“For a company like Petroteq Energy, Inc. (TSX VENTURE: PQE)(OTCQX: PQEFF)(FRANKFURT: MW4A), known for its patented solvent/surfactant-based high-capacity bitumen extraction process for cleanly exploiting raw oil sands, the move to develop a blockchain-based platform in conjunction with First Bitcoin Capital Corp.

Their Petrobloq solution is designed as an intelligent supply chain that learns market conditions and helps the user adapt to market variables — a feature that stands to benefit a wide variety of sectors.”
