HOW DID WISER OIL BEGIN?

Wiser Oil was formed in 2004 and registered in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, conducting off- shore operations, servicing the GCC.

Wiser oil is an environmentally conscious oil company focusing on environmental oil treatment solutions. Wiser Oil conducts research and technology projects with outsourcing on heavy oils and emulsions.

Wiser oil is planning to implement a residual oil treatment unit that aids in segregation of oil components in the area of Ras Al Khaimah, UAE.

Wiser oil has signed an agreement with G Force of the Netherlands in September 2005 in order to lay out a residual heavy oil treatment plant according to the highest international environmental standards.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is important to world energy markets because it contains 98 billion barrels, or nearly 10 percent, of the world's proven oil reserves. The UAE also holds the world's fifth-largest natural gas reserves and exports significant amounts of liquefied natural gas.

According to Oil and Gas Journal (1/1/05), the UAE contains proven crude oil reserves of 97.8 billion barrels, or slightly less than 8 percent of the world total. Abu Dhabi holds 94 percent of this amount, or about 92.2 billion barrels. Dubai contains an estimated 4.0 billion barrels, followed by Sharjah and Ras al-Khaimah, with 1.5 billion and 100 million barrels of oil, respectively.

The majority of the UAE's crude oil is considered light, with gravities in the 32o to 44o API range. Abu Dhabi's Murban 39o and Dubai's Fateh 32o blends are the UAE's primary export crude streams, though Dubai's production is been falling in recent years due to the decline of its modest reserves. Most of the UAE's oil fields have been producing since the 1960s or early 1970s. Proven oil reserves in Abu Dhabi have roughly doubled in the last decade, mainly due to significant increases in rates of recovery. Abu Dhabi has continued to identify new finds, especially offshore, and to discover new oil-rich structures in existing fields.

The UAE is a member of OPEC as well as other petroleum and petrochemical world organizations.

Shell, Elf, Total and Agip are all present, with multi-billion dollar investments in oilfield exploration, drilling, and services.

Its geographical presence stretches along the Persian Gulf from the south, and along the Caspian Sea form the north which gives it a powerful strategic gateway for oil transportation from and to many countries in the region.

WHY THE LOCATION OF RAS AL KHAIMAH?

RAS AL KHAIMAH'S PROXIMITY TO THE PORT OF FUJAIRAH AND ITS SEA PORT, MINA SAQR

Fujairah, enjoys a unique position on the Gulf of Oman, adjacent to the Strait of Hormuz, on the Eastern flank of the Arabian Peninsula, is regarded as the Eastern Gate of the UAE. Fujairah's coasts extend 90 kms, along the Gulf of Oman which accords a strategic importance to this Emirate being the only one located on the Gulf of Oman rather than the Arabian Gulf, where the waters are much deeper than that of the Arabian Gulf, making it an important port for container liners and tanker vessels. The Port of Fujairah is one the best seaports in the Middle East and the No. 3 in the Gulf in container handling. According to the latest statistics, the port rated No.33 globally in container handling.

Mina Saqr, located next to the town of Ras Al Khaimah, is a deepwater port with heavily utilised bulk handling facilities where a major amount of transhipment takes place. It can handle vessels up to 260 metres long and 11.5 metres maximum draught and is ideal for low cost general cargo and container handling.

In 2001 a 20yr exclusive contract was signed for the supply of heavy oil on a large scale in 2 sectors: off-shore and on-shore.

Dealing in the supply and trade of crude oil derivatives and other petroleum derivatives, focusing on emulsion oils and heavy oils. Crude oil Heavy oils or Emulsion Oil is considered to be a Petroleum Crude waste or slop. Its physical appearance depends on the density, viscosity and pour point of the slop. It has a high water and sediment content. These heavy oils are gathered from different locations off-shore (vessels, barges off-shore refineries tanks etc.) as well as in-shore (well residues, left pits and refineries) which at a later stage are discharged in an open pit. These pits are then burned! Due to the high gas and acid content within the heavy oils, after burning, vapors of H2S, CO2, CH4 and others invade the atmosphere resulting in severe damage to the environment.

Products Made from a Barrel of Crude Oil Products

Note: The gain from processing is about 5%.

After crude oil is removed from the ground, it is sent to a refinery by pipeline, ship or barge.  At a refinery, different parts of the crude oil are separated into useable petroleum products.  Crude oil is measured in barrels (abbreviated "bbls").  A 42-U.S. gallon barrel of crude oil provides slightly more than 44 gallons of petroleum products.  This gain from processing the crude oil is similar to what happens to popcorn, it gets bigger after it is popped.

Oily Waste Separation Systems provide benefit to clients seeking an environmentally sound Waste Management Program. This is to comply with the standard practices of the Environmental 3R's - Reduce, Recycle, Re-use. G-force treated oily waste is:

These wastes are identified from drilling, production and completion fluids, operations fuel oils and diesel oils, produced water, crude oil refinery & transport vessels heavy oils and sludges, refinery emulsions, API separator sludges, tank bottom sediments, stored oil waste pits, polluted soils, ships heavy oils, bildge water, dirty lube oils and the like. G-force separation systems are either fixed or portable installations to be found on drilling rigs, production facilities, crude oil gathering stations, crude oil refineries, waste plants servicing land base and marine port reception facilities, tank farms, oily waste dump sites and oil polluted soil sites.

