Summary
Trio Petroleum is offering for sale their operating entity or their operated portfolio, which includes four operated oil properties located in California’s Salinas and San Joaquin Basins: Kern Front, South Salinas, McCool Ranch and Union Avenue. These four properties offer production, immediate production upside, drill ready permits and large undeveloped reserves. The individual properties are well-suited for buyers looking for operated positions or joint venture development opportunities.
Across all four properties, there are more than 200 potential drilling locations identified using modern 3-D seismic. Existing infrastructure includes well pads, pipelines, and facilities. Near-term projects could add more than 600 BOPD through workovers and restarts. Long-term development targets the Monterey Formation, Vaqueros Sandstone and Santa Margarita reservoirs. This four-part package offers large reserves, established facilities, and strong potential for growth and enhanced recovery.
Property & Project Highlights:
- 4-Operated Properties. Kern Front, South Salinas, McCool Ranch and Union Avenue.
- Kern & Monterey Cos., California.
- Behind-Pipe & New Drill Reserves. Permits In Hand For Key Wells.
- 200+ Potential Drilling Locations Incl 156 In South Salinas Field.

Project Summaries:
1---
Kern Front is the newest project in the package and represents a near-term, low-risk heavy oil development opportunity located on the northern extension of California's prolific Kern Front Field. Following first production in May 2026, the project has established production from newly drilled wells, installed modern field infrastructure, and assembled a significant inventory of future drilling locations. The combination of existing production, substantial remaining oil in place, low-depth conventional reservoirs, and a fully permitted produced-water management system provides a platform for scalable development. Historical offset well performance and recent drilling results support management's view that the project offers meaningful upside through both primary recovery and future enhanced oil recovery (EOR) initiatives.

South Salinas is the largest development property in the package. It includes two major fields, Humpback and Presidents, and has 2- active permits ready for drilling. The estimated oil in place is about 2.2 billion bbls, and the estimated gas in place is about 1.3 trillion cubic feet. A 2024 reserve report filed with the SEC shows a PV10 value of over $130 million for phased development. Additional upside includes a workover on the HV-3A well, which could open 975 feet of new perforations, and potential for carbon capture and enhanced oil recovery using existing CRC pipelines.
