(the \"Company\") (OTCQB: QSEP), a developer of integrated technology solutions for the energy industry, today announced it has seen an expansion of opportunities for the commercialization of AOT (Applied Oil Technology) crude oil pipeline optimization system as a result of its Viscosity Reduction Laboratory Testing Program offered in collaboration with Temple University. Developed in partnership with Temple University and entirely fabricated in the United States, AOT is an industrial hardware system which lowers the viscosity of unrefined oil through the use of low wattage electrical fields (electrorheology) to improve flow while in transit via pipeline.\"Due to a higher volume of crude oil samples being submitted by producers and transporters for laboratory viscosity testing in the wake of last year's sharp drop in oil spot prices, we have experienced a surge in interest in potential deployment scenarios for AOT,\" stated Greggory M. Bigger, QS Energy Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. \"Over the past three quarters we have been asked to table proposals for AOT systems for high volume commercial pipelines and offshore marine loading facilities. We attribute this increase in potential deployment opportunities to the excellence of the testing protocols at Temple University and the resultant precision of the AOT Case Study Analysis proposals we deliver to prospective customers.\"Laboratory testing of crude oil samples submitted by pipeline operators and petroleum producers has been jointly offered for several years by QS Energy and Temple University to the industry to determine potential viscosity reduction benchmarks and economic benefits for prospective customers based on the latest AOT performance capabilities. All tests are conducted under the supervision of Dr. Rongjia Tao, professor and chair of physics at Temple University and widely recognized as the leading expert in the use of electric and magnetic fields for industrial applications...
