Sonoro is focused on the heavy oil - bitumen sector where it is actively pursuing international exploration and production opportunities. Sonoro has developed a proprietary sonic reactor technology platform which may be utilized across numerous industrial processes. Sonoro’s focus within technology is the commercialization of its PetroSonic process that improves heavy oil quality, resulting in improved marketability and pricing of the processed oil. The Company has commenced commercialization of the PetroSonic process through a 1,000 barrel per day (bpd) joint venture (60% Sonoro) in Albania. The Company’s Albanian joint venture is the first step in its strategic shift to a resource focus, partnering with local market producers, processors and refiners to increase the value of heavy oil production.
Other large commercial applications of our process include converting waste fly ash from coal-fired power stations into a cement substitute and the separation and extraction of oil sands from oil.
