Haven Technology Solutions, LLC Joint Development Agreement

 

On October 24, 2014, the Company entered into a Joint Development Agreement with Haven Technology Solutions, LLC (“Haven”), a research firm specializing in flow regime management technologies for the global energy industry. Testing to be conducted at the Haven flow-loop research facility in Magnolia, Texas, will incorporate Haven's patented Flow Regime Management systems (FRMs™) as an advanced separation solution in conjunction with STWA's AOT™ Viscosity Reduction System and STWA Joule Heat pipeline flow assurance equipment.

Condensate, or ultra-light oils, are lighter than crude but heavier than liquid natural gas, and make up one of the industry's fastest growing segments as a result of enhanced oil and gas recovery techniques used to extract previously unrecoverable resources from shale formations.
