QS Energy's AOT Crude Oil Friction Reduction Hardware in Review Phase for Systemic Integration With Condensate Pipeline

SANTA BARBARA, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/06/16 -- QS Energy, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCQX: QSEP), a developer of integrated technology solutions for the energy industry, today announced its AOT (Applied Oil Technology) system will be benchmarked on a variety of super-light and ultra-light crude oil due to its ongoing positive evaluation on a major crude and condensate pipeline serving the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas. In making the announcement, Greggory M. Bigger, QS Energy Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, stated, "In collaboration with our partner, we've mapped out the path forward to most effectively meet their objectives, which include laboratory testing of additional crude oil products followed by hydraulic analysis based on those results to determine the appropriate friction and viscosity reduction goals for our AOT system."

Designed to be installed adjacent to pipeline pumping stations, AOT subjects crude oil to a high-voltage/low-amperage electrical field to reduce its viscosity, which permits it to flow in higher volume. By integrating the AOT power supply with the hardware that controls and monitors a pipeline, typically situated in a remotely located control room, AOT will provide pipeline operators with the ability to monitor and react to real-time data to gain the best possible operational efficiencies.

"Upon delivery of our detailed use case study and cost-benefit projections, we anticipate integrating the AOT power supply with the pipeline's SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system to provide remote operation of the AOT unit and automate its operation according to changes in the product transported," Mr. Bigger added. "QS Energy has also been asked to develop an installation-specific operational and systems handbook to gain maximum performance from the continuous AOT on a batch condensate system."

Initially installed on the condensate line last year, the customized AOT unit has undergone a rigorous value engineering process to achieve flow rates at levels predicted in earlier laboratory testing of samples of the ultra-light crude carried by the pipeline. Further viscosity reduction assessments of additional condensate samples are scheduled to be conducted at Temple University's Department of Physics, with hydraulic analysis of the additional data to be performed by QS Energy engineers.

"We're delighted that the recent performance review of AOT has resulted in an opportunity for us to demonstrate its friction reduction capabilities in a batched, multi-grade environment," Mr. Bigger added. "The industry's drive toward greater efficiencies and carbon neutrality demand technologies capable of reducing emissions related to the production and transport of crude oil while improving the economics of doing business in a lower spot price market. We believe AOT can play an important role in supporting our customers' commitment to producing energy more cost-efficiently and in an environmentally responsible manner."

QS ENERGY CEO JASON LANE ISSUES SHAREHOLDER UPDATE

HOUSTON, TX -- (Marketwired) -- 03/19/18 --

QS Energy, Inc. (the "Company" or "QS Energy") (OTCQB: QSEP) is a developer of integrated technology solutions for the energy industry. The following is a shareholder update from Jason Lane, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, QS Energy, Inc.


Dear Shareholders:

I would like to update you on progress we've made since my previous shareholder update letter. In January, I described three prospective customers considering AOT pilot programs. I am excited to report the first of these three potential pilots has received preliminary approval and has moved from concept to planning phase, targeting pilot installation in July 2018. We are now working diligently to finalize project details and definitive documents. Although we've been asked to keep project details confidential at this time, I can tell you the overseas pipeline site under consideration transports very heavy crudes and is highly dependent on diluents to meet viscosity requirements. This project presents an excellent opportunity to showcase both financial and operational benefits of AOT. Once plans and definitive documents are finalized, we will provide project details. Moving forward, the project is expected to provide valuable operational data to demonstrate value and efficacy to the market, and upon successful pilot operations, the operator is well positioned to benefit from system-wide adoption of AOT and could have high demand for our technology.

We are continuing to make progress on two additional pilot programs as described in my January letter. Temple University is in the process of completing tests on oil samples provided by these prospective customers, and we expect final reports before the end of the month. We plan on meeting with these companies in the next 2-3 weeks to work on finalizing project details with the intention of executing an LOI for at least one more pilot program in 2018.

As we continue to work with these and other companies, we see growing interest and enthusiasm in our AOT product line. We are excited to see the AOT in the field operating without the tight constraints of previous non-disclosure agreements. Once again, we thank you for your support and we look forward to a great year!

