Trio Petroleum Corporation's Operational Update
Company Details Plans to Increase Production
Trio Petroleum Corp (NYSE American: TPET), a prominent oil and gas company headquartered in California, recently shared exciting operational updates regarding its oil and gas assets. The update outlines the specific actions Trio is undertaking to enhance daily oil and gas production as it focuses on its three main projects.
Insights into McCool Ranch Field
The McCool Ranch Field has demonstrated stable production metrics, averaging about 20 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) from its HH-1 and 35X wells. The company is diligently working on strategies to augment oil production in this area.
Future Projects for Increased Production
- The Company intends to carry out acidizing processes on the HH-1 and 35X wells, which is anticipated to lead to a significant boost in oil production.
- Planning is underway to reactivate operations in the 58X, HH-3, and HH-4 wells in the upcoming months, further contributing to production levels.
- Moreover, preparations for cyclic-steam operations are in process. Historically, the introduction of steam in 2014-2015 saw a remarkable increase in oil output from 30 BOPD to a peak of around 400 BOPD over a nine-month timeframe.
Progress at Presidents Field, South Salinas Project
At the South Salinas Project, Trio has achieved initial oil sales from the HV-3A well. Production strategies here are set to evolve with potential acid treatments and the addition of perforations across proven oil zones.
Enhancements in Production
- The Company expects significant results from workovers at HV-3A, including acidizing and perforating the currently accessible 250 feet of perforations, targeting a minimum output of 30 BOPD.
- There is optimism that the implementation of these methods could potentially enhance oil rates beyond initial forecasts.
Update on Asphalt Ridge Operations
Asphalt Ridge, recognized for its extensive tar-sand deposits, is now showing progress with the HSO 2-4 well, which is currently using a downhole heater. The operator, Valkor LLC, estimates production could stabilize at approximately 40 BOPD.
Future Prospects for Asphalt Ridge
- Exciting news is anticipated with upcoming operations at the 8-4 well utilizing downhole heater technology as well.
- By year’s end, Trio expects to have an additional well in operation at Asphalt Ridge, further enhancing the overall production output.
- Valkor LLC projects that these three wells combined could achieve an output of about 120-150 BOPD, solidifying the project's significance.
“We are thrilled to provide these operational updates regarding our key oil and gas assets,” stated Robin Ross, CEO of Trio.