Wiser Oil started Heavy oil collection activities in February 1997. Our major activities were initially carried out off-shore. Since that period, our operations have given us the experience to develop several handling techniques in the fields of production, collection, storing, handling, treating as well as marketing and logistics.

In this short period, Wiser Oil has managed to build its own loading terminal (Jetty) in the Persian Gulf for its heavy oil transfer process utility; including pipelines that can carry the oil continuously 24/7. Along with having managed to engage its facilities in several offshore operations.

In 1999, Wiser Oil became one of the largest bulk heavy oil suppliers in the Persian Gulf and are able to play the key role of a prime supplier in the region. Succeeding in the collection of heavy oils in off-shore refineries, and other categories of heavy oil available in storage tanks. Wiser Oil has its own heavy oil reserves stored in open pits available in several off-shore locations, which remain in pit until adequate levels are reached to facilitate export.

Wiser Oil has previous dealings with several multi national companies including the supply of raw materials such as heavy oil, base oil, fuel oil, gas oil and other oil derivatives. The main markets of supply and shipping are Fujairah, Singapore, China and some parts of Africa.

Wiser Oil has a number of vessels, tankers the total DWT of 24,622 metric tones. The Wiser Fleet operates in the Persian Gulf and India.

AT PRESENT

Wiser Oil exports the majority of the off grade heavy oil productions available in the Persian Gulf region. Concentrating mainly on off-shore heavy oil collection operations, in the preceding few years.

Further development of the off-shore operations will enable Wiser Oil to conduct sludge removal from crude carriers, tankers and other storage facilities.

2.WISER OILS MAIN OBJECTIVES

3. Crude Oil also referred to as Petroleum (from Greek petra - rock and elaion - oil or Latin oleum - oil ),Crude oil, sometimes colloquially called black gold or "Texas Tea", is a thick, dark brown or greenish liquid. Petroleum exists in the upper strata of some areas of the Earth's crust. It consists of a complex mixture of various hydrocarbons, largely of the alkane series, but may vary much in appearance, composition, and purity. Petroleum is used mostly, by volume, for producing fuel oil, which is an important "primary energy" source (IEA Key World Energy Statistics). Petroleum is also the raw material for many chemical products, including solvents, fertilizers, pesticides, and plastics.

4. An emulsion is a mixture of two immiscible (unblendable) substances. One substance (the dispersed phase) is dispersed in the other (the continuous phase). Examples of emulsions include butter and margarine, mayonnaise, the photo-sensitive side of film stock, and cutting fluid for metalworking. In butter and margarine, a continuous lipid phase surrounds droplets of water (water-in-oil emulsion). Emulsification is the process by which emulsions are prepared.

A. Two immisicble liquids, not emulsified; B. An emulsion of Phase B dispersed in Phase A; C. The unstable emulsion progressively separates; D. The (purple) surfactant positions itself on the interfaces between Phase A and Phase B, stabilizing the emulsion

Emulsions tend to have a cloudy appearance, because the many phase interfaces (the boundary between oil and water is called the interface) scatter light that passes through the emulsion. Emulsions can be stable or unstable. Homemade oil and vinegar salad dressing is an unstable emulsion that will quickly separate unless shaken continuously. This phenomenon is called coalescence, and happens when small droplets recombine to form bigger ones. Fluid emulsions can also suffer from creaming, the migration of one of the substances to the top of the emulsion under the influence of buoyancy or centripetal force when a centrifuge is used.
Emulsions are part of a more general class of two-phase systems of matter called colloids. Although the terms colloid and emulsion are sometimes used interchangeably, emulsion tends to imply that both the dispersed and the continuous phase are liquid.

5. Heavy oil: oil/water/sediment, and emulsions contained in slop tanks or designated cargo tanks. The mixture usually results from tank stripping, tank washing, or dirty ballast phase separation. Heavy oil oil stored for years in ponds and tanks is an increasing environmental problem. When treated properly, however, this waste can be minimized and the recovered oil sold at a profit.

6. The oil industry classifies "crude" by the location of its origin (e.g., "West Texas Intermediate, WTI" or "Brent") and often by its relative weight (API gravity) or viscosity ("light", "intermediate" or "heavy"); refiners may also refer to it as "sweet", which means it contains relatively little sulfur, or as "sour", which means it contains substantial amounts of sulfur and requires more refining in order to meet current product specifications.

A Wiser Facility

The world reference barrels are:
Brent Blend, comprising 15 oils from fields in the Brent and Ninian systems in the East Shetland Basin of the North Sea. The oil is landed at Sullom Voe terminal in the Shetlands. Oil production from Europe, Africa and Middle Eastern oil flowing West tends to be priced off the price of this oil, which forms a benchmark.
