Solv-Ex Corporation
When others were spending billions and decades perfecting plants to extract petroleum from Canadian tar sands, Solv-Ex came onto the scene claiming to have patented technology to cut the cost of producing oil from tar sands more than 70%. Solv-Ex is one of three asensio.com transactions that involved companies creating plants based on pilot experimentation.
All of them failed spectacularly. Solv-Ex was the only one of the three that actually created a completely fake plant. The highlight of asensio.com’s investigation was the hiring of a plane to fly over the supposed plant site to prove it did not exist. The result of this investigation was a report titled “Nothing in Solv-Ex’s entire plant works.”
