Bigger, the Company's President and Chief Financial Officer, has been named Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board (Interim).
"I wish to thank the Board of Directors and the executive team at STWA for their confidence and the opportunity to further advance our goal of commercialization of the Company's AOT™ Viscosity Reduction Systems," Mr. Bigger stated. "As we navigate this smooth transition in leadership, we are progressing on time and on budget for the inaugural deployment of an AOT™ Midstream unit slated to go online with a $30 billion energy infrastructure company in Q1 of 2014."
With offices in Santa Barbara, California, STWA develops and commercializes pipeline flow assurance technologies that improve the economics, safety, and efficiencies of crude oil extraction and transportation systems. The Company's flagship product, Applied Oil Technology, is currently being evaluated by multi-national entities as a method by which to address the enormous energy industry growth associated with the current surge in oil production and transport.
In announcing the pending delivery of the Company's first AOT™ Midstream production unit, Mr. Bigger added that STWA executives are in active discussions with a variety of upstream and midstream operators, most recently during a series of meetings last week with tier-one oil producers and pipeline operators in Houston, Texas.
"During our time in the city with the highest concentration of oil and gas companies in the nation we took the opportunity to meet with our client regarding the AOT™ installation scheduled for March of 2014," Mr. Bigger commented. "In addition to this engagement representing a vigorous advancement of the AOT™ technology, this will be the Company's first opportunity to work in a commercial leasing capacity."
Since joining STWA in February 2012, Mr. Bigger assumed operational control of STWA, managing the Company's day-to-day operations, organizing the Board of Directors, bringing the firm into tighter compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley standards, providing oversight of the issuance of quarterly and annual reports and developing commercial opportunities with distribution partners throughout the world.
