Nevada's Only Refinery Is Switching On -- Just as the West Loses the Capacity It Can't ReplaceJune 22, 2026 10:38 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of Sky Quarry Inc.After a period of repairs and balance-sheet work, Sky Quarry says it is entering its production phase — with crude already on-site, storage in place, and a strategic position in a fuel market the West keeps shrinkingUSA News Group News Commentary BOCA RATON, Fla., June 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The American refining map is shrinking, and the math behind that simple fact is becoming one of the more overlooked stories in energy. Across the Western United States, refineries have been closing or announcing closures, pulling meaningful capacity out of a market where demand for gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel has stayed stubbornly resilient. When supply contracts and demand does not, the assets that remain become more valuable — and harder to replace. Against that backdrop, a small Nevada-focused energy company says it is flipping the switch on an asset that sits squarely in the gap. On its latest update, Sky Quarry Inc. (NASDAQ: SKYQ) told shareholders it is entering the production phase at its Foreland Refinery — described as the only operating refinery in the State of Nevada — marking a transition the company has spent years working toward. Key TakeawaysEntering production: Sky Quarry says it is moving into the production phase at the Foreland Refinery near Ely, Nevada — the only operating refinery in the state — with refinery operations expected to commence in July.Inventory already in place: The company reports approximately 10,000 barrels of crude oil and in-process inventory on-site and moving through the refining process, which it frames as both operational readiness and an immediate working asset.Storage and readiness: Foreland has more than 100,000 barrels of total storage capacity, which the company expects to provide operational flexibility and describes as an important component of the refinery's long-term value.A scarce strategic position: Nevada is one of the most fuel-import-dependent states in the country, and the company argues Foreland's in-state refining capacity is increasingly valuable as Western refining capacity exits the market.From preparation to performance: Management frames this as an inflection point — shifting focus from repairing and funding the asset toward production, customer deliveries, operating margins, and cash flow — though it remains a micro-cap working through that transition.Why a Single Refinery Matters So MuchTo understand why Sky Quarry frames this moment as pivotal, you have to understand the unusual scarcity of what it owns. Refineries are extraordinarily difficult to build today: they require enormous capital, years of permitting, and the navigation of environmental and community opposition that has effectively halted new refinery construction in much of the United States. The practical consequence is that existing, permitted, operating refineries have become high-barrier infrastructure — assets that would be very difficult, and in many regions effectively impossible, to replicate. When one of them sits in a state that has none other, its strategic weight grows accordingly.That is the case Sky Quarry makes for Foreland. Nevada consumes substantial quantities of gasoline, diesel, and other refined products, yet has historically relied on fuel imported from neighboring regions — making it one of the most fuel-import-dependent states in the nation. A refinery physically located within Nevada occupies a distinctive position in that supply chain, able to serve in-state demand and the broader Intermountain West without the logistics and cost penalties of long-haul imports. As the company puts it, Foreland provides refining capacity directly within a market that otherwise depends on barrels trucked or piped in from outside.The Capacity Squeeze Working in Its FavorThe macro trend underpinning the story is the steady erosion of Western refining capacity. Several large refining facilities in California have either ceased operations or announced plans to do so, removing meaningful capacity from the Western market. Each closure tightens the regional supply-demand balance and, in the company's framing, reinforces the strategic importance of the refining assets that remain. It is a dynamic that does not depend on any single dramatic event; it is the cumulative, structural drift of a region losing the ability to make its own fuel even as it keeps consuming it.That backdrop is what gives a sub-scale asset like Foreland outsized relevance. The company describes a combination of attributes that, taken together, it considers increasingly difficult to replicate: refining infrastructure, substantial storage capacity, access to regional crude supply, operating permits, customer relationships, and a strategic location serving a fuel-deficient market. Individually, none of these is unique. Collectively, in a region where replacement refining capacity has become scarce, the company argues they form a genuinely defensible position. Foreland has operated for more than two decades, processing heavy crude sourced from Nevada and Utah into diesel, vacuum gas oil, naphtha, and liquid paving asphalt for Western markets.What "Entering Production" Actually Means HereThe substance of the update is a shift from preparation to operation. Sky Quarry says recent work has included repairs, upgrades, and enhancements across critical operating systems, including storage infrastructure that now gives the company more than 100,000 barrels of total storage capacity — capacity