Low Float (TPET) Is A Nasdaq Oil And Gas Explorer Sitting On A "Major Accumulation" At Their South Salinas Project

June 29th

SCF Readers,

The year 2023 holds immense potential for growth stories in the energy sector.

Despite the recent fluctuations in oil prices, big oil players have pro-fited immensely from the surge in price in the wake of Russia's war in Ukraine.

And even with the growing emphasis on renewable energy sources, the demand for oil and natural gas remains strong.

The global population continues to grow, and emerging economies require substantial energy resources to fuel their development.

As a result, oil and gas exploration companies are well-positioned to meet this demand and capitalize on market trends.

Furthermore, market trends indicate that fossil fuels will continue to play a significant role in the energy mix for the foreseeable future.

While renewable energy sources are gaining traction, the affordability and security of supply offered by oil and natural gas make them indispensable in meeting global energy needs.

Plus, OPEC+'s recent announcement regarding a production cut has significantly impacted oil price projections for 2023 and beyond.

As a result of this optimistic development, Daan Struyven, senior energy economist at Goldman Sachs Commodities Research, has raised his oil price forecast, anticipating that Brent crude oil will escalate to $95 per barrel by December 2023, and to $100 per barrel from April 2024 and onwards.

One California oil and gas explorer could be in a prime position to capitalize on current and future market conditions.

With recent news of a "major accumulation of oil and gas" at the company's main asset project, it may just be a matter of time until Wall Street wakes up to this hidden gem.

But before that happens, you'll want to get this low float (fewer than 8Mn shares) Nasdaq profile on your radar immediately:

*Trio Petroleum Corp. (TPET)*

Trio Petroleum Corp is an oil and gas exploration and development company headquartered in Bakersfield, California, with operations in Monterey County, California. Trio has a large, approximately 9,267-acre asset called the “South Salinas Project” where it owns an 85.75% working interest.

Trio’s near-term plans include testing and producing the HV-1 well, and then drilling the HV-2 and HV-4 wells. Previous operations on this asset have successfully drilled two (2) production/discovery wells (i.e., the HV-3A and BM 2-2 wells) that Trio now owns.

And right now, TPET has several potential catalysts to focus in on ahead of Friday's opening bell. Check them out:

No. 1 - Strong Volatility Potential Could Be Significant Based On TPET's Low Float

No. 2 - Major News Announcement: Company Confirms Oil And Gas Accumulation

No. 3 - Signing Key Acquisition Agreement Could Lead To TPET Becoming Cash Flow Positive

No. 4 - Added Company Exposure In 2023 From Listing To NYSE American Exchange

No. 2 TPET Potential Breakout Catalyst - Major News Announcement: Company Confirms Oil And Gas Accumulation

Trio Petroleum Corp Announces that the HV-1 Well has Confirmed a Major Oil and Gas Accumulation in the Presidents Field of its South Salinas Project

Oil and Gas Production Rates at the HV-1 Discovery Well to be Determined and Announced after Final Completion Operations

DANVILLE, CA, May 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trio Petroleum Corp. (NYSE American: TPET) (“Trio”), an oil and gas exploration and development company focused on strategic, high-growth energy projects in California, today announced that its HV-1 well has confirmed that there is a major accumulation of oil and gas in the Presidents Field in its South Salinas Project located in Monterey County, California.

The HV-1 well is a two-mile step-out from Trio’s HV-3A discovery well that found high-quality, mid-gravity oil at depths between 3,750 to 5,100 feet. The HV-1 well drilled through approximately 1,800 feet of the Monterey Formation with major indications of oil and gas prior to reaching total depth at 6,631 feet. The company is currently running well casing from surface to total depth to properly complete the well, and is commencing its evaluation of the well data collected.

...

The HV-1 well was drilled on a new oil and natural gas field that the company refers to as the Presidents Field, as described in the company’s public filings with the SEC and on the company’s website. The Presidents Field is a large oil and gas development project located in the company’s South Salinas Project in Monterey County, California. The HV-1 well location was chosen based on interpretation of three-dimensional seismic data with the goal of confirming and defining the magnitude of this new oil and gas field, in which Trio owns an 85.75% working interest.

Mr. Frank Ingriselli, Trio’s Chief Executive Officer, commented “We are very excited and pleased with our discovery of oil and gas at the HV-1 well and with the positive impact that we expect this well will have on Trio’s future and our commitment to grow shareholder value. We plan to put the HV-1 well on production after we finalize completion operations and our evaluation of the new data we are acquiring from the well, after which we will have a better understanding of production rates, which we plan to announce when available.

No. 3 TPET Potential Breakout Catalyst - Signing Key Acquisition Agreement Could Lead To TPET Becoming Cash Flow Positive

Trio Petroleum Corp. Signs Acquisition Agreement to Acquire up to 100% of Producing Asset

Union Avenue Field is Located in Bakersfield, California

DANVILLE, CA, May 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trio Petroleum Corp. (NYSE American: TPET) (“Trio”), an oil and gas exploration and development company focused on strategic, high growth energy projects in California, today announced the signing of an Acquisition Agreement dated May 11, 2023 (the “Agreement”) to potentially acquire up to 100% of the working interest in the Union Avenue Field (“Union Avenue”) located in Bakersfield, California.

The Agreement is between Trio Petroleum Corp. and Trio Petroleum LLC, on behalf of itself as Operator and holding a 20% working interest in Union Avenue as well as to facilitate the remaining 80% working interest holders (“Sellers”). As Trio Petroleum LLC is partly owned and controlled by members of Trio’s management, this would be a related party transaction, and a special committee of Trio’s board of directors (the “Trio Special Committee”) has been formed to evaluate and negotiate the terms of this acquisition.

Trio has engaged KLS Petroleum Consulting LLC, an independent engineering firm, to conduct a comprehensive analysis and valuation of the asset, which analysis has been delivered to the Company and is being evaluated by the Trio Special Committee.

Union Avenue is a mature field that has produced an approximate cumulative 2.3 million barrels of oil and 1.2 billion cubic feet of gas, with significant remaining long-term, oil-production potential, including from a recent, partly-developed, new-pool discovery. Acquisition of Union Avenue could help Trio to become cash flow positive.

If final terms are agreed between Trio and the Sellers, the transaction is expected to close within 60 days. Consideration for the acquisition is expected to be paid by Trio through a combination of cash and Trio’s common st.ock.

Mr. Frank Ingriselli, Trio’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Trio is in an optimal position to capitalize on the acquisition of this producing oil asset, thereby capturing what we believe to be economically valuable for our shareholders. As we continue to develop our South Salinas Project and expand our portfolio, we are confident that our strategic growth initiatives will drive sustainable success and deliver economic returns. We remain committed to leveraging our expertise, resources, and market insights to maximize synergies and unlock the full potential of our acquisitions, solidifying our position as a leader in the industry.
