Receives Final Petrophysics Report on its Orogrande Basin Project
PLANO, TX / ACCESSWIRE / April 15, 2019 / Torchlight Energy Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRCH) ('Torchlight' or the 'Company'), today announced that the Company has received the final petrophysical report relating to its Orogrande Basin Project. The report will be utilized in the delivery of due diligence materials to industry suitors for potential M&A discussions with Torchlight. The final report, prepared by Stimulation Petrophysics Consulting out of Denver, outlines the potential recoverable reserves from the unconventional zones on Torchlight's 134,000 acres in the Orogrande Basin. The Orogrande is the western most sub-basin of the Greater Permian Basin.
The extensive report outlines a range of recoverable values based on standardized recovery factors. Described in Potential Barrels.
Low Case 2,321 MMBOe Recovery Factor (7%)
Mean Case 3,678 MMBOe Recovery Factor (11%)
Best Case 4,975 MMBOe Recovery Factor (15%)
The following updates were previously disclosed:
'We are pleased to provide this substantive update to shareholders and the broader oil and gas industry,' stated John Brda, Torchlight's CEO. 'Torchlight's board of directors and management feel that the third-party evaluation and resulting estimate of 3.7 billion barrels of potential recoverable oil at a 11% is a significant revelation. Although the cost to acquire the voluminous amount of science needed for this 3rd party evaluation was quite significant, we are obviously very pleased with the end results. It is unique to find a new basin predominately owned by one exploration company and with agreeable lease terms such as those we have with University Lands. As we enter and continue discussions with suitors, Torchlight will better define the current market value for one of the largest virgin onshore oil and gas basin discoveries in the United States in recent history. We look forward to reporting the impact of such value to our shareholder's ownership.'
Torchlight intends to provide subsequent updates regarding further analysis and additional data relating to its Orogrande Project marketing process in the near future.