that provides operational flexibility and, the company argues, represents an important component of the refinery's long-term value. With that work in its final stages, management expects to commence refinery operations in July.Critically, the company says it is entering operations with inventory already in place — approximately 10,000 barrels of crude oil and in-process inventory on-site and moving through the refining process. Sky Quarry frames that inventory as both a sign of operational readiness and an immediate working asset as production begins, positioning the company to participate in the value-creation process of converting crude into refined products from the outset rather than starting from a standstill."As refinery operations commence, Sky Quarry's focus shifts toward production, customer deliveries, operating margins, and cash flow generation," said Marcus Laun, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Sky Quarry, describing what the company calls a fundamental transition in its corporate evolution. For much of its recent history, management's attention was centered on repairing infrastructure, securing working capital, and preparing Foreland for operations; as operations begin, the company says that focus turns to running the asset and generating cash flow — a materially different operating profile, in its telling, than it carried earlier in the year.The Economics: Margins, Not Just Oil PricesOne nuance worth understanding is how a refiner actually makes money. While headlines tend to fixate on the price of crude oil, a refinery's economics are driven primarily by refining margins — the spread between what it pays for crude feedstock and what it earns for the refined products it sells. Crude oil is the principal input, and in a healthy demand environment, lower feedstock costs can actually benefit a refiner rather than hurt it. Sky Quarry has emphasized that its focus is on operating efficiently, managing costs, and capturing attractive margins through disciplined execution, rather than betting on the direction of crude prices themselves. For investors more accustomed to thinking of energy companies as leveraged plays on oil, that distinction matters: a refiner can prosper in environments that pressure producers, and vice versa.The Names That Frame the Refining TradeSky Quarry is, by any measure, a micro-cap minnow in a sector dominated by far larger operators, but the broader independent-refining landscape helps frame both the economics it is entering and the scale of its established peers. Looking at a few of the most relevant public names illustrates the sector — and the gulf between a single-refinery developer and the industry's incumbents.HF Sinclair Corporation (NYSE: DINO) is arguably the most geographically on-point comparison. The integrated refiner operates facilities across the Rocky Mountain, Mid-Continent, Southwest, and Pacific Northwest regions — including refineries in Wyoming, Utah, and Washington — serving the very Intermountain West fuel markets that Foreland targets, and its Utah operations are configured to run the kind of regional waxy crude that the eastern-Utah basin around Sky Quarry's PR Spring resource is known for. As a large, established operator in Foreland's own backyard, HF Sinclair illustrates both the scale of the regional refining incumbents and the strategic value of refining capacity positioned to serve these inland markets.Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PARR) offers perhaps the most apt comparison in spirit. Par Pacific has built a business around refineries in logistically isolated, niche Western markets such as Hawaii, Wyoming, and the Pacific Northwest — markets where local refining enjoys a natural advantage over distant imports, much as Sky Quarry argues Foreland does in Nevada. As a mid-cap that has rewarded investors handsomely while carrying the volatility inherent to refining, Par Pacific illustrates both the appeal and the risk of the regionally advantaged refining model.CVR Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CVI) is an independent petroleum refiner and marketer focused on the mid-continent region. CVR exemplifies the margin-driven nature of the refining business — its fortunes rise and fall with the spread between crude costs and refined-product prices — and serves as a reminder that even established refiners operate in a cyclical, margin-sensitive industry where execution and cost discipline determine outcomes.Calumet, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLMT) rounds out the group as one of the closest comparisons in profile, if not in product mix. A specialty-products refiner with facilities positioned from Louisiana to Montana, Calumet is among the smaller, more niche-focused names in the public refining universe — a reminder that not every refiner competes on commodity-fuel scale, and that specialized positioning and disciplined operations matter as much as size. Calumet illustrates the challenges and opportunities facing smaller refining operations, including the leverage and margin sensitivity that come with the territory. These companies are referenced to illustrate the sector and do not imply any partnership, endorsement, affiliation, or comparable financial performance; they are larger and more established multi-facility operators, while Sky Quarry is a micro-cap operating a single refinery and entering its production phase.The Risks Behind the StoryThe strategic logic is compelling, but the risks are substantial and deserve clear emphasis. Sky Quarry is a development-stage micro-cap, and the production phase it is entering follows a difficult stretch: the Foreland refinery