Trio Petroleum Corp (NYSE American: TPET) has provided updates on its Asphalt Ridge Project in Uintah County, Utah. The company has secured a two-month extension on its option to acquire an additional 17.75% working interest in 960 acres, now expiring on December 10, 2024. TPET currently owns a 2.25% working interest in this area.

The company has successfully drilled and completed two exploratory wells, HSO 2-4 and HSO 8-4, encountering substantial oil-bearing pay zones. Initial test results from the HSO 2-4 well, which began production on September 12, 2024, have been encouraging. The Asphalt Ridge Project is considered one of the largest tar-sand deposits in North America outside of Canada, with potential for significant oil production.

A typical project well has an estimated ultimate recovery of 300,000 barrels of oil with an initial production rate of approximately 40 barrels per day. The low wax and negligible sulfur content of the oil make it potentially desirable for various industries, including shipping.

Trio Petroleum Corp (NYSE American: TPET) ha fornito aggiornamenti sul suo Asphalt Ridge Project nella contea di Uintah, Utah. L'azienda ha ottenuto un'estensione di due mesi per l'opzione di acquisire un ulteriore 17,75% di interesse operativo su 960 acri, che scadrà il 10 dicembre 2024. TPET possiede attualmente un interesse operativo del 2,25% in quest'area.

L'azienda ha completato con successo la perforazione di due pozzi esplorativi, HSO 2-4 e HSO 8-4, trovando zone di estrazione di petrolio significative. I risultati iniziali dei test del pozzo HSO 2-4, che ha iniziato la produzione il 12 settembre 2024, sono stati incoraggianti. L'Asphalt Ridge Project è considerato uno dei più grandi giacimenti di sabbie bituminose in Nord America al di fuori del Canada, con potenziale per una produzione significativa di petrolio.

Un tipico pozzo di progetto ha un recupero finale stimato di 300.000 barili di petrolio con un tasso di produzione iniziale di circa 40 barili al giorno. Il basso contenuto di cera e l'insignificante contenuto di zolfo del petrolio lo rendono potenzialmente desiderabile per vari settori, incluso quello dello shipping.

전형적인 프로젝트 유정은 약 300,000배럴의 석유를 회수할 수 있으며 초기 생산률은 약 40배럴입니다. 석유의 낮은 왁스 함량과 무시할 수 있는 황 함량은 해운 산업을 포함한 다양한 산업에 대해 잠재적으로 매력적입니다.

Le projet Asphalt Ridge est considéré comme l'un des plus grands gisements de sables bitumineux en Amérique du Nord, en dehors du Canada, avec un potentiel de production pétrolière significatif.

Un puits typique du projet a une récupération ultime estimée à 300 000 barils de pétrole avec un taux de production initial d'environ 40 barils par jour. La faible teneur en cires et la quantité négligeable de soufre du pétrole en font un produit potentiellement désirable pour diverses industries, y compris le transport maritime.

Das Unternehmen hat erfolgreich zwei Erkundungsbohrungen, HSO 2-4 und HSO 8-4, gebohrt und abgeschlossen, wobei substanzielle ölhaltige Zonen gefunden wurden. Die ersten Testresultate des Bohrlochs HSO 2-4, das am 12. September 2024 die Produktion aufgenommen hat, sind vielversprechend. Das Asphalt Ridge Project wird als eines der größten Teersandvorkommen in Nordamerika außerhalb Kanadas angesehen, mit Potenzial für eine signifikante Ölproduktion.

Ein typisches Projektbohrloch hat eine geschätzte endgültige Förderung von 300.000 Barrel Öl mit einer anfänglichen Produktionsrate von etwa 40 Barrel pro Tag. Der niedrige Wachsstoff- und vernachlässigbare Schwefelgehalt des Öls macht es potenziell für verschiedene Industrien, einschließlich des Schiffsverkehrs, attraktiv.

  • Encouraging initial test results from the HSO 2-4 well, showing significant oil cut
  • Option secured to acquire additional working interest in the Asphalt Ridge Project
  • Potential for high profitability due to the project's scale and oil quality

Bakersfield, CA, Oct. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trio Petroleum Corp (NYSE American: “TPET”, “Trio” or the “Company”), a California-based oil and gas company, today provided updates on its Asphalt Ridge Project in Uintah County, Utah.

TPET announced on January 5, 2024, that it had secured an option (the “Option”) to acquire a 20% interest in a sweet (i.e., low sulfur content), heavy-oil and tar-sand development project at Asphalt Ridge, located near the town of Vernal in Uintah County, northeastern Utah. We announced on June 11, 2024, the successful drilling and completion of the first two exploratory wells at the project, the HSO 2-4 and HSO 8-4, that the wells encountered substantial oil-bearing pay zones in the Rimrock and Asphalt Ridge tar-sands (over 190’of oil-pay in HSO 2-4 and over 100’ of oil-pay in HSO 8-4), and that a downhole-heater was installed in the HSO 2-4 well. On September 12, 2024, Trio announced oil production from its first well HSO 2-4.

Initial test results at the HSO 2-4 well have since been encouraging, with mobile oil and fluids already showing a significant oil cut while dewatering occurs. The fluids are a result of an initial temperature test where water was pumped downhole which will not be done in the future.

TPET currently owns a 2.25% working interest in 960 acres at Asphalt Ridge, and under the Option may acquire up to an additional 17.75% working interest in the same 960 acres and also a 20% interest in an adjacent 1,920 acres, and also has a right of first refusal to participate in an additional approximate 30,000 acres of the greater Asphalt Ridge Project on terms offered to other third parties. TPET has secured a two-month Option extension and now has until December 10, 2024, to exercise its right to acquire the remaining 17.75% interest in the initial 960 acres. TPET has until the earlier of the successful drilling and completion of 50 new wells, or November 10, 2025, to exercise its option on the adjacent 1,920 acres.

The Asphalt Ridge Project is known to be one of the largest tar-sand deposits in North America outside of Canada, making it a potential giant oilfield, and is unique given its low wax and negligible sulfur content, which is expected to make the oil very desirable for many industries, including shipping. The project has the potential to be both immense and highly profitable. A typical project well has an estimated ultimate recovery (“EUR”) of 300,000 barrels of oil with an initial production rate of approximately 40 barrels of oil per day.