Sincerely,
Jason Lane
CEO, QS Energy, Inc.

Please, don't make me laugh. 100% that's a real bid. I know OTC well, and fake bids come and go to
try and spur buying. They are called prop bids. This bid has already been up for multiple days and hasn't left once. Tells me it's real. We will find out. If they start to get filled or start to buy on the offer then it will be confirmed that you're wrong. I'll bet that's the case.

10k's have said it, PR's have said it, shareholder updates have said it. Please tell me people...how many times do we all need to hear the company confirm the AOT results on the KM pipeline were commensurate to lab results and they told us what the lab results were. They were great. See more below on sample results of 50%. Seriously, this is stupid.

Clear as day the company states AOT works and works incredibly well. Just stupid to debate this point over and over because anyone can see the AOT works as advertised. In fact in their most recent update the company confirms a massive reduction in viscosity on one type of oil, I think it was 50%.

Ok yeah here it is...

"Tested across a range of operating temperatures, AOT reduced viscosity of these samples by 50% or more, with viscosity reduction lasting more than 100 hours. Applying laboratory results to detailed characteristics of this customer’s pipeline at a site under consideration for AOT deployment indicates AOT has the potential to increase flow rates and capacity of this pipeline by 30% to 40%."

That's freaking Incredible. So, point blank you are WRONG...cue the buzzer....

It sucks to be wrong, but get used to it. This company gonna shock some folks :))

ABSOLUTELY FALSE according to CENOVOUS. Sales of the PROVEN AOT are FAST APPROACHING. FURTHER EVIDENCE the PROVEN AOT will be going to CENOVUS in CANADA as per the FACTS in the 10k below. The big players in the oil industry want the PROVEN AOT as per the EVIDENCE below. This is about the PRESENT, NOW & the FUTURE, not what happened 15 years ago.

The Company generated $50,000 in revenue from the viscosity reduction license during the six-month period ended June 30, 2017.

In November 2016, the Company executed an agreement with Cenovus FCCL Limited (“Cenovus”), a Canadian company, for the field testing of the Company’s AOT equipment at a fixed cost of $50,000. As the part of the agreement, Cenovus will pay the Company $25,000 in January 2017. The balance of $25,000 will be due upon completion of the test analysis and final report. The field testing was performed in January 2017. Final analysis and test report is scheduled to be completed in April 2017. Upon completion of the field testing and collection of the amount due, the Company will recognize the $50,000 as revenue.

QS Energy Completes AOT Testing on Alberta Bitumen, Establishing Benchmarks for Opex Savings and Environmental Benefits in Oil Sands Market

SANTA BARBARA, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/10/17 -- QS Energy, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCQB: QSEP), a developer of integrated technology solutions for the energy industry, today announced the successful demonstration of a modified AOT (Applied Oil Technology) system to measurably reduce the viscosity of Canadian synthetic crude oil, offering pipeline operators the potential to improve flow volume, reduce reliance on diluents, meet carbon emission reduction goals, and other measurable operational efficiencies. The field tests were conducted on Alberta oil sands dilbit using a miniaturized AOT system which replicates QS Energy's full-scale vessels designed for use on high volume commercial crude oil pipelines.

"Through collaboration with an upstream customer we've established a strong performance benchmark for AOT on oil sands products, achieving results on par with laboratory testing conducted at Temple University by Dr. Rongjia Tao, a leading researcher in the development of technologies based on the use of electrorheological principles," commented Greggory M. Bigger, QS Energy Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. "In the lab, we have routinely attained viscosity reduction of similar degree on super heavy, heavy, and ultra-light crude oils ranging from 15% to more than 40%. Though we are restricted from disclosing specific details of this in-field test, we can report that they correlated well with laboratory results and full-scale testing performed on closed-loop and commercial pipelines."

Developed in collaboration with crude oil producers and transporters to optimize the performance of the global pipeline infrastructure, AOT was originally field tested on a closed-loop pipeline by the U.S. Department of Energy at the Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center during which viscosity reductions greater than 56% on a medium crude oil product were recorded. A more recent commercial deployment of a four-vessel AOT Midstream system on a high-volume, mid-continent pipeline achieved viscosity reductions better than 20% on heavy crude oils, results that were independently verified by third parties.

