Laredo Oil (LRDC) has announced the initiation of preparations for drilling three exploratory wells in its West Fork field in Montana, where the company holds over 30,000 net acres of mineral rights north of the Fort Peck reservation. The company is raising up to $7.5 million to fund the drilling project.

Preliminary work has begun, including 2-D seismic data acquisition, drilling location selection, permit applications, and vendor securing. Management believes the West Fork field could potentially contain oil reserves comparable to the Lustre field, which has produced approximately 7.5 million barrels of oil since its 1981 Exxon discovery. Upon successful exploration, Laredo Oil plans to implement an aggressive drilling program for full field development.

Laredo Oil (LRDC) ha annunciato l'inizio dei preparativi per la perforazione di tre pozzi esplorativi nel suo campo West Fork nel Montana, dove la compagnia detiene oltre 30.000 acri netti di diritti minerari a nord della riserva di Fort Peck. L'azienda sta raccogliendo fino a 7,5 milioni di dollari per finanziare il progetto di perforazione.

È iniziato il lavoro preliminare, che include l', la selezione delle posizioni per la perforazione, le domande di autorizzazione e la scelta dei fornitori. La direzione crede che il campo West Fork potrebbe contenere potenzialmente riserve di petrolio paragonabili a quelle del campo Lustre, che ha prodotto circa 7,5 milioni di barili di petrolio dalla sua scoperta da parte di Exxon nel 1981. In caso di esplorazione riuscita, Laredo Oil prevede di attuare un programma di perforazione aggressivo per lo sviluppo completo del campo.

라레도 오일(LRDC)는 몬태나의 웨스트 포크 유전에서 세 개의 탐사 우물을 뚫기 위한 준비를 시작했다고 발표했습니다. 이 회사는 포트 펙 보호구역 북쪽에 30,000 에이커 이상의 광물권을 보유하고 있습니다. 회사는 시추 프로젝트에 필요한 자금을 지원하기 위해 최대 750만 달러를 모금하고 있습니다.

기초 작업이 시작되었으며, 여기에는 2-D 지진 데이터 수집, 시추 장소 선정, 허가 신청 및 공급업체 계약이 포함됩니다. 경영진은 웨스트 포크 유전이 1981년 엑손의 발견 이후 약 750만 배럴의 석유를 생산한 러스터 유전과 유사한 석유 매장량을 포함하고 있을 가능성이 있다고 믿고 있습니다. 탐사가 성공하면 라레도 오일은 전체 유전 개발을 위한 공격적인 시추 프로그램을 실시할 계획입니다.

Das Unternehmen plant, bis zu 7,5 Millionen Dollar zur Finanzierung des Bohrprojekts zu sammeln.

Die vorläufigen Arbeiten haben begonnen, dazu gehören die 2-D seismische Datenerhebung, die Auswahl der Bohrstandorte, die Beantragung von Genehmigungen und die Sicherstellung von Lieferanten. Die Geschäftsführung ist der Meinung, dass das West Fork-Feld potenziell Ölreserven enthalten könnte, die mit dem Lustre-Feld vergleichbar sind, das seit seiner Entdeckung durch Exxon im Jahr 1981 etwa 7,5 Millionen Barrel Öl produziert hat. Nach erfolgreicher Exploration plant Laredo Oil, ein aggressives Bohrprogramm für die vollständige Entwicklung des Feldes umzusetzen.

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Laredo Oil, Inc. ("Laredo Oil") (OTC Pink Sheets: LRDC), an oil exploration and production company with over 30,000 net acres of mineral rights in the West Fork field located north of the Fort Peck reservation in Montana, today announced that it has initiated preparations to drill the first of three planned exploratory wells in the field.

Mark See, Chairman and CEO of Laredo Oil, commented "As previously reported, we are raising up to $7.5 million to drill three exploratory oil wells located in the West Fork prospect field.  We have raised funds to begin preliminary work, including acquiring 2-D seismic data, selecting drilling locations, filing for permits and securing vendors for other drilling functions.
