Formation Fluid Management Inc. (TSX VENTURE: FFM) ("FFM") is pleased to announce that our engineering department has confirmed the commissioning date for our first commercial scale water processing unit as June 30, 2011. The main unit and the associated pre-filtration unit have both been fully designed in-house by our lead engineer and we are currently in the final stages of manufacturing in our facility in Red Deer. The Mobile Treatment Unit will consist of 2 modules that are housed on two independent trailers. The commissioning date has been delayed due to several weeks delay in acquiring necessary parts and materials from suppliers and due to design improvements that were implemented in the final stages of construction.

Our Mobile Treatment Unit has been to designed to be capable of processing flowback and produced water at 60m3 per hour and is expected to deliver the industry's first "Low-Cost" treatment process that can be ramped up and down to meet different wastewater treatments demands.

FFM also participated with our mobile test unit in a demonstration of treating contaminated runoff and ground water from an industrial site in the lower mainland of BC in April, 2011. The purpose of the demonstration and testing was to capture and treat the water on the site before it leaches into the river. Another component of the test was to treat bilge water from the shipping industry. The facility cannot allow contamination from their site to leak into any adjacent properties or waterways, they are obligated by law to capture, contain and treat contamination resulting from the operations of their business. Independent laboratory test results by Envirochem Services Inc. confirmed that the treated water exceeded the CCME and BC Aquatic Life Guidelines requirements for the ground and runoff water as well as the bilge water. After the successful demonstration in April an invitation to return to further expand our testing was extended.

Our sales department is finalizing negotiations regarding the first contract for our commercial unit. We expect to make an announcement very soon. Once our first unit is under contract and generating revenue we intend to start the process for the construction of additional units as soon as possible. The firm commissioning date for the first commercial sized unit has made it possible for our sales department to start discussing the use of our services with the planning departments of those potential clients with early summer programs requiring our type of service.

We expect that our FFT Water Treatment Process will allow us to get established in the significant wastewater treatment market and we believe that we will become the leader in this market due to our unique design and "Low-Cost" alternative disposal methods. In our opinion, to date the approaches to the tremendous wastewater treatment problems have been inadequate and we can solve the two major issues with our Mobile Treatment Plants: We are COST-EFFECTIVE and provide the VOLUME NEEDED!

On behalf of the Board of Directors