experienced outages for boiler repairs that halted production and sharply reduced revenue, and the company has been working through the financial consequences. Management states that repairs are complete and operations are expected to commence in July, but a planned restart is not the same as sustained, profitable production, and ramp-up timelines can slip. The company's ability to procure feedstock, run reliably, and capture healthy margins all remain to be demonstrated at scale.Beyond operational execution, the company carries the ordinary risks of a small-cap energy operator: exposure to volatile refining margins and commodity prices, the need for continued access to capital, and a balance sheet that — while improved, by the company's account — reflects a business still establishing consistent cash generation. As a micro-cap, its shares can be volatile, and its development ambitions beyond the refinery depend on financing that is not assured. Investors should weigh the genuine strategic appeal of a scarce, in-state refining asset against the real and well-documented execution, financing, and commodity risks that accompany a company at this stage.The Bottom LineSky Quarry's update marks a genuine inflection point in its corporate story: the moment a company that has spent years repairing, funding, and preparing an asset says it is ready to actually run it. The value of the Foreland Refinery has historically been viewed through the lens of its potential; as operations commence and throughput builds, it will increasingly be judged on operational performance, cash-generating capability, and its strategic position within a Western fuel market that keeps losing the capacity it cannot easily replace. That is a meaningfully different way for the market to evaluate the company — and a higher bar.Whether Sky Quarry can convert a scarce, strategically located refining asset into sustained, profitable production remains to be proven, and the execution and financing risks facing any micro-cap at this stage are real. But the underlying question the company is built around — who will supply fuel to a region steadily losing the ability to make its own — is a genuinely important one. For investors tracking where the shrinking Western refining map creates value, the switching-on of Nevada's only refinery is a development worth following closely.CONTINUED … Learn more about Sky Quarry Inc. at: https://usanewsgroup.com/skyq-landing.SEE WHAT THE MARKET IS TALKING ABOUT BEFORE IT MOVESEagle Eye reads social, forum, and news chatter across thousands of investor conversations in real time — and surfaces the tickers the crowd is piling into, along with the sentiment and catalysts behind them.Explore Eagle Eye free (for now) at https://Eagle-Eye.dev.CONTACT:

Sky Quarry Enters Production Phase at Nevada's Only RefineryJune 22, 2026 7:30 AM
ACCESS NewswireCompany enters operations with approximately 10,000 barrels of inventory on-site and more than 100,000 barrels of storage capacity.WOODS CROSS, UT / ACCESS Newswire / June 22, 2026 / Sky Quarry Inc. (NASDAQ:SKYQ) ("Sky Quarry" or the "Company"), an energy infrastructure company focused on domestic refining and resource development, today announced an update on its Nevada refinery operations provided by the Company's Interim Chief Executive Officer, Marcus Laun."As Sky Quarry approaches the commencement of refinery operations at Foreland Refinery in Ely, Nevada ("Foreland"), in my role as the Interim Chief Executive Officer of Sky Quarry, I wanted to provide an update on our progress and discuss the next phase of Sky Quarry's development."At the center of the Sky Quarry story is a simple fact: Sky Quarry controls what we believe is one of the most strategically positioned refining assets in the Western United States - Nevada's only operating refinery."While energy markets often focus on fluctuations in crude oil prices, the more important long-term trend, in my opinion, is the continued reduction of refining capacity across the Western United States," provided Mr. Laun. "As refining capacity exits the market and regional demand for transportation fuels remains resilient, strategically located refining infrastructure is expected to become increasingly valuable."Nevada remains one of the most fuel-import-dependent states in the nation. Despite consuming substantial quantities of gasoline, diesel, and other refined products, the state has historically relied on fuel imported from neighboring regions. Sky Quarry's Foreland Refinery occupies a unique position within that supply chain, with the potential to provide refining capacity directly within Nevada and serve customers throughout the broader Intermountain West region.At the same time, the regional refining landscape continues to evolve. Several large refining facilities in California have recently either ceased operations or announced plans to do so, removing meaningful refining capacity from the Western market. While no single event defines long-term market dynamics, the broader trend toward reduced regional refining capacity reinforces the Company's conviction in the strategic importance of existing refining assets that can meet regional demand.Against this backdrop, Sky Quarry's team has remained focused on preparing Foreland for sustained commercial operations. We are now in the final stages of that process and expect to commence refinery operations in July.Recent work at the Foreland Refinery site has included repairs, upgrades, and enhancements across critical operating systems, including storage infrastructure that provides the Company with more than 100,000 barrels of total storage capacity. This storage capability is expected