Good morning!
I trust you have had a great summer so far.
The commercial team has been working very hard, and you can expect to hear great updates in the weeks to come...
OriginOil in top ten biofuels brands
Meanwhile, branding counts. And that's just as true in biofuels as anywhere else.
Here's the latest update from the new Biofuels Brand Index, which tracks worldwide brand presence for our industry:
For Q3 to date, Gevo is now in the lead at 24.45, followed by Coskata, Joule Unlimited, BP Biofuels, Codexis, INEOS Bio, KiOR, OriginOil, Valero and Matheson Gas.
That's pretty amazing company, especially when you realize that we're the only pure technology company in the bunch!
Intel Inside™ is an important brand for computers. We're here to make sure Powered By OriginOil™ is, too.
"Brand value counts more than ever"
Jim Lane's Biofuels Digest recently launched the Biofuels Brand Index.
This is what he has to say:
With companies now embarking on first commercial projects – that means big capital raises and attracting customers,” noted Digest editor Jim Lane. “Brand value now counts more than ever –and we intend to measure brand visibility and credibility, looking not only at the stories in which brands appear, but at reader engagement with those stories.
We'll keep working hard to keep the OriginOil brand highly visible. Look for more major news that sustains our brand.
New in-depth article
We get so many stories that it's easy to overlook the ones where we really explain our technology. Altenergymag.com did a great job in this article.
Here's one quote from the article which you will hear much more about in the weeks and months to come:
We also see growing momentum in Japan, due to the problems there with nuclear and with toxins. Algae production both remediates toxins and produces fuel and chemicals. We expect to see a great deal of activity from Japan.
Japan is indeed very serious about algae. As we say, stay tuned...
Have a great week!

OriginOil Launches Oil and Gas Division, Appoints Former President of Exxon Arabian Gulf as Industry Advisor Company’s new business unit to aggressively market its high-flow, chemical-free frack water cleanup technology
Los Angeles, California – July 19, 2012 – OriginOil, Inc. (OTCBB: OOIL), developer of the high-speed way to harvest algae and clean up frack water, announced today the formation of a dedicated business unit to aggressively market its continuous-flow, high efficiency and chemical-free technology for frack water cleanup and petroleum recovery. The company has named Dr. R. Gerald Bailey, former President of Exxon (NYSE:XOM), Arabian Gulf, Abu Dhabi and UAE, as Industry Advisor to this unit, while veteran former Dow Chemical (NYSE:DOW) manager Bill Charneski will head the unit as its General Manager.
“We are delighted that Dr. Bailey has agreed to join us auos industry advisor,” said Riggs Eckelberry, OriginOil CEO. “He brings a vast network of relationships and credibility to our venture. As General Manager with P&L responsibility, Bill Charneski will focus on achieving rapid technical and commercial milestones. I’m confident this team will quickly get us commercial success in this fast-moving sector.”
“I was able recently to observe OriginOil’s lab-scale frac flowback water treatment process,” said Dr. Bailey. “The process is quite an achievement and has so much potential. I am looking forward to helping get this process into wide use in the oil and gas industry as a highly portable, high-flow and chemical-free way to maximize oil recovery and re-use the huge amounts of water used in oil exploration today.”
(Photos: In June, Dr. Bailey reviewed OriginOil’s frac flowback recovery and reuse process.)
Hydraulic fracturing, commonly referred to as fracking, is one of the most transformative technologies of today’s economy. It allows the energy industry to cost-effectively access deep underground oil and gas reserves to power an energy-hungry world. The dark side of this revolution is that vast amounts of water are continuously used, extracted and contaminated in fracking and production processes.
According to Global Water Intelligence, “the oil industry produces around 2.5 times more water than oil. By 2025 it will be producing five times more water than oil. Handling produced water is a tremendous growth market, but the real opportunity is in treatment.” With daily world oil production approaching 90 million barrels, this implies a potential market for disposal and treatment of at least $500 billion because energy companies pay between $3 and $12 to process each barrel of produced water, as reported by Greentech Media.
Bringing decades of experience in the petroleum industry, Dr. Bailey has served in engineering, management, and senior executive positions around the world. As President of Exxon, Arabian Gulf, Abu Dhabi, and UAE, he was responsible for the coordination of all Exxon business interests in the Arabian Gulf. He was a liaison to local governments and served as Director of Abu Dhabi Onshore Oil Company and Exxon Qatar. Prior to that, he served as Assistant General Manager at Abu Dhabi Onshore Oil Company, Operations Manager of Qatar General Petroleum Corp., and Operations Superintendent at Exxon Lago Oil in Aruba.
Dr. Bailey holds a PhD in chemical engineering and is a graduate of the University of Houston. He regularly publishes and presents on both the science and business of oil and gas. Currently, he is Chairman of Bailey Petroleum LLC, a petroleum business development consulting firm and serves at the executive and board levels with several energy industry companies. He serves as CEO of MCW Energy, Inc., a publicly traded petroleum transport and oil sands development company which is currently listed on the Frankfurt Exchange under the symbol MW4 and undergoing a dual-listing process on the TSX.V Exchange.
Bill Charneski spearheaded the development of the oil and gas cleanup application of OriginOil’s proprietary dewatering technology. His long career as a chemical process engineer, plant supervisor and regional sales manager for Dow Chemical (NYSE:DOW) uniquely qualifies him to head the new division. In his previous work, Charneski gained extensive experience with process development and industrial equipment design and manufacturing, as well as a range of cross-functional knowledge and skills regarding marketing, sales, finance, operations, project management, team building, and quality control systems in an industrial environment.

