1. IEP Technology Proves Viability of Geothermic Fuel Cell™ for Oil & Gas
Production
IEP Technology's full feature geothermic fuel cell prototype built by Delphi Automotive is successfully
tested at Colorado School of Mines' Colorado Fuel Cell Center. This is the second milestone IEP
TEchnology has made on schedule.
Denver, CO, November 22, 2013 — Researchers and oil company representatives from around the
world recently toured the first full-featured Geothermic Fuel Cell™ (GFC), a new innovation that
can produce greater efficiency in extracting oil from shale.
IEP Technology and Delphi Automotive are working collaboratively to develop this innovation and
have executed a Memorandum of Understanding under which Delphi Automotive expects to
integrate solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology into GFCs.
The unit was shown in October during the 33rd Oil Shale Symposium presented by the Colorado
School of Mines and the Colorado Fuel Cell Center (CFCC). Initial testing led by Dr. Neal Sullivan,
Ph.D., an associate professor at Colorado School of Mines and director of the CFCC, proved that
the GFC can be operated at the high temperatures needed to heat oil shale formations to produce
oil in situ or in place.
“This is an exciting opportunity for all involved. It’s a true collaboration between IEP Technology
(IEPT), Delphi and the CFCC to test the full-feature GFC prototype. We are bridging theory to
industrial use in an exciting new way at our lab,” said Sullivan.
The multi-stack, full-featured GFC module follows successful testing of a single stack GFC in April
2013. This is the second major technology milestone IEPT has met with relative ease.
“We could not be happier to meet this second milestone with such success in proving our multistack, full-featured GFC module. Our next major step will be to couple and test multiple modules
in the lab in preparation for our in-ground, pre-field testing at a location on Colorado School of
Mines property,” said Mark Wall, IEPT’s Manager of Projects.
IEPT selected Delphi’s SOFC as the most advanced and production-viable stack available today.
Delphi’s SOFC converts chemical energy in conventional fuels directly into useful electrical power
and heat without combustion, resulting in minimal emissions. Electric heaters have been used to
extract oil from shale in situ, but IEPT’s concept has the potential to be much more efficient and
does not require a dedicated electrical power plant.
Delphi has designed SOFCs and completed development projects to generate electric power for
commercial vehicle auxiliary units, stationary and military applications. Delphi is committed to
applying its SOFC technology to green energy applications such as the GFC, and brings years of
automotive component manufacturing and system integration experience to support IEPT in
developing its technology for oil shale production applications.
“Beyond the application of extracting oil from shale, we have always envisioned multiple uses for
the GFCs such as fresh water production from brackish underground aquifers and landfill pyrolysis

2. in addition to the in situ production of unconventional hydrocarbons,” said Al Forbes, IEPT’s
president and CEO. “Delphi’s ability to engineer and adapt its existing SOFC technology to GFC
applications, manufacture on a volume basis and distribute globally will go a long way in making
this a reality.”
The in-ground testing of the full-feature GFC modules scheduled for 2014 on Colorado School of
Mines property will include the in situ installation and operation of multiple GFC modules. It will
also test all related equipment for fuel conditioning and supply and power management for the
green electrical power produced as a byproduct of the GFC applications.
About IEP Technology
IEP Technology (IEPT) is the owner of the patented, breakthrough in-situ Geothermic Fuel
Cell™(GFC™) system. GFCs create heat for use in the recovery of unconventional hydrocarbons
while producing additional energy to be sold back into the market as clean, baseload electricity.
IEPT is currently focused on the economic and environmentally responsible recovery of oil shale
and oil sands. The company holds exclusive rights to broad, patented GFC technologies in the U.S.
and Canada, and has strategic partnerships with Uintah Resources, Inc., Delphi Corporation and
Colorado School of Mines. Learn more about the company and its technology at Iepm.com or