to provide operational flexibility and represent an important component of the refinery's long-term value."Importantly, Sky Quarry's Foreland Refinery is entering operations with inventory already in place. The Company currently has approximately 10,000 barrels of crude oil and in-process inventory on-site, moving through the refining process. We believe this inventory represents both operational readiness and an immediate working asset as production begins. As operations ramp up, we expect this inventory to provide both operational flexibility and immediate participation in the value-creation process associated with refining crude oil into refined products."Perhaps most importantly, Sky Quarry is approaching a fundamental transition in its corporate evolution. For much of the Company's recent history, management's focus has been centered on repairing infrastructure, securing working capital, strengthening the balance sheet, and preparing Foreland for operations. As refinery operations commence, Sky Quarry's focus shifts toward production, customer deliveries, operating margins, and cash flow generation.This transition marks an important inflection point. The value of the Foreland Refinery has historically been viewed through the lens of its potential. As operations ramp up and throughput increases, the refinery will be increasingly evaluated based on its operational performance, cash-generating capability, and strategic position within the Western fuel market.As a refinery operator, the Company's economics are driven primarily by refining margins rather than crude oil prices alone. Crude oil is the principal feedstock used in operations, and lower feedstock costs can be beneficial when refined product demand and pricing remain healthy. The Company's focus remains on operating efficiently, managing costs, and capturing attractive margins through disciplined execution.Beyond the refinery itself, Sky Quarry now possesses a combination of assets that is increasingly difficult to replicate: refining infrastructure, substantial storage capacity, access to regional crude supply, operating permits, customer relationships, and a strategic location serving a fuel-deficient market. Collectively, these assets position the Company within a sector where replacement refining capacity has become increasingly scarce.Our intended objectives remain straightforward: operate safely, maximize utilization, generate cash flow, strengthen the balance sheet, and create long-term value for shareholders.We believe the months ahead will represent the beginning of a significantly different chapter for Sky Quarry.For years, the Company has worked to position Foreland as a strategic refining asset serving Nevada and the broader Western United States. Today, that effort is transitioning from preparation to production.Sincerely,Marcus Laun

Sky Quarry Pushes to Expand Drilling in Nevada, Home to an Estimated 1.4 Billion Barrels of OilJune 3, 2026 7:30 AM
ACCESS NewswireThe Company's Foreland Refinery, Nevada's only operating refinery, provides a direct in-state outlet for local crude production.WOODS CROSS, UT / ACCESS Newswire / June 3, 2026 / Sky Quarry Inc. (NASDAQ:SKYQ) ("Sky Quarry" or the "Company"), an energy infrastructure company focused on domestic refining and resource development, today announced that it is launching a crude oil drilling and production initiative in Nevada's Railroad Valley - the state's primary oil-producing region - and that it intends to refine that crude at its Foreland Refinery, the only operating refinery in Nevada.According to a 2025 U.S. Geological Survey assessment, Nevada holds approximately 1.4 billion barrels of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil beneath federal lands, the third largest such resource of any state, behind only Alaska and New Mexico.1 Yet despite sitting atop that resource, Nevada today imports more than 90% of its transportation fuels, much of it from supply-constrained California. Sky Quarry intends to help close that gap.Michael D. O'Neal, President of Grant Canyon Oil & Gas, LLC and Saddle Rim Energy (Texas), LLC, commented, "We firmly believe that the prospects we are developing in Nevada are more attractive than most other parts of the U.S. Our current production has very long-lived reserves with shallow field decline rates. There are still huge undiscovered oil and gas fields in Nevada. We look forward to expanding our production and working with Foreland Refining Corporation and Sky Quarry."The Company is actively working to catalyze new drilling in Railroad Valley, assisting regional producers in bringing additional wells online and increasing production of Nevada crude. Producers are evaluating opportunities to expand output, and Sky Quarry is positioning Foreland to refine the additional local crude those efforts could deliver.The Foreland Refinery is particularly well-suited for processing Railroad Valley crude. Because the basin has limited pipeline access to outside markets, it is generally more economical to refine locally - giving Foreland a natural advantage in securing local supply. As regional production grows, the Company intends to increase utilization above historical levels, converting more local barrels into fuel for the state."At its peak, Railroad Valley wells produced roughly 5,000 barrels per day, and we believe more wells with that kind of productivity are still possible," said Marcus Laun, Chief Executive Officer of Sky Quarry. "More production would strengthen Nevada's energy infrastructure and increase the amount of locally produced crude available for refining in-state. That is the opportunity we are pursuing."About Sky Quarry Inc.

