Tri-Valley Oil & Gas Co. (TVOG) said Thursday that it has begun farming out working interest units in its Oil Creek play near Coalinga, CA. TVOG said it has mapped a potential of six separate pay zones to 12,500 feet in the exploratory wildcat prospect, which is north along the trend of the giant Kettleman North Dome Field. The company speculates an unproved potential of up to 125 million barrels of oil and up to 375 Bcf of natural gas from the multiple targets. Project costs are estimated in the range of $3.5 million, including drilling and completing the initial test well.
