TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – Oct. 25, 2016) – MCW Energy Group Limited (“MCW”) (TSX VENTURE:MCW), (OTCQX:MCWEF), a Canadian holding company involved in the development of environmentally-friendly oil sands technologies, the production of oil from Utah’s vast oil sands deposits, and remediation projects involving extraction of contaminating hydrocarbons, today announced key elements of a working program for Q4-2016 to Q1-2017 between its two lease properties at Asphalt Ridge, Utah.
Encouraged by the upward trend of world oil prices now hovering at the $ 50.00 bbl. price benchmark, MCW has developed a plan focusing on the reduction of production costs and at the same time completing its previously announced increase of production levels from 250 bbl/day to 500 bbl/day capacity. During 2015, MCW produced 10,000 bbl. and sold close to 6,000 bbl. to the Utah market. The average cost per barrel at the MCW plant site in Maeser, Utah is $ 31.00 – $ 33.00 USD (Validated by Nexant, Inc., 2016). MCW’s production plan include:
- MCW will move its extraction plant to the Temple Mountain site. Since the Temple Mountain site is privately owned, having the plant there will cause a reduction in the environmental and regulatory costs. Currently at a 250 bbl/day production level, the relocation of this plant will also save $ 7.60 per barrel on freight/transportation costs. (Validated by Nexant, Inc., 2016). Built in a modular format, the plant can be easily disassembled, then re-assembled within 90 days.
- After re-assembling at the Temple Mountain site and the augmentation to 500 bbl/day unit, the MCW commercial plant is expected to commence production during the Spring of 2017. Between MCW’s two leases there is a mineable total resource of approximately 87 million bbl of oil.
