PetroGas Company Press Release:
HOUSTON, TX — (Marketwired) — 02/26/18 — PetroGas Company, Inc. (OTC PINK: PTCO) (“PetroGas” or “the Company”), today announced that it has acquired interests in oil and gas mineral rights in Terry County, Texas.
The interests consist of a minority stake in two large sections of three different surveys in the county totaling 1,600 acres. Terry County has over 3,600 drilled wells with top producing operators including Apache Corporation and Exxon’s XTO Energy. Terry is a proven oil and gas production area.
“We’re delighted to have been able to close on this purchase during a time when oil and gas prices are hovering at 3-year highs. We believe that owning a stake in the largest petroleum-producing basin in the US is an achievement in itself and we plan to continue pursuing opportunities throughout the US as they become available to us,” said the CEO of PetroGas Company.
About The Permian Basin
The Permian Basin is the largest petroleum-producing basin in the United States and has produced a cumulative 28.9 billion barrels of oil and 75 trillion cubic feet of gas. Currently, nearly 2.8 million barrels of oil a day are being pumped from the basin. It has been estimated by the EIA that the remaining content was 43 billion barrels of oil and 18 trillion cu. ft. of gas; however, some experts claim the content is much bigger than expected, half a trillion barrels or even 2 trillion barrels. Eighty percent of estimated reserves are located at less than 10,000-foot (3,000 m) depth.
