Sonic Technology Solutions Inc. and Shell Canada have jointly filed a patent application for the recovery of bitumen from oil sands. The application was filed jointly under a Collaboration Agreement between SonoOil and Shell. SonoOil is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sonic working with Shell to develop oil sand extraction process innovations.
Sonic's core operations are centered on its PetroSonic heavy oil upgrading process except for specific collaborations independently funded and developed for commercial use, like the noted agreement with Shell.
