SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwire -03/05/12)- STWA, Inc. (OTC.BB: ZERO.OB - News) ("STWA" or the "Company"), a developer of applied solutions for oil and fuel delivery systems in the multi-billion dollar oil pipeline and diesel engine markets, today announced that the Company's Chairman and CEO, Mr. Cecil Bond Kyte, will be presenting the Company's Applied Oil Technology™ (AOT™) oil pipeline efficiency technology to key decision makers in China during the week of March 5th to March 9th. Presentations will be made in China to both governmental and commercial decision makers in the oil pipeline industry regarding the implementation of AOT™ in China.

Mr. Kyte's agenda will include:

1. Reviewing STWA's worldwide intellectual property position and demonstrating how the AOT™ technology can reduce oil viscosity;
2. Developing, in conjunction with Chinese counterparts, a model of the energy efficiency benefits to China specifically with regards to China's national mandate to reduce energy consumption 16% by 2015; and an economic model of the benefits AOT™ can create for China and Chinese enterprises;
3. Discussing the establishment of an R&D facility in China to further develop STWA's products and technologies to suit the Chinese market;
4. Discussing with Chinese counterparts the Chinese market estimates of 13,932 miles of crude oil pipelines and 8,265 miles of oil product pipelines within Chinese national borders, with total consumption growing by approximately 1.1 million barrels per day, per year, and the impact of viscosity reduction on this growth. This 1.1 million barrels per day growth figure represents almost 40% of projected world oil demand growth between 2010 and 2012, making China the largest growth market in the world.

About AOT™

STWA's Applied Oil Technology™ (AOT™) is designed to allow pipeline operators to temporarily reduce the viscosity of the crude oil within their pipeline(s) to reduce the fluid-drag (also known as friction-loss) between the fluid and the pipeline. By reducing the friction loss, pipeline operators' pump systems require less energy to maintain a constant flow rate, thereby directly reducing daily operation costs.