"This month's successful benchmark test on diluted crude oil from oil sands sources demonstrates strong potential for reducing operational overhead costs for our customers and helping them meet CO2 and methane reduction goals which is particularly relevant with the availability of tax credits, rebates, and other financial incentives through carbon levy and carbon pricing programs," Mr. Bigger stated. "Because AOT is designed specifically to increase pipeline efficiency and throughput and reduce reliance on diluent and other additives, it can deliver substantial savings by lessening the degree by which these thinning agents displace feedstock and take up valuable pipeline capacity. This factor alone can drive tens of thousands of dollars a day to the bottom line of producers when AOT is in use on a high-volume pipeline transporting 100,000 to 200,000 barrels per day."

Mr. Bigger added that with the introduction of Alberta's Carbon Levy on January 1st of this year, the retrofitting of AOT for use in treating Alberta oil sands could not be more timely.

"By improving flow, countering pipeline pressure drop, and increasing pipeline capacity, AOT can potentially lower pump station power consumption and thereby reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions," he stated. "Based on the support of Alberta's Climate Leadership Plan by the largest producers active in the oil sands, we agree that revenue generated from market-driven carbon pricing programs will encourage the development and use of GHG-reducing technologies and position Alberta as a recognized global leader in the application of clean technologies in the oil and gas industry."

Home to the third largest oil sands deposits in the world, the Province of Alberta and the companies active in the region have made finding solutions to improve the flow of the thick, asphalt-like bitumen a central focus of research and ongoing capitalization. Despite a reduction in new projects following a drop in spot prices in 2014, oil sands output is still projected to reach 3,000,000 barrels per day by 2020. The growing use of new extraction and processing technologies also hold the potential for bitumen production to become profitable at the current oil benchmark prices of $50 USD per barrel, according to a report issued last month by CIBC World Markets, the research arm of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

Covering an area of roughly 54,800 square miles in northern Alberta, the Athabasca, Peace River, and Cold Lake oil sands deposits contain an estimated 315 billion barrels of recoverable oil, approximately 80% of which is extracted through drilling and other forms of in-situ production. The bulk of the bitumen and dilbit produced in the region and diluent used as a thinner are primarily transported by the Cold Lake, Corridor and Polaris pipeline systems. With AOT's efficacy now tested on a variety of oil sands samples, its ability to significantly reduce the viscosity of bitumen and its derivatives could help maximize the intended benefits of carbon-pricing within the Alberta energy sector which contributes in excess of $50 billion annually to Canada's gross domestic product of $1.5 trillion

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.

INCORRECT. Professor Tao's GREAT work has been peer reviewed & verified by professor's, scientist & Universities from all over the world. The below FACTS are from a few months ago. Another tick of APPROVAL for Professor Tao & Temple University.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/319413105_Electrical_Treatment_of_Waxy_Crude_Oil_To_Improve_Its_Cold_Flowability

ABSTRACT

We demonstrate that the cold flowability of the waxy crude oil can be significantly improved via electrical treatment. A novel apparatus was assembled to electrically treat the waxy crude oil while simultaneously measuring its rheological properties. A method was developed to calculate the oil’s viscosity by using non-Newtonian fluid mechanics and rheological principles. Lower treatment temperatures, higher electric field strengths, and lower shear rates provided greater viscosity reduction. Notably, a viscosity reduction of 70% was obtained when the oil was electrically treated near its pour point for 90 s. Microscopic examinations indicate that the broader size distribution of wax particles in the treated oil might be responsible for the observed viscosity reduction. Besides, the energy consumption of the electrical treatment was estimated to be less than 1% of that of the conventional heating method to achieve the same viscosity reduction performance.

