Full Text of Petroteq's Release
Petroteq Energy Inc.("Petroteq" or the "Company") (TSXV: PQE; OTC: PQEFF; FSE: PQCF), a fully integrated oil and gas company, is pleased to announce that it has begun delivering oil into its regional market.
"Our first sale of our product this week represents a critical milestone in Petroteq's evolving history," stated CEO David Sealock. "From a strong entrepreneurial spirit, Petroteq has developed into an oil sands mining producer and technological leader in the sector, and this is due to the hard work of everyone at the Company. Throughout 2018, we've continued to improve on four critical focus areas - focusing of health and safety, increasing production, reducing per barrel costs and working to maximize the value of every barrel we produce."
The Company goal is to deliver oil on a regular basis while ramping production up to the stated nameplate production capacity of 1,000 barrels per day (bpd).
Additionally, the Company is working with several parties on identifying growth capital for the intended expansion of the Company's Asphalt Ridge Plant. The predicted economies that come from a larger production capacity could include:
· Reduced labor costs as an expanded plant would not require significantly more manpower to operate
· Reduced production costs as a result of more efficient purchasing power and bidding of services
· Better product pricing as a result of having more leverage with refineries that are looking for reliable sources of oil
A report titled "Evaluation of Contingent Resources" from Chapman Petroleum Engineering, Ltd. dated May 31, 2018 (the "Chapman Report") states that the Company's leases contain 93.4 million barrels of contingent resource. Such contingencies are stated below.
The Company has recently released a short video that unveils the completed plant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvHXMAX-i58
