For a heavily regulated industry like oil extraction, blockchain brings further benefits in supporting oversight and compliance. A supply chain system like Petrobloq will make it easier to monitor and report on processes, and so to detect non-compliance. A huge part of the regulatory burden will be shaken off, reducing costs for business and improving oversight for the public.

This is being achieved by Petroteq through a collaborative approach that extends beyond its work with First Bitcoin Capital.

"Our goal is to create the first oil extraction facility in the U.S. in which all industrial processes will be powered by our blockchain-based supply chain management system," said Dr. Jerry Bailey, President of Petroteq. "We have an expansive vision to leverage technology to make a transformative impact on our industry, and we believe in the power of collaboration. We recently became members of Hyperledger, the open source collaboration to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies, and the American Petroleum Institute (API). We look forward to working with our colleagues across industries and borders to help create lasting improvements in efficiency while being mindful of our environment."
