Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (Pink Sheets:INTK), an emerging global leader
in nanotechnology, today announced the results of the recent visit by a
team from Petrobras’ headquarters. Petroleo
Brasileiro SA, or Petrobras, is the Brazilian oil & gas producer and one
of the world’s largest oil and gas companies.
The team from Petrobras spent ten days with members of Industrial
Nanotech’s research scientists, business
development team, and management at the Company’s
laboratory in Union, NJ and in meetings in New York, NY from September
8-17. The meetings were originally scheduled to run from September 8-12,
but were extended to Sept 17th at the request of the Petrobras team.
“The team from Petrobras has informed us that
they have made the decision to use our new Nansulate EPX product instead
of the previously chosen Nansulate HH product,”
stated Stuart Burchill, CEO/CTO of Industrial Nanotech, Inc. “In
fact, they were so astonished by the multiple performance capabilities
of EPX that they were taking video clips of the demonstrations at our
laboratory to email to associates in different departments back at their
headquarters in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.”
The Company received written confirmation this past Friday from
Petrobras of the new EPX product volume estimate and timeline. No
projects will be beginning until early 2009 due to the internal
certification process of EPX necessary prior to purchase. New projects
are being added. The new estimated total value of the projects has
increased from approximately 5.8 million dollars US to over 20 million
dollars US.
Mr. Burchill continues, “Obviously, the
additional delay in a deal we have been working on for years, caused in
part by their decision to switch from using Nansulate HH to Nansulate
EPX, is disappointing in terms of our near term revenue objectives, but
we all recognize that delays in major oil and gas infrastructure
construction projects are not unusual and the increase in project
numbers and size is reassuring in terms of the scale of our future in
the oil and gas industry in general. We are also currently in early
stage discussions about the use of our new Nansulate EPX with BP, Exxon
Mobil, ConocoPhillips, and Bredero Shaw...a global leader in industrial
pipe coating with more than twenty seven pipe coating facilities on six
continents. This is a time consuming and tedious process, but we believe
the results will be worth the patience and effort required to gain entry
into this lucrative market sector and getting it right is the critical
component to our long term success with these major international oil
and gas companies.”
Petrobras, short for Petroleo Brasileiro S.A., is a government-owned
Brazilian oil company and one of the world's largest oil companies. The
company controls oil and power industries assets and related business
activities in 16 nations throughout Africa, North America, South America
and Asia. According to Petrobras President Sergio Gabrielli, their
recent major offshore oil discovery, including the Tupi field, would
give Brazil the world's eighth-largest oil and gas reserves.
