Oil Shale vs. Shale Oil: What’s The Difference?
Survey Notes, v. 44 no. 3, September 2012
TomCo's oils shale assets span twenty five parcels of land in the Uinta basin, Utah
Our nine oil shale leases comprise of twenty-five blocks covering 15,488 acres in Uintah County, Utah
TomCo engaged SRK to complete an independent technical review of two oil shale leases, ML 49570 and ML 49571, and we were pleased to announce the results of their technical review on 18 March 2019, which provided a best estimate Contingent Resources (2C) of, in aggregate, 131.3 million barrels of oil assessed under Petroleum Resources Management System (“PRMS”) guidelines, plus a best estimate Prospective Resource (2U) of, in aggregate, 442.8 million barrels oil across the two leases.
One of the TomCo parcels of land covered by ML49571 is in part of an area termed the Holliday Block A and is where the 2018 and 2019 Field Tests took place, with 2C Contingent Resources of 57.3 million barrels of oil and 2U Prospective Resources of 84.7 million barrels of oil.
Leases ML48801, ML48802, ML48803, ML48806, ML49236, ML49237 and ML50151 comprise, in aggregate, 12,569 acres and are estimated to contain over 1.2 billion barrels of potential oil (as measured by the United States Geological Society) based on the projected thickness of the known oil shale zones.
Location of our oil shale leases
TomCo holds nine separate Mineral Leases, being ML49570, ML49571, ML48801, ML48802, ML48803, ML48806, ML49236, ML49237 and ML50151. All of these are in the Uinta Basin and together they cover a total land holding of 15,488 acres. They are also underlain by the Green River Shale Formation, which is the largest known oil shale deposit in the world.
