yolowire.com – A California-based energy company is gaining some serious steam so far during Tuesday’s session after the company provided updates on its recently completed drilling activities in Uintah County, Utah. According to the release, the company has successfully drilled its first two exploratory wells and the wells “encountered substantial oil-bearing pay zones in the Rimrock and Asphalt Ridge Sandstones.”
Traders were quick to snatch up shares of TrioPetroleum Corp. (NYSE TPET), with some traders buying up shares all the way up to $0.52/share (+126.09%) at the early session high. This move could be an indication of things to come as it appears this stock has found support recently following a rebound from its 52-week low.
