Trio provided the below update on Aug 7th :
PR Spring, Uintah, Utah
Testing continues with downhole heaters to be followed by chemical squeeze at nearby Asphalt Ridge's two test wells to determine the most economical oil extraction process. Asphalt Ridge is located in the same Uintah Basin as PR Spring with similar geology and formations.
PR Spring is known to be located in one of the largest tar-sand deposits in North America outside of Canada, and establishing first-oil at this project is of utmost significance to the Company.
Trio has an option to acquire 2000 acres.
Contains an estimated 6.75 billion barrels or OOIP within the Uintah basin boundary.*
Ultimate recovery of 300,000 barrels of oil per well.*
2000 acre parcel will support up to 1000 wells.*
Potential to provide upwards of 50,000 barrels a day when fully developed with approximate 20-year life.*
Initial total drilling and completion cost of less than $800,000 per well and declining with scale.*
Trio's obligation is subject to the two test wells previously drilled at Asphalt Ridge producing 80 BOPD combined for 30 consecutive days.

Very slow progress and still no news on the samples which suggests QED still have not received samples that are not contaminated.No wonder Utah was not mentioned on the recent email from the company.
