Studio City, CA -- March 14, 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, is pleased to announce the planned opening of
marketing offices in key strategic international markets, initially
targeting Switzerland, Russia and Ukraine.
PetroBLOQ is building a consortium of oil
and gas producers. Most recently the Company announced the addition
of PEMEX, the Mexican state-owned petroleum company and SOCAR
Energy Ukraine, Ltd. (“SOCAR”), a subsidiary of
State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic.
To
continue building on its growing number of memberships in
its PetroBLOQ consortium the Company intends on expanding
its footprint internationally by opening offices in locations that
it feels will be strategic as it continues to develop
a supply chain management platform for the oil
and gas industry based on advanced blockchain distributed ledger
technology.
Russia
According to a Reuters
article published earlier this year, Russian oil production’s
continued growth in 2017 reached a 30-year high of 10.98 million
barrels per day, making Russian based oil and gas companies ideal
candidates for the PetroBLOQ platform and membership into its
PetroBLOQ consortium.
Ukraine
The crucial Ukrainian gas-transit industry has
been troubled with ever increasing instability due to geopolitical
tension. The Company believes that the platform, which it is
developing, may find a healthy following among Ukrainian firms
interested in efficiency, transparency and decentralized
technologies.
Switzerland
Due to Switzerland’s abundance of commodity
trading firms the Company feels that having a
local presence will provide for many opportunities to bolster
membership in
its PetroBLOQ consortium.
Alex Blyumkin, CEO
of Petroteq, commented, “We have been gaining traction
with oil and gas related companies to
our PetroBLOQ platform and we feel that bolstering our
international presence in key markets will create an advantage as
we move forward with the platform’s development.”
