Petroteq Energy Inc.
Poised for dramatic growth based on the rollout of its patented EOR technology and blockchain for the oil & gas industry
Petroteq was previously known as MCW Energy Group and has disposed of its fuels distribution business to concentrate on a far more compelling opportunity. This is its patented Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technology, which allows oil to be successfully extracted from heavy oil assets, like oil sands, with impressive economics. There are big opportunities in oil sands/heavy oil in the US and at many large-scale oil projects around the world. Projects are crying out for such an affordable proven technology.

Powerful proven clean technology to extract oil from oil sands
The Uinta Basin in Utah represents the largest concentration of oil sands in the US, with more than 30 billion barrels of reserves. Utah is an ideal place for Petroteq to grow by acquiring more leases and joint venture deals on the back of its technology that can really unlock the value in oil sands.
