On November 28, 2016, QS Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Field Test Agreement (“Agreement”) with a large Canadian oil company, located in Calgary, Alberta (“COC”). The Agreement confirms COC’s desire to field test (the “Field Test”) the Company’s AOT Viscosity Reduction System (the “AOT Technology” or “AOT”) at a COC facility utilizing a fully functional laboratory-scale AOT device (the “AOT-Lab”) to assess the technical capability of the AOT Technology under field operating conditions. Toward this end, the Agreement provides, among other things, that the Company shall deliver and setup, and thereafter Field Test, the Company’s AOT-Lab equipment at a suitable location to be provided by COC (the “Services”). The Field Test shall be conducted and completed over a consecutive five (5) day period, by a date no later than March 31, 2017. As compensation for the Company’s Services, COC has agreed to pay the Company a fixed sum of $50,000 (USD), payable in two (2) equal installments of $25,000 (USD), each due no later than 30 days from COC’s receipt of the Company’s invoice, the first of which was issued by the Company upon execution of the Agreement, and the second of which shall be issued upon delivery of the Company’s Final Report to COC. The Final Report shall contain, among other things, the results of the Field Test, including technical information and data related thereto, preliminary specifications for a full-scale AOT configuration optimized to pipeline operating parameters supplied by COC, and a pro forma benefit analysis applying the Field Test results to the Company’s recommended AOT configuration and operating parameters provided by COC.
The above description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated herein by reference. The name of the COC has been redacted on confidentiality grounds.
This is why TRANSCANADA is showing "CONTINUED INTERESTS" in the PROVEN AOT. This is ABSOLUTELY TRUE. From the Business Plan. AOT Case Study. This is clearly in reference to TransCanada & the PROVEN AOT.

AOT CASE STUDY
QS Energy / ATS RheoSystems Joint Testing of
Commercial Beta Deployment on Mid-Continent High Volume Pipeline
In September 2014, a four-vessel AOT system was installed on a newly constructed, high-volume North-South, mid-continent pipeline under the terms of an Equipment Lease-Option to Purchase Agreement. Fabricated by QS Energy supply chain partners in 2013, the solid-state, 110-ton AOT system was shipped by freight truck and positioned on a gravel substrate on the equipment’s self-contained steel skid-mount at a pumping station of the customer’s choosing.
This commercial deployment and beta test opportunity was the result of extensive collaboration between QS Energy and executives and engineers from multiple producers, pipeline operators and supply chain partners. Following installation, pressure testing and calibration, the AOT system was interfaced with the extant SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) to provide a detailed overview of the system’s performance, including real time monitoring of flow rates, back flow pressure and other relevant metrics. Preliminary tests were conducted over a period of several weeks, under a variety of operating conditions and multiple grades of crude oil and diluent mixtures.
During the preliminary test cycle, it was determined that the electric field within the AOT pressure vessel was insufficient to fully treat heavy crude oils at flow rates expected under full-scale operating conditions. The power supply provided with the AOT device had been specified and approved by Temple University based on infrastructure and operating parameters, as well as on laboratory tests performed on crude oil samples provided by the pipeline operator. Detailed investigation verified the AOT power supply had been manufactured to, and was operating at, specifications as provided by Temple University, but was generating an electric field approximately 10% of that required to optimize treatment under full-scale operating flow rates 16 . It was further determined that replacing the AOT power supply with a more powerful unit would likely correct the situation. However, due to time constraints, all parties agreed to go forward with the testing using the installed power supply.
In its most extensive testing during this deployment, the AOT was operated under full-scale commercial operating conditions over a two-day period. Operations were overseen by the pipeline operator and QS Energy engineers, while engineers from ATS RheoSystems, a division of the CANNON Instrument Company (“ATS”), were on-site collecting data for subsequent analysis. Oil samples were taken from the pipeline both before and after treatment by the AOT. Viscosity measurements were conducted on three grades of heavy crude oils over the two-day testing period. Data collected and analyzed before and after AOT treatment demonstrated a decrease in viscosity of approximately 23 percent 3 hours after treatment, and a decrease in viscosity of approximately 11 percent 13 hours after treatment; 22 hours after treatment, the crude oil had returned to its original pre-treated viscosity.
