Oil and gas exploration company Petroteq Energy (TSX.V: PQE) (OTCQX: PQEFF) recently announced it will be developing a new blockchain platform in collaboration with First Bitcoin Capital Corp. (OTC: BITCF). The new supply chain management platform, named Petrobloq, is under development to be used in the global oil and gas industry. A recent article discussing the potential uses of blockchain reads: “The distributed ledger aspect of the technology means that new transactions and updates are circulated to all nodes on the network simultaneously. The information in the ledger, which is more like an accounting journal rather than a ledger, is structured and encrypted in such a way that it cannot be altered without agreement by a majority of the nodes in a network (which automatically and simultaneously check the change against the ledger). A transaction is initiated by one party and validated by another using a combination of private and public keys. And since the information is distributed, the greater the number of nodes, the more secure the network becomes. Any attempt at fraud would require the corruption of the same chain in every node in a network simultaneously during the few seconds that the Blockchain is processing a change.”
