collaboration with a leader in recycling and reuse of process water. In contrast to conventional disposal of the brine, Enpar's DesEL system should recover greater than 90 per cent of the water. In countries such as Singapore, where affordable water is in limited supply, recycling and reuse are becoming important management tools."

SUI has purchased two DesEL units for testing. Both parties understand that a successful test program shall lead to a business relationship that explores water opportunities in Singapore and other regions of Asia. A non-disclosure agreement between Enpar and SUI has been signed.

It is reported that recycled water will meet a third of its water supply needs by 2011. Historically, Singapore has imported much of its water from neighbouring Malaysia, but is currently moving toward self-sufficiency through the opening of a series of recycled water plants. Last month, Singapore opened its fourth and largest recycled water plant, which can produce up to 32 million gallons of recycled water daily. With the addition of the new plant, it is reported that Singapore now meets up to 15 per cent of its water supply needs with recycled water.

According to market reports the global industrial water recycling and reuse equipment market is expected to expand tremendously in the near future. With increasing water costs, as well as strict regulations regarding waste disposal and resource consumption, a convincing economic business case for industrial water recycling and reuse is likely to emerge.

Enpar receives repeat order from Swiss distributor

2007-04-25 08:18 MT - News Release

Dr. Gene Shelp reports

SWISS DISTRIBUTOR PURCHASES ADDITIONAL WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM

Enpar Technologies Inc.'s Swiss distributor, Aqua & Terra, has purchased a specialized system for remediating drinking water sources that are contaminated with nitrate.

Dr. Shelp, president and chief executive officer for Enpar, stated: "We are greatly encouraged by the repeat business from Aqua & Terra, which speaks to the quality and performance of our products. Limited drinking water resources in many areas of the world are often prone to nitrate contamination from agricultural operations. Our leading-edge water treatment system can target specific contaminants such as nitrate."

It is reported that 40 per cent of groundwater in Europe is already seriously polluted with nitrate, In Germany for example, nitrate can be several times higher than the allowable 50-milligram-per-litre limit in areas of intensive animal farming.

"The European market is large and offers tremendous opportunity for Enpar and its distributors," said Dr. Shelp.

Within the human body, nitrates are converted into poisonous nitrites, which increase the risk of cancer and can lead to methemoglobinemia, or blue baby syndrome. Nitrates are also responsible for overfertilization of water streams, lakes and seas, resulting in oxygen-deficient ecosystems.

Enpar reviews DesEL test results

2006-11-20 11:38 ET - News Release

Dr. Gene Shelp reports

SUCCESSFUL LABORATORY TESTING OF ARSENIC-CONTAMINATED WATER FROM ABANDONED MINE

Enpar Technologies Inc. has released the results from laboratory testing, under contract with the Department of Indian and Northern Development (DIAND), of the DesEL system. The technology is extremely effective in remediating arsenic-contaminated water from an abandoned mine in the Northwest Territories.

In the late 1990s, DIAND assumed ownership of several abandoned mines, some of which have issues related to arsenic in water.

Dr. Gene Shelp, president of Enpar Technologies, says that single-stage treatment removes 99.5 per cent of the arsenic, from a high of 2.6 parts per million to a low of 0.01 part per million. Two-stage treatment further reduces the arsenic to half that level.

Also, the DesEL system is highly effective in removing both As(III) and As(V), eliminating the requirement for oxidative pretreatment, and recovers up to 99 per cent of the water with a power requirement of only 0.7 kilowatt hour or approximately six cents per cubic metre of water treated.

Enpar anticipates that the project will proceed to phase II -- on-site pilot scale testing. A decision is expected in the immediate future. Shareholders will be appraised as subsequent events unfold.

The DIAND study is the third of its kind, and supports Enpar's contention that the DesEL system is cost-effective and superior to other methods for remediating arsenic-contaminated drinking water and waste water.

Enpar and its management clearly believe that the DesEL system will yield many arsenic-related contracts worldwide.

Enpar wants DesEL as home water treatment option

2006-06-06 10:01 ET - News Release

Dr. Gene Shelp reports

MAJOR AMERICAN WATER COMPANY EVALUATES ENPAR'S DESEL SYSTEM FOR HOME MARKET

Enpar Technologies Inc. continues to attract the attention of some of the key players in the global water-treatment market. In May, 2006, Enpar entered into a mutual confidentiality agreement with a major American water company for the sole purpose of evaluating a possible business transaction relating to Enpar's DesEL technology as a replacement for conventional home water-treatment systems such as reverse osmosis units and water softeners.

