Boca Raton, Florida., Sept. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Trio Petroleum Corp (NYSE American: TPET) (“Trio” or the “Company”), today announced the acquisition by its Canadian subsidiary of 24 oil wells, with 4 producing and 20 shut-in heavy-oil assets, from Marlin Resources Ltd. (“Marlin”), an active operator in Saskatchewan’s Lloydminster region.
The acquisition would combine approximately 37 barrels of oil per day (“BOPD”) of current production with identified existing-well workover upside, a significant new multilateral drilling opportunity and strategically positioned disposal infrastructure. This transaction represents another achievement in Trio’s strategy to build a substantially larger Canadian oil and gas business.
Cummings Multilateral plus Existing Well Workover Growth Opportunity
A central development opportunity within the Marlin acquisition is a proposed Cummings multilateral well on the N/2 of Section 9-48-23W3. The proposed well would use multiple horizontal branches from a single surface location to access approximately 4,000 meters of target Cummings reservoir. Trio estimates a CDN$1.2 million drilling and development budget which includes drilling, completion and equipping the well for production. Nearby, a Cummings multilateral development by Canadian Natural Resources (“CNRL”) and other operators support the broader development concept as similar Cummings wells are producing approximately 375 BOPD, thereby supporting adding a major drilling component to the production upside identified in the existing well inventory. In addition, Trio has budgeted a CDN$425,000 workover, reactivation and recompletion program targeting additional production.
Terms
As consideration of the 24 wells, Trio is paying CDN$800,000 in cash and transferring to Marlin an underutilized water disposal asset. The cash purchase price and anticipated development and workover expenses will be funded from Trio’s cash on hand.
Strategic Water Disposal Facility
As part of the transaction, Trio is acquiring a water disposal facility that is better located to support Trio’s existing wells, the acquired wells and future development. The improved location is expected to reduce water-hauling distances and disposal costs while creating opportunities for third-party water-disposal and associated skim-oil revenue.
Robin Ross, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Trio Petroleum Corp, stated “We expect this transaction to be far more than the production being acquired today. The existing-well workover program provides a defined path intended to materially increase production, while the Cummings multilateral well adds a significant new drilling opportunity on the acquired lands. Based on current production, we estimate the purchase price per flowing barrel represents a discount to the average market price for comparable producing assets. This acquisition represents another important step in growing Trio’s Canadian asset base.”
