=== Powerwave ===

In the energy sector, Wavefront Technology Solutions Inc. has patented the Power Pulse Technology as "Powerwave." This process has been field-tested and proven to increase the amount of oil recovered from [[on shore]] oil wells, including low-producing or even abandoned fields.<ref name=Revenue>[http://www.canada.com/edmontonjournal/columnists/story.html?id=9732b369-39db-428b-ac25-01b8d5fc15cb&k=76064 Wavefront ready to flow revenue]</ref>

Powerwave utilizes this technology to improve the flow of water through [[geological]] materials, including [[sedimentary]] soils and fractured rock. These materials are composed of a solid [[Matrix (geology)|matrix]] and pore structure, which contain fluids such as gas and oil.<ref name=Shudder/>

In the ten-plus years that the technology behind Powerwave has been developed by Wavefront Technologies and Environmental Services, it has evolved from a product that cost nearly $1 to make and had to be transported using twotractortwo tractor-trailerss to one that can be shipped via [[courier]].<ref name=Shudder/> The Powerwave tool now is only one meter high and eight centimeterscentimetres in diameter. Wavefront Technology Solutions Inc. leases the product to oil companies and charges around $3,000 a month for a minimum 12-month period.<ref name=Shudder/>

Powerwave's ability to improve uniformity in oil wells has translated to higher production rates, extending the life of a field, and enhancing its value.<ref name=Revenue/> In Texas, one recent field trial raised production rates from eight wells by 26%. A similar project in Alberta, Canada initially raised output by 18%.<ref name=Revenue/>
