About Petroteq Exergy Inc.

Petroteq is a clean technology company focused on the development, implementation and licensing ‎of a ‎‎patented, environmentally safe and sustainable technology for the extraction and reclamation of ‎heavy oil and ‎‎bitumen from oil sands and mineable oil deposits. The versatile technology can be ‎applied to both water-wet ‎‎deposits and oil-wet deposits - outputting high-quality oil and clean sand.‎

Petroteq believes that its technology can produce a relatively sweet heavy crude oil from deposits of ‎oil sands ‎‎at Asphalt Ridge without requiring the use of water, and therefore without generating ‎wastewater which would ‎‎otherwise require the use of other treatment or disposal facilities which ‎could be harmful to the environment. ‎‎Petroteq's process is intended to be a more environmentally ‎friendly extraction technology that leaves clean ‎‎residual sand that can be sold or returned to the ‎environment, without the use of tailings ponds or further ‎‎remediation.‎
