REFINERY PROJECT  
NOTE 6 - REFINERY PROJECT

On March 4, 2017, we entered into an agreement with Maple Resources, a related party, to acquire all of Maple’s right, title and interest (the “Rights”) in plans to build a crude oil refinery in Pecos County, Texas (the “Refinery Transaction”).  On July 28, 2017, we acquired a 126-acre parcel of the land, which is the site for our project, at a purchase price of $550 per acre, or $67,088.

 

The focus of our current business plan is to build crude oil distillation units and refining facilities in the Permian Basin in West Texas (hereinafter referred to as the “Projects”, or the “Distillation Unit” or the “CDU” or the “Refinery”). We intend to implement our current business plan now in several phases, First, through our subsidiary, Pecos Refining, we intend to build and commence operation of one 10,000 bpd crude oil Distillation Unit, now permitted by the TCEQ, that will produce a non-transportation grade diesel primarily for sale in the local market for drilling mud and frac fluids, along with naphtha and residual fuel oil to be sold to other refiners. In additional phases as separate projects we are contemplating building a second and possibly a third CDU with capacity of 10,000 bpd each. We contemplate that these projects will be built on land owned or land being negotiated for purchase by the Company. As of this date, we also are in negotiations to acquire an existing refinery in the Louisiana Gulf Coast-Mississippi River area with a capacity of 46,000 bpd (the “Louisiana Gulf Project”).   Our ability to implement this business plan will depend upon the availability of debt and equity financing, as to which there can be no assurance.
