Studio City, CA -- March 09, 2018 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- Petroteq Energy Inc. (“Petroteq” or the “Company”)
(TSXV: PQE; OTCQX: PQEFF; Frankfurt: A2DYWC), a company
focused on the development and implementation of proprietary
technologies for the energy industry, today announced the opening
of its Petrobloq Blockchain Labs.
The Company has leased and staffed a purpose built space solely
for the development of the Petrobloq technologies. The labs will be
staffed by several blockchain and smart contract developers and
UX/UI designers, making Petrobloq part of a broader strategic
investment around the digital transformation and innovation in oil
and gas supply chain management. Strategic hires have been made
over the past months but the team is now in a single location and
development is accelerating.
“Technological innovation is a top priority for Petroteq— the
Company intends to continue to strategically invest in technology
to benefit our industry, where success or survival depends heavily
on being innovative,” stated Alex Blyumkin, CEO of Petroteq.
Petrobloq’s blockchain initiative is being accepted by oil
majors, like Pemex and Socar (Ukrainian branch) and the company is
looking forward to adding additional energy producers to the roster
of partners when its technology is developed.
According to a recent Deloitte survey, blockchain
technology is emerging as a key business focus for US companies in
many industries, with executives in the consumer products and
manufacturing; and technology, media and telecommunications sectors
planning to invest the most money.
The Petrobloq team will focus on developing robust blockchain
capabilities beginning with proofs of concept that can be developed
into functioning prototypes. The team intends on the platform
having the ability to integrate with already existing solutions for
the oil and gas supply chain.
While the Petrobloq labs team will be focused on working to make
the supply chain more efficient in the oil and gas industry, it is
expected to be working with other applications as well.
