.....think until they hit 1,000 bopd they will hold off on any grand ceremonies. Certainly hasn't happened.
But they are waiting on permit to sell so maybe that is the main reason for slow start up - insufficient storage. Less than 2 weeks capacity on current production.
Looks like they will need to get more storage to meet rising capacity in due course - although maybe they expect daily/every other day trucking to refineries which will then mean ample storage unit they ramp up production to say 3,000 bopd.

Management has completed the unification, testing, calibration and adjustment of the 14 processes that constitute Petroteq's patented extraction system. The Asphalt Ridge plant is now in commercial production, adding 200 barrels (or more) into its storage tanks daily which have a storage capacity of 3,000 barrels. Management intends to increase production at a rate of an additional 10% of total capacity in each of the coming weeks until it reaches Petroteq's goal of 1,000 bpd. Transportation of the oil off site into its chosen markets, including the nearby refineries in Salt Lake City, Utah, is subject to the Company receiving a business permit, which is anticipated in the coming weeks.
The Company is excited for its anticipated delivery of its high quality heavy crude oil into the market which is expected to meet high demand as supplies in the southern states of heavy crude have dwindled with less production coming from traditional heavy oil producers. The Company has identified multiple buyers for its product as there are multiple refiners in the Salt Lake area that need heavy crude for their desired refining mixture.
