Formation Fluid Announces First Profitable Quarter Due to Successful Major Contract Completion
  
 

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Dec 5, 2013) - Formation Fluid Management Inc. (TSX-VENTURE:FFM) ("Formation Fluid" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its September 30, 2013 quarterly financial statements reported an operating profit in excess of $1.37 million on revenues of $2.55 million. The Company's full financial statements and management discussion and analysis are available online at SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The revenues were generated by its operating subsidiary Formation Fluid Technology Inc.'s ("FFT") completing its contract with a major oil company to provide an extensive water remediation project in the Zama area of north-western Alberta. The project ran 24 hours per day for 105 days and the Company's water processing plant performed extremely well, exceeding both the customer's requirements and all environmental regulatory requirements necessary to allow for surface runoff.

"I had the opportunity to work with a number of the Formation Fluids Technology (FFT) personnel on a large scale project this past summer. Prior to arrival onsite we were provided with the necessary set up requirements to allow for a quick set up. The onsite operators were able to run the reverse osmosis (RO) 24 hours a day for months very smoothly," said Grant Stecyk, North Shore Environmental Consultants. "We were able to treat a large volume of saline water and release it back into the ecosystem, the project was an overall success largely in part to the smooth operation and performance of the RO unit provided by FFT. The staff were knowledgeable and could help provide feedback to ensure we utilized the full potential of the RO unit and reached our goals. I had a very positive experience working with FFT personnel and equipment and would use them again in the future."

"This project has provided a showcase for our technology to both the industry and environmental regulatory bodies on a major project," said Ken Rose, CEO of FFM. "Our customer is very pleased with our performance and we are currently in negotiations with them to return to continue the project, commencing in 2014 after the spring break-up."