Based on published information, the home market is currently reported to be $15-billion (U.S.) annually with the market predicted to reach approximately $45-billion by the year 2011.

Testing of Enpar's DesEL-400 unit has been under way during the past three weeks at the American company's facility. Enpar is extremely excited about this relationship as the American company recently reported that the initial performance of the system is impressive and the possibilities for the DesEL technology are exciting. Over the next five months, the American company will complete its technical evaluation of the technology, including scalability and long term viability, and develop a business case that will include that evaluation, as well as marketing and financial analysis of the pathway to market.

In summary, the American company informed Enpar that it has a positive feeling about Enpar's technology and the potential that a relationship could provide both companies. However, please note that there is no guarantee at this time that positive testing and a positive market and financial analysis will result in a business relationship.

The DesEL System is a proven alternative to conventional water-treatment systems for removing both dissolved contaminants such as arsenic, mercury and nitrate, and other dissolved ions from industrial waste water, process water and drinking water sources. As a home product the DesEL system would replace both the reverse osmosis unit and the water softener.

"Optimization of the ExtrEL leaching process is scheduled to begin in June, 2006, with completion expected three months later. These results will form the basis for design of a pilot unit for relatively large-scale testing."

Expecting news on this soon, also who are they getting the tailings from? Who will they work with for a pilot plant?

The company plans to proceed through pilot testing to a commercial plant within the next 18 months.

Enpar contracted to remedy arsenic-contaminated water

2006-09-27 09:45 ET - News Release

Dr. Gene Shelp reports

ENPAR OBTAINS CONTRACT FOR REMEDIATION OF ARSENIC-CONTAMINATED WATER FROM ABANDONED MINE

Enpar Technologies Inc. has entered into a service contract with the Department of Indian and Northern Development (DIAND) to complete phase one laboratory testing of the DesEL system to remediate arsenic-contaminated water from an abandoned mine.

In the late 1990s, DIAND assumed ownership of several abandoned mines, some of which have issues related to arsenic in water. Enpar hopes to become the company of choice to treat all these sites.

Phase one will continue for two months and culminate in a report that describes the results and provides an overview of a full-scale water-treatment plant, as well as in a presentation to a technical advisory committee in Ottawa in early November.

Following a successful phase one, management anticipates that follow-up phase two on-site pilot testing will occur at a DIAND-owned mine site, and that a successful phase two will result in a commercial full-scale installation.

Enpar believes that its DesEL system is cost-effective and superior to any other known treatment for arsenic-contaminated water, and has the potential to yield many contracts for the remediation of arsenic-contaminated water at mine sites around the world.

As previously reported (see news in Stockwatch on Feb. 1, 2006), research conducted by Dr. Sofia Garrido of the Instituto Mexicano de Tecnologia del Agua (IMTA), a research arm of the Mexican federal government, demonstrated that the DesEL system is extremely effective for treating groundwater containing arsenic.

That success was confirmed in April, 2006, during an independent third party evaluation process conducted by Dr. F. Bilek of Grundwasserforschungsinstitut GmbH Dresden, of Dresden, Germany.

Dr. Bilek reported that the DesEL system reduces arsenic in surface waters from an initial concentration of 450 parts per billion to less than 10 parts per billion (low analytical detection limit), which corresponds to greater than 98-per-cent removal of arsenic. The continuing independent study is testing the effectiveness of the DesEL system to treat various waste waters.

Enpar gets U.S. patent for waste-water treatment

2006-10-25 09:57 ET - News Release

Dr. Gene Shelp reports

ENPAR AWARDED UNITED STATES PATENT FOR ITS AMMONIA TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY

Enpar Technologies Inc. has received the latest in a series of anticipated patents for its AmmEL system. This United States patent is expected to be followed closely by a successful patent application in Canada.

Enpar's management believes that its AmmEL system is currently the best-known technology for the treatment of ammonia in municipal and industrial waste waters. Ammonia is a recognized toxin that is directly converted to environmentally friendly nitrogen gas by the AmmEL system. Management believes that the AmmEL system has worldwide applications in markets that represent billions of dollars annually.

The majority of competing biological technologies in Canada convert ammonia to nitrate, a human carcinogen, which is then dumped into freshwater systems, creating a potential health risk.

The current patent is for improvements made to the company's U.S. and Canadian patents that were awarded on July 4, 2000, and December, 2005, respectively.

Applications of the technology

The improvements broaden the applications of the technology, which now include treatment of solutions resulting from dewatering of sludge or biosolids and containing extremely high levels of ammonia (500 to 1,500 parts per million), as well as tertiary treatment of solutions containing relatively low levels of ammonia (10 to 50 parts per million).

