Studio City, CA --
June 19, 2018 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Petroteq Energy
Inc. (“Petroteq” or the “Company”) (TSXV:
PQE; OTC: PQEFF; Frankfurt: A2DYWC), a company focused on
the development and implementation of proprietary technologies for
the energy industry, announced the successful unveiling of its
environmentally friendly heavy oil processing and extraction plant
located at the Asphalt Ridge in Uintah Basin,
Utah.
Management of Petroteq
took the opportunity of this media day to initiate production at
the plant. Members of national and local press were treated to a
complete explanation and demonstration of the production
process.
Alex Blyumkin, Chairman of
Petroteq commented, "This event at the plant was a culmination of
two years of hard work by our entire team and getting back into
production is a tremendous accomplishment for Petroteq technically
and organizationally, as well as the harbinger of value creation to
come. We have worked hard to demonstrate our commitment to
shareholders, through the completion of our facility, we have
received our permits to produce oil at the Asphalt Ridge, we have
developed a comprehensive mining plan and demonstrated that our
expanded plant can produce oil. Our dedication and focus on
re-launching our facility demonstrates our commitment to our
investors who have supported us throughout this journey. Further,
we were able to raise capital and expand our plant to the point
where we are now able to generate revenue at the facility which is
being ramped up to what is expected to be 1,000 barrels per day in
a cost effective and environmentally friendly way. We now have a
plant that has the level of scale that allows us to be self
sufficient and generate cash flow to add value to our
shareholders.”
The new facility was part
of the original vision of the Company, to relocate, reassemble and
upgrade its plant to integrate facility improvements of all major
process systems and increase its operational capacity to an
expected 1,000 barrels per day (bod).
As part of the media day
agenda, the Company provided exclusive access to the plant, held
meetings with executives as well as geologists and hosted an
evening reception for its guests. Petroteq plans to hold a formal
grand opening of the plant in September of 2018.
Petroteq’s technology
utilizes a modular and small footprint/capex, allowing the Company
to extract over 99% of all hydrocarbons while using no water and
generating no greenhouse gases, requiring no high temperatures or
pressures. Petroteq has a patented clean oil recovery technology
that is environmentally safe and sustainable for the extraction of
heavy oils from oil sands, oil shale deposits and shallow oil
deposits. The Company’s proprietary process produces zero
greenhouse gas and zero waste. Subject to having
sufficient capital, Petroteq’s goal is for the plant to produce as
much as 2,000 bod by year end 2019 and 5,000 bod by year end
2020.
Petroteq will continue
commissioning and production as per its internal processes, and
will report updates on production levels and commercial sales when
appropriate.