OriginOil Study Concludes Algae Producers Can Make Gasoline and Diesel For as Little as $2.28/Gallon Analysis indicates potential $2.28/gallon cost for algae-blended feedstock using newest growth, harvesting and fuel conversion technologies
Los Angeles, CA – 24 February, 2012 – OriginOil, Inc. (OTC/BB: OOIL), developer of a breakthrough technology to convert algae into renewable crude oil, today announced a new company study indicating for the first time that algae producers worldwide can now make transportation fuels cost-effectively themselves.
The Company’s analysis points to a potential production cost as low as $2.28/gallon ($0.60/Liter) for gasoline or diesel using a blend of algae and waste feedstocks, using the latest growth, harvesting and fuel conversion technologies from OriginOil and other innovators.
“In his recent energy address, President Obama cast an unconditional vote for U.S. energy security using algae to replace up to 17% of our imported oil,” said Riggs Eckelberry, OriginOil’s CEO. “This is no pipe dream: we now know that any algae producer can make gasoline and diesel right at the point of production, and compete with petroleum.
“The Administration’s policy commitment, combined with the U.S. Defense Department’s long-term commitment to include biofuels in its operations, will help bring about the wide adoption of algae-based fuel in this decade,” added Eckelberry.
The company cautions that this is a first look at the impact of these new technologies that is subject to large-scale revision. OriginOil will make the model available to algae producers at no charge for their business planning and intends to solicit private input from the algae industry to improve it continuously.
“Yesterday President Obama spoke about the potential of algae biomass to displace 17% of our current consumption of petroleum”, said OriginOil scientific advisor, Dr. Thomas H. Ulrich, previously an Advisory Scientist at the Department of Energy’s Idaho National Laboratory (INL). “This is not unreasonable given recent improvements in biomass harvesting and collection efficiencies and other technology enhancements being made by companies like OriginOil in partnership with the INL for further developing and validating these technologies.”
OriginOil’s comprehensive model analyzes the entire algae production process at scale, integrating the latest advances in growth, harvesting and fuel conversion. In the lowest-cost scenario, algae harvested using OriginOil’s Algae Appliance™ is blended with waste feedstocks and converted onsite to achieve a modeled production cost of $2.28 per gallon for 0 or diesel. This cost roughly doubles to $5.44/gallon ($1.44/Liter) when using pure algae feedstocks. The model assumes a production footprint of at least 50 hectares (124 acres).
Low cost and ready availability of waste products are behind U.S. plans to implement a blending strategy that includes algae for its high energy content and petrochemical profile. In December 2011, the Defense Logistics Agency announced the single largest purchase of biofuel in US history, using a blend of algae and waste cooking oil.
Dr. Ulrich, a key contributor to developing the Blendable Feedstock Standard in which OriginOil is collaborating with the Department of Energy, went on to say, “The lowering of these costs is the result of integrating harvesting and collection preprocessing strategies that can benefit from the blending of the physical and chemical properties of different combinations of biomass feedstocks and other waste products”.
“What we need now are well funded and coordinated efforts by industry and government to integrate and test the best of these diverse technology enhancements. It is very important to validate these promising technologies at the pilot as well as at the commercial production scales. Government support of such scaled projects is appropriate and critical to our nation’s energy independence,” concluded Ulrich.
In addition to providing local job development and environmental and balance of trade benefits, the domestic production of renewable liquid transport fuels is a strategic focus for U.S defense planning as a method to mitigate the effects of a possible loss of foreign petroleum supplies.

OriginOil Receives Increased Order for Large-Scale Algae Extraction System
New total brings orders to $1 million for the year to date
Los Angeles, CA – August 12, 2011 – OriginOil, Inc. (OOIL), the developer of a breakthrough technology to extract oil from algae and an emerging leader in the global algae oil services industry, today announced it recently received an increased order for a large-scale algae extraction system from MBD Energy, Ltd. (“MBD”), a leading solutions provider in the field of industrial CO2 waste management.
“On May 23, 2011, we announced that we received a firm order for a large-scale extraction system from MBD,” said Riggs Eckelberry, OriginOil CEO. “Recently, MBD increased this order due to changes in configuration, and issued a purchase order on July 29, 2011. The total value of this purchase order is $850,000, of which $297,500, or 35%, was paid on August 5, 2011.”
The second payment for this order, for $425,000 or 50% of the total, will be due within five (5) business days after notification from OOIL to MBD of the availability of the extraction system and a successful inspection and power test. The final payment of $127,500, or 15% of the total, will be due within five (5) business days after the completion of installation and performance acceptance.
In January of this year, OriginOil received an order from MBD totaling $150,000 for a mobile system. At the time, OriginOil received a deposit of 50%, with future payments of 25% respectively for notification of availability, and completion of installation.
The total of these orders represents a backlog of $1 million for the year to date.
The new system on order is one of the largest next-generation extraction systems of its kind in the world. The equipment is expected to process up to 1100 liters (300 gallons) per minute of algae culture continuously, enough to process the daily harvest at MBD’s upcoming one-hectare site at Queensland’s Tarong power station.
According to MBD, the one-hectare facility will use the power station's CO2-laden flue-gas to feed a Bio-CCS (Bio-based Carbon Capture and Storage) Algal Synthesizer. It will serve as proof of concept for a larger, second stage facility of up to 80 hectares (197 acres) before being progressively expanded to a much larger third stage facility.MBD is regarded as being at the forefront of solutions for stationary industrial emitters such as power stations, smelters and refineries - that securely and efficiently recycles captured flue-gas emissions into oil-rich algal biomass via proprietary systems.
