FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Wescorp Reduces $2 million in Expenses
Company continues to make headway in its expense management
CALGARY, Alberta
(Thursday December 10, 2009)– Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTCBB: WSCE) is pleased to announce that in the first nine months of operations ending on September 30, 2009, as compared to the same period for fiscal 2008, Wescorp reduced its operating expenses by approximately $2.0 million. The areas of cost reductions include: headcount, wages and benefits, consulting fees, R&D cost, office expenses, advertising and investor relations expenses, travel expenses, legal and accounting fees, and interest, finance and bank charges. In conjunction with implementing significant cost reductions, during the period from September 30, 2008 to September 30, 2009, Wescorp reduced its total debt obligations primarily as a result of conversion of a portion of its debt to equity.
"We continue to focus on expense reductions and are strategically aligning our business on the water and solids remediation opportunities," commented Doug Biles, CEO and President of Wescorp. "The business of remediating produced water and hydrocarbonladen solids offers the possibility of rapid growth for Wescorp. The oil and gas industry is striving to decrease operational costs and reduce its environmental footprint. We are able to help with both. Although the past year has been challenging, Wescorp has been successful by reducing its operational costs by approximately $2 million, reducing its overall debt obligations by approximately $2.2 million, and entering into a letter of intent with Cancen Oil Canada Corporation, which anticipates Cancen's funding the construction of all of the remediation units to be used on its sites."

Test results on the H2Omaxx unit have been shown to reduce the oil content in produced water to less than 0.001% or 10 parts per million oil, allowing oil and gas operators to reduce, reuse, and recycle water. The HCXT solids remediation unit is a commercially proven, safe, effective and economical process for the extraction and cleaning of hydrocarbon-laden sediments and solids. The technology uses biodegradable chemicals to separate heavy oil from solids, including drilling cuttings and fine sands and clays from oil sand production.
