LONDON, March 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
Across the world's big energy markets, the energy war rages on. OPEC and U.S. producers have been competing for years, but it's now clear who's winning this fight. American production of crude oil rose to an all-time high, surpassing 10 million bpd. In February, the International Energy Agency predicted that U.S. shale output could meet all new global demand, thanks to its 'extraordinary growth'. Included in today's commentary: International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE: IBM), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT), Celestica Inc. (NYSE: CLS), Pengrowth Energy Corp. (NYSE: PGH), TransCanada Corporation (NYSE: TRP).
As Saudi Arabia is forced to maintain costly production cuts, the United States has embraced an energy revolution. OPEC cuts, led by the cartel's leader Saudi Arabia, have propped up prices, but there's no question how U.S. companies have come out on top.
By embracing new technologies, innovations in upstream and downstream, and achieving maximum efficiency, American companies on the shale patch and elsewhere have unlocked American energy potential.
But while shale has been the big story, it's really just the beginning. One little company is preparing to take U.S. energy to the next stage: unlocking oil trapped in U.S. oil sands for as little as $23/barrel and using blockchain-based supply-chain management to improve efficiency and cut out the middlemen.
The company is Petroteq Energy Inc. (PQE.V; PQEFF), and it's here to help take U.S. energy dominance to the next level.
Petroteq doesn't want to just produce oil from oil sands much more cheaply-it intends to license advanced technology globally, targeting not only the 1 trillion-plus barrels of oil equivalent in sands in Utah, Colorado and Wyoming, but the trillions of barrels worth everywhere around the world.
Plus, Petroteq is harnessing the hotter-than-hot Blockchain sector to transform energy market deals and data.
Now, with oil prices rising and predictions of future upwards movement and new tech winning the war for North America, here are 5 reasons to watch Petroteq very closely:
1) 87 Million Barrels of Oil Equivalent
Oil sands don't have the best reputation: people tend to think of oil sand extraction as dirty and expensive.
The tar sands of Canada, one of the biggest petroleum deposits on earth, were so expensive to exploit that most majors had to divest from their holdings there after the oil price crashed in 2014.
But Petroteq is getting ready to change that, thanks to a phenomenal resource in Utah and an innovative new method for extracting oil sands crude.
The State of Utah is home to more than half of all U.S. oil sands deposits, and the Uintah region has been producing oil since the 1950s. It's got more than 32 billion barrels of oil equivalent in sands waiting to be extracted from 8 major deposits. It's also got fantastic infrastructure, with 5 major refiners with truck routes to Salt Lak
