Optimal Data Analysis Announces 3-Year Study of 155 Natural Gas Wells that Proves Increased Well Productivity with Ozonix®
November 20, 2014
Dear Shareholder,
Brisben Water is pleased to announce the release of a technical report titled “Statistical and “Bottom Line” Comparisons of Gas Production Yielded by using the Patented Brisben Water Ozonix® Technology Versus Chemical Biocide for the Hydraulic Fracturing of Natural Gas Wells”. The report focuses on an extensive 3-year study, which compares the magnitude of gas production yielded by two distinctly different methods currently being implemented for treating water to control bacteria, scale, microbiologically induced corrosion, and biofilms associated with the hydraulic fracturing process of natural gas wells.
The study of 155 natural gas wells, prepared by Optimal Data Analysis, LLC (Authors: Paul R. Yarnold, Ph.D, Jamar Blackmon, Ph.D. and Parag Gogate, Ph.D.), assessed the comparative efficacy of water treatment methods for 96 wells treated using Brisben Water Technologies’ patented Ozonix® technology versus 59 wells treated using liquid Chemical Biocide in the Fayetteville Shale of Arkansas.
Findings established that the use of Brisben Water’s patented Ozonix® technology in water treatment for the hydraulic fracturing of natural gas wells resulted in broadly greater productivity than liquid Chemical Biocide treatment, significantly greater overall gas production achieved in the first two months of post-fracturing operations, and consistently greater gas production and monetary returns across all 12 months of post-fracturing operations.
Specifically, as compared with Chemical Biocide water treatment methods and based on the current market price of gas, the use of Brisben Water’s patented Ozonix® technology returns $24.9 million in incremental revenue per year for 100 gas wells, $124.8 million in additional revenue per year for 500 gas wells, and $249.7 million in additional revenue per year for 1,000 gas wells.

Authors
Paul R. Yarnold, Ph.D.
Optimal Data Analysis, LLC
Dr. Paul Yarnold received his Ph.D. in academic social psychology at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1984, and joined the faculty of Northwestern University Medical School (Internal Medicine) and the University of Illinois at Chicago (Psychology). Paul remained working there (primarily in the Departments of Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Surgery, Psychiatry, Emergency Medicine, Infectious Disease, Pharmacy, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Geriatrics, Comparative/Translational, Cancer, and Allergy/Immunology) until 2010, when as Research Professor of Medicine, and Professor of Psychology, he left to become an entrepreneurial scientist. During his tenure he was elected as a Fellow of the Society of Behavioral Medicine, and Fellow of Divisions 5 (Measurement, Evaluation, and Statistics) and 38 (Health Psychology) of the American Psychological Association. Paul remains on the editorial boards of Perceptual and Motor Skills (Consulting Editor), and Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (staff statistics reviewer), and in 2011 he founded the e-Journal Optimal Data Analysis. Paul co-discovered the Optimal Data Analysis paradigm; published more than 300 journal articles on a myriad of topics largely in the areas of statistics, medicine and psychology; authored three best-selling statistics books and more than a dozen software systems; obtained more than $16M in grant awards; and earned several patents. His H-index is 49, and his work has been cited in more than 11,400 publications.
Jamar Blackmon, Ph.D.
Fidelity National Environmental Solutions, LLC
Dr. Jamar Blackmon completed his B.S. in Computer Engineering, M.S. in General Engineering and Ph.D. in General Engineering from University of Arkansas, located in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The main research interests of Jamar include Artificial Intelligence, Water and Wastewater treatment, Design and implementation of Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) for Water and Wastewater Treatment, Water Compatibility and increased Efficiency with Oil and Gas Chemicals using AOP’s for Water and Wastewater Treatment. After completing his M.S. studies in 2006 Jamar entered the Oil and Gas industry as an engineer for BJ Services, where through the years he designed and oversaw several completions operations, including: Fracturing, Cementing, Acidizing, and Coiled tubing. Jamar has an extensive knowledge of chemicals used in the Oil and Gas completions process and his research has proven that many of those chemicals can be replaced using AOP processes for water and wastewater treatment. In 2010 Jamar left BJ Services to join the Fidelity National Environmental Solutions (FNES) team, where he is currently employed. He serves as Manager of Operations and Engineering for FNES.
