Testing and analysis of the data is expected to begin on in June, and be completed in the third quarter of 2015. Greggory Bigger, STWA Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, commented, \"The opportunity to position a commercial prototype Joule Heat unit on a major crude oil pipeline is another important milestone as we continue to move forward with our ongoing transition from R&D to commercialization and corresponding business development initiatives. We look forward to the test results as we seek to demonstrate the operational and cost efficiencies, and positive environmental impact, our technology can deliver.\"Utah is an ideal location for beta testing of SJH given the current energy climate in the state. Governor Gary Herbert's Utah Energy Initiative program is focused on decreasing environmental impacts related to energy development and increasing efficiencies through cutting-edge technology. SJH helps to accomplish these goals, as it requires less power consumption than traditional trace heating systems to effectively heat crude, increasing the transportation rate of oil while reducing the associated carbon footprint.Mr. Bigger continued, \"Due to a variety of factors such as high viscosity, density, poor mobility and cold ambient temperatures, the use of heat is common throughout the energy sector but has traditionally been extremely inefficient and therefore costly, both from a monetary and environmental standpoint.
