Trio Petroleum Overview
To bring you up to speed, Trio Petroleum is an oil and gas exploration and development company focused on strategic, high-growth energy projects in the consumer-rich market of California.
Trio’s flagship asset is its 9,267-acre South Salinas Project, located in Monterrey California, in which the company owns an 85.75% working interest.
South Salinas is a significant oil and gas-producing asset for Trio, with an estimated 39.0 million barrels of oil (MMBO) and 40.0 billion cubic feet of gas (BCFG) in probable underdeveloped reserves.
Moreover, the Company has the potential to unlock an additional 92.4 MMBO and 148.8 BCFG in possible undeveloped reserves.
The combined value of these reserves is projected to produce over $6.356 billion in net cash flows or $1.998 billion at a 10% discount.
Incredibly, Trio currently trades at a market value of just $33 million despite owning a project with the potential to be a multi-billion dollar asset.
Better yet, this is just one of Trio’s oil and gas projects meaning that there is even more untapped value to be discovered
Trio Management
While the market may not realize it, one thing is for certain, Trio’s management team does not miss when it comes to discovering and developing high-value oil and gas projects.
Led by CEO Frank Ingriselli, Trio Petroleum is guided by one of the most experienced professionals in the oil and gas business.

Trio Strikes Oil!
Moving on to the Company’s latest developments, Trio Petroleum just announced that its HV-1 well confirmed a major oil and gas accumulation at its flagship South Salinas Project.
This is exciting news as the Company was able to execute its drilling program much quicker than anticipated, and is now in a position to accelerate its development plans to commercialize and produce from the asset.
The HV-1 well was drilled on a new oil and natural gas field called the Presidents Field, which was selected based on the interpretation of three-dimensional seismic data aimed at confirming and defining the magnitude of the oil reserve.
In total, the well drilled through approximately 1,800 feet of the Monterey Formation and discovered major signs of oil and gas before reaching a final depth of 6,631 feet.
This is a promising indication that Trio’s assessment of South Salinas is accurate, especially given that the HV-1 well is a two-mile step-out from Trio’s HV-3A discovery well where high-quality, mid-gravity oil was found at depths between 3,750 to 5,100 feet.
Soon, Trio plans to initiate testing and producing from the HV-1 well, followed up by more drilling at the Company’s HV-2 and HV-4 wells.
When discussing the results at HV-1, CEO Frank Ingriselli said, “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.”
Strengthening its Project Portfolio
Beyond the South Salinas Project, Trio Petroleum is making moves to expand, diversify and strengthen its oil and gas project portfolio.
Most recently, the Company announced that it is signing an Acquisition Agreement to potentially acquire up to 100% of the working interest in the Union Avenue Field, located in Bakersfield, California.
Union Avenue is a mature field that historically produced roughly 2.3 million barrels of oil and 1.2 billion cubic feet of gas.
However, the project still has significant long-term, oil-production potential, including a partly-developed, new-pool discovery.
Ensuring that they perform proper due diligence, Trio’s management engaged KLS Petroleum Consulting LLC, an independent engineering firm, to conduct a comprehensive analysis and valuation of the asset.
The analysis of Union Avenue is now complete and has been returned to Trio for further evaluation.
In addition to Union Avenue, Trio Petroleum has the exclusive options to acquire 22% of the Kern Front Project and 44% of the Hangman Hollow Field.
The Kern Front Project runs along the Northern extension of Kern Front Field, while the Hangman Hollow Field is a developed oil field (discovered in 2011) with six oil wells and one water disposal well, as well as existing infrastructure.
In all, these projects have the potential to help Trio Petroleum become cash flow positive, thus solidifying its business and increasing value for shareholders.