CONCLUSIONS

We assembled a novel apparatus to electrically treat the waxy crude oil and developed a method to calculate the viscosity variation during the treatment by using non-Newtonian fluid mechanics and rheological principles. Lower treatment temper- atures, lower shear rates, and higher electric field strengths provided higher viscosity reduction. This viscosity reduction might be caused by a broader wax crystal size distribution in the oil after the treatment. A viscosity reduction of 70% was obtained after the crude oil was electrically treated at 18 °C and 0.8 kV/mm for 90 s. Moreover, the electrical treatment was estimated to consume less than 1% of the energy assumption associated with heating to achieve the same viscosity reduction performance. These findings demonstrate that the electrical treatment might be an efficient and economical technology for improving the cold flowability of waxy crude oils.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/321035743_Viscosity_reduction_for_flowability_enhancement_in_Iraqi_crude_oil_pipelines_using_novel_capacitor_and_locally_prepared_nanosilica

Abstract

The aim of the present work is to reduce the viscosity of Iraqi heavy crude oil to enhance its flowability in pipelines. This has been done by applying an effective electrical field through design and implementation of an invented capacitor. In order to attain this objective; an experimental rig has been built. It consisted of: a crude oil pipe, a novel parallel plate capacitor, an oil pump, a solenoid valve, a viscometer, and a control unit (relay, voltage regulator, rectifier, timer, and digital voltmeter). The experimental work was performed according to central composite rotatable design for three operating variables: treatment time (0–60 s), applied voltage (140–220 v), and space between capacitor electrodes of (2–10 cm). The optimum conditions were obtained using STATISTICA and WinQSB softwares. At optimum conditions, locally prepared nanosilica has been employed with different concentrations (0–700 mg/L) to show its effect on crude oil viscosity in the presence of an electrical field impact. The results showed that the viscosity was reduced significantly with increasing treatment time, voltage, and distance between electrodes. The Minimum viscosity obtained was at 32 s treatment time, 188 V, and 6.11 cm distance between capacitor electrodes. This represented the optimum conditions with a minimum viscosity of 20.479 cSt. Afterwards, the viscosity increased due to particles aggregation. At optimum conditions the fluid flow characteristics obtained were: 2630.93, 0.4089 gm/cm2, 0.2657 gm/cm2, and 57.059 W S, for Reynolds number, shear stress, pressure drop, and power consumption, respectively. The experimental results proved that the invented capacitor offered a good reduction in viscosity and a good saving in power of 37% at optimum con- ditions achieved at 10 ± 2 C. The nanosilica optimum concentration was 100 mg/L that gave a minimum vis- cosity of 12.8 cSt with a reduction percentage and power saving of 60.6%. The viscosity reduction has lasted for 11 h.

Conclusions

From the obtained results it can be concluded that the electric field proved to be a very effective method for viscosity reduction suitable for Iraqi heavy crude oil. The electric field processing technology consumes very little energy resulting in a high energy saving for pumping; also the flow rate of crude oil in pipelines subjected to electrical field treatment is greater than that without treatment. The experimental measurement of viscosity processed with electrical field method at low temperatures confirmed the effectiveness of the treating method even with lower climate temperatures. The innovative design of the perforated parallel plate's capacitor achieved a best reduction in the viscosity of Iraqi crude oil. It enabled the micro and nano size particles to arrange in short chains and allowed the layers of liquid to slide over each other in a regular form, diminished the turbulence and friction with internal pipe walls. The addition of nano silica particles in very low concentrations together with the electric field contributed significantly to crude oil viscosity reduction because of high dielectric, but at greater concentrations increased the viscosity. Thus it can be concluded that the nano silica treated viscosity, when added in a few percentages. Finally, electric field with a novel capacitor design can reduce the viscosity of heavy crude oil in few sec- onds lasting for several hours.

At 11:25 this morning a trade for 900,000 shares of QSEP printed as someone hit a large bid that had been around for a couple of weeks. Contrast that event with this lie:

Fake bid. No-one with any investing sense would
A) place a bid of a size value of $90k when they could simply call up the company and negotiate a good 20 points plus warrants for the same funds
and
B) risk having a bunch of small fry hit the bid with 1-5000 lot sales and cost the buyer double in fees.........Or are just trying to manipulate a penny stock and have the power to pull it before the transaction books.
