(OTC: FTXP), including its direct and indirect subsidiaries, ("Foothills," or the "Company"), an oil and gas exploration company, is pleased to provide a corporate and operational update and announce the completion of its Phase I compliance initiative.
Compliance Update
On July 14, 2021, the Company filed its Q3 2020 Quarterly Report with OTC Markets (“OTC”) and on July 21, 2021, the Company also filed its 2020 Annual Report with OTC. On July 30, 2021, the Company filed its Q1 2021 Quarterly Report enabling it to become assigned to the OTC Pink Current tier.

Corporate Update
Management is currently evaluating several small to mid-sized production and exploration opportunities in the U.S. Mid-Continent and Rocky Mountain regions to add to the Company’s asset portfolio.
Energy Transition Update
The Company’s New Energy Ventures subsidiary (“NEV”) is developing a deep hydrogen observatory project, an internal research program designed to identify and locate natural hydrogen signatures globally. Natural hydrogen is an emerging field of the energy industry that has the potential to drastically change the pace of the global energy transition to net zero. The artificial intelligence-driven project will employ satellite imagery and geographical information systems for the synergistic application of an algorithm-based model to discover natural hydrogen seeps globally.
NEV is assembling a transdisciplinary technical team comprised of professionals from various disciplines of Earth Science and Engineering who will work across traditional disciplinary lines to gain a better understanding of natural hydrogen system logic and lead to the successful discovery of natural hydrogen prospects globally. This project will be complemented by the recently announced joint venture between NEV and Perspectum Drone Inspection Services Ltd., which will develop a drone-based detection system to identify natural hydrogen emanations and helium potential. The Company will provide a more comprehensive update on New Energy Ventures and its future initiatives in the coming weeks.
Wind River Basin Wyoming – Beaver Creek East Unit
Foothills is currently developing a 16,000-acre multi-stacked pay Exploration Development Area in Fremont County, Wyoming, which is highly prospective for oil and natural gas.
The Company has retained advisers, Geopinion, Inc., to present geological information supporting the development of a Frontier Formation resource opportunity by applying for a Federal Exploration Unit. The planned Federal Unit obligation wells are in the process of “Notice of Staking” (“NOS”) and “Application Permit to Drill” (“APD”) on wells that will test the Cretaceous reservoir analogues to the adjacent “Beaver Creek,” “Riverton Dome,” and “Sand Draw” fields and specifically analog targets in the Frontier Formation sands being aggressively developed by horizontal drilling activity in the Powder River Basin Wyoming, to the east.
Filing this Federal Unit application is made in the interest of the obtaining the greatest ultimate recovery of oil and gas and the conservation of natural resources in this large leasehold position.
The Wind River project has the potential to produce from several formations. The initial drilling program is focused on the Frontier zone.
Analog Frontier Fields:
Powder River Basin – Spearhead Ranch has produced to date:
- 9,698,788 barrels oil
- 60,454,165 MCF gas
Wind River Basin - Riverton Dome has produced to date:
- 4,646,398 barrels oil
- 221,897,629 MCF gas
- All production from vertical wells
Foothills’ acreage is in this large undrilled area and is along the eastern flank of a deeper sub basin in the Wind River Basin proper. Here a deep structural deposit called the Beaver Creek field has produced approximately 73.3 million barrels of oil and 934,781,606MCF of gas. The Big Sand Draw field, updip to the south, has produced 62.0 million barrels of oil and 256,678,537 MCF of gas from multi-pay horizons. These are generally in the Frontier, Muddy, Lakota, Morrison, Phosphoria, Tensleep and Madison formations.