The AmmEL-HC system

The handling of sludge produced from municipal waste water treatment represents a major challenge for all levels of government. To develop a biosolid product that is free of environmental concerns, and can either be applied directly to the land or burned as an energy source, water must be removed from the sludge and the accompanying toxic levels of ammonia should be treated.

The AmmEL-HC system enables municipalities to achieve year-round compliance with government-mandated environmental standards and regulations.

The AmmEL-LC system

The alternative design, the AmmEL-LC system, is effective as a final treatment step before discharge to the environment of waters containing relatively low levels of ammonia that still exceed the recommended environmental guideline. This design can be directly applied to conventional waste water treatment facilities as well as lagoon-type waste water treatment facilities. Lagoon facilities are generally incapable of properly treating ammonia and subsequently release nitrate into receiving water bodies. The AmmEL-LC system has been successfully tested at the city of Guelph waste water treatment facility and at the Regional Municipality of Niagara's Garner Rd. biosolids handling site.

Management believes that the AmmEL-LC system has application to the approximately 1,000 lagoon facilities found in Canada alone. Similar numerous opportunities are known to exist globally. In northern regions, lagoons appear to be the system of choice, and the effects of nitrate pollution can be long lived. However, Enpar's AmmEL-LC system remains highly effective even under near-freezing conditions.

Enpar is currently in preliminary discussions with a leading international water treatment services company about a strategic alliance to exploit Enpar's AmmEL system. Shareholders will be kept informed of future developments on a timely basis.

The company continues to have continuing negotiations with other major companies in the water products industry.

Enpar's ExtrEL recovers up to 77% Ni from mine tailings

2006-05-25 09:59 ET - News Release

Dr. Gene Shelp reports

EXTREL REPRESENTS ECONOMIC SOLUTION FOR NICKEL RECOVERY FROM MINE TAILINGS

Enpar Technologies Inc.'s additional testing of its ExtrEL leaching technology conducted on nickel mine tailings during the past four months has confirmed its earlier findings. The testing resulted in nickel recovery ranging from 58 per cent to 77 per cent. The company is extremely excited that it can now duplicate the results on demand.

Enpar initially reported in December that leaching of up to 77 per cent of the nickel contained in samples of nickel mine tailings grading up to 1.2 per cent Ni was obtained while employing its ExtrEL technology.

Optimization of the ExtrEL leaching process is scheduled to begin in June, 2006, with completion expected three months later. These results will form the basis for design of a pilot unit for relatively large-scale testing.

Based on testing results to date, the predominant operating cost is power, which at 38 cents per kilogram of nickel metal recovered is considered to be quite low.

The company plans to proceed through pilot testing to a commercial plant within the next 18 months. Preliminary cost modelling suggests that the capital cost of the equipment would be recovered within one to 1.5 years. However, the company cautions that additional testing is required before firm conclusions can be made about the potential commercialization of this process.

The ability to recover nickel from what is currently perceived as a waste material represents an enormous financial opportunity for Enpar, its shareholders and the mining industry.

In addition, the ExtrEL leaching technology may become a primary hydrometallurgical treatment method for the traditional concentrate from the mill floatation circuit.

Once proven on a commercial scale, the ExtrEL leaching technology could potentially be used as an alternative to conventional smelting facilities which require considerable capital and represent major environmental concerns.

This would enable both large and small mining companies to process the ore concentrate on-site and ship metal for refining, instead of shipping ore for primary processing.

Opportunities for Enpar

According to published information, the company estimates that there are hundreds of millions of tonnes of mill sulphide tailings containing potentially economic grades of nickel in Australia, Canada, Russia and several African nations.

For example, at the Leinster, Kambalda and Mt. Keith mines in Western Australia, there is reportedly a resource totalling 162.7 million tonnes of tailings, containing approximately 500,000 tonnes of nickel metal. These sulphide tailings are apparently similar in mineralogy to those tested by Enpar, making them ideal for treatment using the ExtrEL leaching technology.

Given today's nickel price of $20.81 (U.S.) per kilogram, the in situ value of the nickel sulphide tailings at these sites is estimated at greater than $11-billion (U.S.). Furthermore, it is estimated that an additional 522,000 tonnes of nickel will be discarded as nickel sulphide tailings throughout the remaining life at the referenced sites.

Using Enpar's ExtrEL leaching technology, the recoverable nickel from the tailings at the aforementioned sites could potentially reach 401,400 tonnes of nickel metal with a market value of approximately $8.4-billion (U.S.).
