Glori Energy Inc. announced that it has commenced the nutrient injection phase of AERO implementation at its Coke Field in Wood County, Texas. Glori's patented AERO system, which was developed in collaboration with Statoil of Norway, works by injecting a proprietary mix of nutrients into water drive or waterflood sandstone reservoirs. The nutrients "feed" and stimulate microorganisms living in the reservoir, and their increased activity improves the water sweep and the flow of oil through the reservoir to the wellbore.

AERO technology has been commercially deployed by Glori with various exploration and production clients in the U.S. and Canada and with Petrobras in Brazil. The Coke Field is part of Glori's ongoing strategy to acquire mature producing oil properties that have significant amounts of remaining oil and advantageous characteristics for the AERO System to increase production and recover that residual oil.
