National Fuel plans to take delivery on 9 units this quarter. At their request, we have already shipped the first unit, 3 weeks after the order! The remaining 4 units will be shipped early next year.

We also have been successful in securing 2 evaluation test sites with El Paso, one in Louisiana and another for the Ruby Pipeline project in Colorado. El Paso owns the largest gas pipeline network in North America, and is also one of the largest producers and processors of natural gas in the US. Below is the test data collected from the site in Louisiana, which shows the Aurora (in Blue) tracking right along with the unit at the site (Spectra – in yellow). El Paso was an early adopter of TDLAS technology with Spectra Sensors, but has expressed
