Ivanhoe Energy Produces High Quality Upgraded Heavy-Oil Product with Novel Process Design Tuesday March 13, 8:11 am ET
BAKERSFIELD, CA, March 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Ivanhoe Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: IVAN and TSX: IE), has successfully produced a "High Quality" product at its heavy oil upgrading (HTL) Commercial Demonstration Facility (CDF) in California. This High Quality upgraded oil was produced using an innovative operating method based on a simple, once-through configuration. This innovative operating mode represents an additional processing option for Ivanhoe Energy, and is appropriate for a number of key identified market opportunities, including bitumen production in the Athabasca Oil Sands of Western Canada. ADVERTISEMENT
This new approach significantly extends the flexibility of Ivanhoe Energy's HTL technology and can improve the economics in certain field applications where a significant amount of by-product energy is required. Operated on its own, the new configuration, compared with other High Quality processing configurations, will allow for the production of a higher quality product together with higher amounts of by-product energy. Operated in conjunction with other configurations, this new process allows Ivanhoe Energy to better tailor its HTL plant design configurations to market opportunities. In addition to Ivanhoe Energy's current patent protection and new patent claims that have been applied for, a patent application has been filed for this new process design.
The upgraded oil produced in this configuration has a viscosity reduction of over 99%, and had other characteristics superior to upgraded product produced in previous test runs. In addition, this configuration allows for the production of higher amounts of by-product energy than in previously demonstrated configurations, offset by slightly lower liquid volume yields. Third-party analysis of product samples from the 26-hour run announced in February confirmed the product characteristics of this configuration. Since then, a 31-hour run at the CDF has validated the mechanical stability of this processing method.
"This design, which has been the result of substantial effort, represents an attractive processing alternative for specific, identified opportunities in Western Canada and elsewhere," said Joe Gasca, Ivanhoe Energy's President and CEO. "Together with processing configurations already demonstrated, this approach provides Ivanhoe Energy with enhanced flexibility in designing our facilities to match specific market requirements."
Dr. Robert Graham, Ivanhoe Energy's Chief Technology Officer said, "This new configuration enhances the potential of our HTL process by adapting and integrating readily available, proven equipment with our simplest operating mode. This addition to our portfolio of processing techniques is further evidence of the broad flexibility and powerful scope of our core HTL technology."
Ivanhoe Energy's proprietary, patented heavy oil upgrading technology (HTL) upgrades the quality of heavy oil and bitumen by producing lighter, more valuable crude oil at lower costs and in smaller-sized plants than conventional technologies. The process also produces by-product energy that can be used to generate steam or electricity.
Conference Call
Ivanhoe Energy will host a conference call tomorrow, Wednesday, March 14, 2007, for investors and analysts at 4:30 p.m. EDT (1:30 p.m. PDT) to discuss recent announcements along with 2006 fourth quarter results and operations. The conference call may be accessed by dialing 1-866-540-8136 in Canada and the United States, or 1-416-340-8010 in the Toronto area and internationally. A simultaneous webcast of the conference call will be provided through www.ivanhoeenergy.com and www.newswire.ca/webcast. If you are unable to participate in the call it will be archived for later playback by dialing 1-416-695-5800 and entering the pass code 3215469 followed by the number sign, or via www.ivanhoeenergy.com.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: This document includes forward-looking statements, including forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the potential benefits of Ivanhoe Energy's heavy oil upgrading technology, the potential for commercialization and future application of the heavy oil upgrading technology, potential advancements to the technology and other statements which are not historical facts. When used in this document, the words such as "could," "plan," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "potential," "should," and similar expressions relating to matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Although Ivanhoe Energy believes that its expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve risks and uncertainties and no assurance can be given that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements include the potential that the HTL test facility may experience technical and mechanical difficulties, the HTL process to upgrade heavy oil and bitumen may not be commercially viable, patent applications may not be approved as submitted or at all, competition and other risks disclosed in Ivanhoe Energy's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on EDGAR and the Canadian Securities Commissions on SEDAR.
[..] Ivanhoe Energy Inc. has successfully completed its key Athabasca bitumen test run at Ivanhoe Energy's Commercial Demonstration Facility (CDF) in California using its proprietary heavy oil upgrading technology (HTL(TM)). This test was an important step for Ivanhoe Energy's business development activities, as well as for the design of full-scale HTL facilities. This run represents the culmination of the CDF testing program carried out over the last two years. "This successful Athabasca bitumen test is an important milestone for Ivanhoe Energy as we advance our commercial discussions in Western Canada," said Joe Gasca, Ivanhoe Energy's President and CEO. "The HTL process incorporates numerous advantages over conventional producing and upgrading approaches for heavy oil, and in Athabasca, all of our key benefits come into play: virtual elimination of viscosity, generation of significant amounts of on-site energy, and the capture of heavy-light price differentials, all in smaller-sized plants than conventional technologies." [..]
The price responded accordingly today, with a 11.8 % jump on fairly heavy volume.
I listened to the conference call released today.. nothing spectacular - no mention of contracts or anything like that. One extra piece of information was that they will be building a processing plant in Canada, in the Athabasca sands region. Conoco gave them the bitumen for the tests; apparently they are non-exclusively licensing the technology from Ivanhoe.
The company has 241,364,000 shares outstanding, which translates to a market value of $480,314,360 ... is that anywhere near what IVAN is actually worth? Their financials keep showing an operating loss year-in, year-out.
There seem to be a few institutions and funds long this stock, though the largest position is about 1.2M shares.. some 5M altogether.. 2.2% of outstanding. Couldn't find any info on size of the float though. Nor any recent insider transactions.
Putting this one on the watchlist.. My machine tells me 1.88 is nearest support, 1.98 is resistance just now breached, and next resistance is 2.10
We will see what the tape says tomorrow. If there's volume, it could be interesting.

I like the price action over the last few days -- up days have much stronger volume than down days. That's always a good sign.
On their website (http://www.ivanhoe-energy.com) they've released a marketing video about the Heavy Oil Upgrading process (HTL).
Seeing how they've successfully tested their technology on Alberta's bitumen sands, it is conceivable they will now be attempting to secure contracts with "resource owners".
Oil has been bullish as of late, and these guys hold a key processing technology. IVAN is a good swing stock, but it also may end up being a decent investment. I'm keeping my eye on it.
