factors are driving the necessity for leak detection services to the Oil & Gas Industry, and in turn will ultimately drive the success of VGI.

1. Emerging Infrared Technology- Allows previously invisible and undetected gases to be ""seen"" and recorded escaping from components at the wellhead and throughout processing.

2. Safety- The leaking gas is highly combustible posing considerable risk to personnel.

3. Economics- Due to the corrosive nature of minerals coming straight from the earth, it is not a matter of ""if"" a leak develops, but ""when""! The escaping gas can be quantified and a dollar amount applied that offsets the costs of VGI's services.

4. Recent studies, rulings and regulatory guidelines are ongoingly being implemented to measure and regulate the amount of greenhouse gases being released by Oil and Gas Operators. Secondly, they give the EPA the ability to use the same Infrared Technology to detect leaks resulting in citations and monetary fines.

Creating a business model around these factors will result in a company that provides a necessary repetitive service that benefits the environment and protects the companies and thier personnel within the industry.
