Notice the final paragraph, they looking for a JV. Thats the likely option.
OVERVIEW
Oil and gas asset located in the Paradox Basin in Utah, USA
Earning 75% working interest in over 80,000 net acres, including a 75% working interest in an additional 3,320 gross acres (2,490 net) acquired in April 2018
Targeting the Paradox Clastics Formations (multiple target levels) and Leadville Limestone
Completed 3D seismic shoot over 40 sq miles within the Gunnison Valley Unit in October 2017 to identify drill targets in the Paradox Formations (fracture swarms) and additional potential within the Leadville Limestone (directly below the Paradox formations)
A Competent Person’s Report by Gaffney Cline & Associates, published in June 2018, determined gross contingent resources (2C) of 15.61 million barrels of oil and 31.23 billion cubic feet of gas with a NPV net to Rose of US$122.4 million. That report focused solely on the area covered by a 3D seismic survey, completed in October 2017, of approximately 17,250 acres and focused solely on the single Cane Creek reservoir (Clastic 21)
The report shows an upgrade from Prospective to Contingent Resources for Clastic 21 within the specified area. This is due to the ability to tie the 3D seismic data into the producing well 28-11 and map the maximum extent of the producing field within this area. The initial appraisal wells are designed to test the viability of the fracture network and to potentially prove the extent and commerciality of the field
Further details of the CPR report are available on this website in the Investors Area, under Latest Press Releases
Previously, in 2014, the independent consultant Ryder Scott reported net un-risked prospective recoverable resources of over 1.1 billion barrels of oil and up to 2.2 TCF cubic feet of gas within the Paradox Formations
Extensive infrastructure in place including road, rail, gathering and major gas pipelines and oil refineries in close proximity
A farm-in process to involve potential development and financial partners continues – now supported by the CPR independently validating the geological and economic strength of the project.
