History
qWave AS was founded in June 2015. The idea behind the technology is to utilize the same principles as used within medicine for extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) for generating series of repeatable focused shockwaves for gradual degeneration of formation, scale, cement etc.
qWave is now in the process of developing a range of tools for improved perforation, testing, stimulation and cleaning of wells services in the oil & gas industry. The range of tools and services will be based on a new technique/technology platform invented by qWave.
