Heckmann Corporation Teams Up with
Encana Natural Gas Inc., Westport Innovations Inc. and Peterbilt
Motors Company to Employ the Largest Transport Fleet of Liquefied
Natural Gas Powered Trucks in North America

Westport Innovations Inc. has announced that Heckmann Corporation, a water
solutions company focused on water issues worldwide and, in
particular, oil and natural gas exploration and production, is
teaming up with Encana Natural Gas Inc., a subsidiary of Encana
Corporation, Westport and Peterbilt Motors Company, a division of
PACCAR Inc to transition its truck fleet from traditional diesel
vehicles to natural gas vehicles (NGVs).

Under the
terms of the agreement, Encana will make fueling services available
where Heckmann Water Resources (HWR) operates its fleet of water
transportation vehicles.

HWR will use
the trucks to service its customer’s natural gas wells and provide
water handling services in conjunction with its system of pipelines
and disposal wells.

HWR has
issued a purchase order for 200 Peterbilt 367 liquefied natural gas
(LNG) trucks incorporating Westport Heavy Duty Systems (Westport
HD), from Westport.

Although the
purchase price of NGVs is higher than diesel trucks, the
significantly reduced life cycle operating cost of NGVs is
conducive to operating the heavy-duty trucks on natural gas.
Additionally, because of cleaner combustion, the average operating
life of NGVs is considerably longer.

• Heckmann Corporation places the single largest order for
  liquefied natural gas (LNG) trucks by a U.S. customer (200)



• First major exploration and production company’s supply chain
  transition to natural gas



• NGV fleet to reduce Heckmann Water Resources’ carbon footprint
  in Haynesville Shale area by up to 30% and dramatically reduce fuel
  cost

“This is the
first LNG truck order by a natural gas industry service provider,”
said David Demers, CEO of Westport
Innovations. “HWR and Encana are leading the way to leverage the
clean, abundant, and domestically available natural
gas.”

“The fuel is
inexpensive relative to diesel and its availability for this
application makes an economic win-win for both HWR and Encana as
well as the significant environmental benefits including up to 30%
lower green house gas emissions.”

When
liquefied natural gas is deployed in upstream natural gas
operations critical infrastructure is created and additional market
demand for natural gas is stimulated in fleet transportation,
including light-duty commercial fleets and other heavy-duty
off-road operations, as well as natural gas drilling rigs, pressure
pumping services and freight transportation.

Beyond the
natural gas sector, momentum also builds for increased natural gas
use in other sectors, such as mining and construction, and the
cumulative benefits of expanded natural gas use results in multiple
economic and environmental benefits for society.

Richard J.
Heckmann, Chairman and CEO of Heckmann Corporation, stated: “We are
proud to be the first oil and natural gas services provider to
offer LNG trucks to our clients and to operate the largest fleet of
LNG trucks in North
America.”

Natural gas
combustion produces up to 30% less greenhouse gases resulting in a
much lower carbon footprint per vehicle, and domestic natural gas
will provide us with a significant cost savings over the life of
the vehicles.

“There are
abundant natural gas resources here in our own country, produced by
our own citizens,” Mr. Heckmann
continued. 

“Programs
like the one we have established with Encana are critical in
bringing attention to the phenomenal opportunity available in the
U.S. to rid our nation of the foreign oil tax.  With Encana,
we will do our part by converting our fleet to NGVs, and we
encourage all companies to identify solutions that will eliminate
our country’s dependence on oil imported from the class=”xn-location”>Middle East.”

Natural Gas Technology

The Westport HD System consists of a 15-litre HD engine,
incorporating proprietary Westport fuel injectors, LNG fuel tanks
with integrated cryogenic fuel pumps, and associated electronic
components to facilitate robust performance and reliable
operation.

The Westport
HD engine is certified and compliant to 2010 U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board emission
standards in North
America.

Heckmann
Corporation was created to buy and build companies in the water
sector.  In 2011, the Company continued the acquisition of
additional disposal assets including expansion into the Eagle Ford
Shale area in south Texas. 

In early
2010, the Company completed its 50-mile water disposal pipeline in
the Haynesville Shale, and began expanding the line in 2011 to
handle additional produced water and fresh water
transportation. 

In class=”xn-chron”>February 2010, the Company announced its
joint venture with Energy Transfer Partners to provide turnkey
pipeline transportation solutions for complex water flows in the
Marcellus and Haynesville oil and natural gas
fields. 

The
acquisition of an oilfield produced water disposal and transport
company in November 2010, recently
renamed Heckmann Water Resources, makes the Company one of the
largest handlers of produced water in North America.  href=”http://www.heckmanncorp.com/”>www.heckmanncorp.com
