QS Energy Secures Major Order to Deploy Applied Oil Technology in Southeast Asia and Africa

QS Energy Receives Initial Order for Multi-Year AOT Technology Deployment
**Multi-Billion-Dollar Program with Up to 400 Units Ordered to Modernize Crude Transport Infrastructure**

TOMBALL, TX, June 20, 2025 – (ACN Newswire) – QS Energy, Inc. (OTCQB:QSEP), a leader in crude oil transport technology, has secured a significant order to implement its Applied Oil Technology (AOT) across Southeast Asia and Africa. This development marks a pivotal moment for QS Energy, aligning with global efforts to modernize and decarbonize crude oil infrastructure.

### Delivering on a Promise of Innovation and Success

The initial order consists of five (5) AOT units, initiating a broader multi-phase deployment as part of a government-supported program with VIPS Petroleum. This order, valued at **$25 million**, is expected to be fully paid within the current quarter. It sets the stage for a potential **$2 billion** framework involving **400 units** in Southeast Asia and Africa. The delivery of the remaining **395 units** will occur in milestone-based phases, structured around a **50/25/25 payment** model, which will ensure robust cash flow for QS Energy starting in Q3 and Q4 of 2025. The proven effectiveness of AOT has facilitated engagements with energy ministries and national oil companies. This agreement is made possible by VIPS Petroleum, QS Energy’s exclusive regional distributor, contracted in 2024.

Cecil Bond Kyte, CEO of QS Energy, remarked: “This order demonstrates our technology’s capability to revolutionize crude transport. Partnering with VIPS and receiving support from ministries and operators, we are establishing a new global benchmark for efficiency and sustainability.”

### The Technology Transforming Crude Transport

AOT has been independently validated through peer-reviewed studies, field trials, and testing at Temple University. It addresses one of the industry’s long-standing challenges—enhancing the efficiency of oil transportation. Since the era of Rockefeller’s Standard Oil, the sector has struggled with viscosity, drag, and energy loss. AOT effectively reduces viscosity by **10% or more** utilizing electric fields, which in turn decreases pump pressure and energy costs. Designed for demanding, continuous operation, each unit undergoes rigorous testing to ensure long-term performance.

### Made in America, Built for the World

QS Energy takes pride in designing and manufacturing AOT systems in the U.S., with a workforce of American employees. Our partners include:

– **Industrial Screen and Maintenance** – a manufacturer with over **56 years** of experience
– **Precision Urethane** – a family-owned business and leader in urethane for over **55 years**
– **ReadyFlo** – a specialist in turnkey ASME pressure vessels
– **Forward-MFG** – experts in custom electronics and sensors

Their commitment has been instrumental in making this historic deal possible.

### Expanding Global Partnerships and Financing

This agreement positions Southeast Asia and Africa at the forefront of modern crude transport and job creation. The successful implementation of this model is prompting discussions for expansion into Australia, the Middle East, and other regions. QS Energy and VIPS Petroleum are currently finalizing additional agreements to replicate this structure and expand AOT deployment worldwide.

### Secure Implementation and Compliance

QS Energy is dedicated to maintaining full transparency through regular updates and adherence to U.S., Southeast Asian, and African standards. The program is supported by milestone payments and top-tier financial guarantees, minimizing risk. Insights gained from previous deployments inform a robust execution plan, ensuring that each phase meets deadlines and quality benchmarks.

### Other Considerations

QS Energy will receive a share of the increased crude flow enabled by AOT, generating long-term performance-based revenue.

### Looking Ahead

With deployment in progress, QS Energy aims to enhance its role in the energy transition. The cost savings and environmental advantages of AOT position it for significant global impact.
