Wednesday June 14, 9:20 am ET


EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jun 14, 2006 -- Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTC BB:WSCE.OB - News) is pleased to announce it has reached an agreement with Ellycrack A/S to transfer the VISCOSITOR test-plant from SINTEF facilities in Norway to Canada.

As part of the agreement Wescorp will:

- Modify and/or upgrade all structural elements of the test-plant to allow continuous prolonged testing of the patented Ellycrack heavy-oil upgrading process required by field operations

- Integrate all instrumentation and monitoring equipment needed to run, vary, measure and record several series of datasets to be generated by testing for commercial scaling analysis

- Develop and run tests with the joint-venture's engineering firm to quantify material balance, energy balance, output composition, emissions handling (including excess heat and steam); all parameters affecting scalability of the technology for commercial applications

- Provide the joint-venture engineering firm all datasets to perform comprehensive scaled modeling and performance analysis for a variety of commercial grade processing units

- Arrange for all testing, data output and analysis to be monitored, verified and endorsed by an accredited internationally recognized body which specializes in heavy-oil upgrading technology development

The test-plant is on loan to the joint-venture by Ellycrack A/S as a means to accelerate the application of VISCOSITOR technology on a commercial scale. Ready access to an operating unit by the joint-venture's engineering team which can draw from a broad world-call base of heavy-oil upgrader technology expertise residing in Western Canada, could reduce the VISCOSITOR's time-to-market by a considerable margin.

Commenting on the agreement and transfer, Ellycrack AS President Olav Ellingsen stated, "Our joint-venture should realize significant benefits by continuing to test Ellycrack in Western Canada. By transferring the VISCOSITOR, we have better and more timely access to technical and financial resources made available by government and industry-sponsored agencies established specifically to advance the commercialization of heavy-oil upgrading technologies like Ellycrack. From a marketing perspective, we also felt it advantageous to have a more direct, visible presence in what will be a primary market once the Ellycrack process is commercially available".