180 Million Barrels Of Oil Sands, A 5,000 BPD Permitted Nevada Refinery, And A New Multi-Party SAF Collaboration Just Stacked Onto The U.S. Domestic Refining Capacity ConversationMay 29, 2026 8:56 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of Sky Quarry Inc.As Western U.S. refining capacity continues to consolidate, Brent crude trades in the ~$95.00 range, and the Trump administration prioritizes domestic refining under Presidential Determinations, one integrated energy and resource recovery company has positioned itself directly at the intersection of feedstock, infrastructure, and policy.USA News Group News CommentaryWOODS CROSS, Utah, May 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. domestic refining capacity has entered a structurally tight phase. West Coast refining capacity has continued to shrink, the Q1 2026 earnings cycle for major U.S. refiners confirmed disciplined demand and tight margin discipline across the complex, and the Trump administration's Presidential Determinations on domestic refining capacity under the Defense Production Act have placed strategic priority on U.S.-based refining infrastructure. Inside that landscape, Sky Quarry, Inc. (NASDAQ: SKYQ), Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE: VLO), HF Sinclair Corporation (NYSE: DINO), Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PARR), and Delek US Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DK) collectively span the spectrum from emerging vertically integrated upstream-downstream operator to large-scale U.S. refining-and-marketing major. Sky Quarry, Inc. (NASDAQ: SKYQ), an integrated energy and resource recovery company, has used the first half of 2026 to sequence a series of strategic announcements positioning the Company directly at the intersection of feedstock availability, U.S. refining capacity, and emerging low-carbon fuel pathways. On May 7, 2026, Sky Quarry executed a non-binding multi-party Memorandum of Understanding with Southern Energy Renewables, Inc. (a U.S.-based developer of carbon-negative fuels and large-scale biomass-to-Sustainable Aviation Fuel platforms) and DevvStream Corp. (a technology-driven environmental markets and carbon management company). The MOU has an initial three-year term and establishes a strategic collaboration focused on fuel innovation, refinery integration, and low-carbon fuel development.The collaboration targets pilot-scale validation of SAF, specialty fuels, and recycled-hydrocarbon blends at Sky Quarry's PR Spring oil sands asset in Utah — a resource the Company has disclosed at approximately 180 million barrels of oil — alongside technology upgrades at the Foreland Refinery in Nevada. The integrated pathway provides Sky Quarry access to carbon management, environmental attributes, and commercialization pathways across both the conventional refining and SAF sides of the U.S. fuel supply environment. Section 45Z Production Tax Credit framework on the SAF side and Defense Production Act policy on the conventional side together describe the most supportive operating environment U.S. integrated refining operators have seen in recent memory.Earlier in the quarter, on April 29, 2026 (with an expanded version released on May 4, 2026), Sky Quarry announced a Request for Proposals (RFP) to engage partners seeking to accelerate development and commercialization of the approximately 180 million barrels of oil at the PR Spring asset. The RFP includes potential integration of PR Spring heavy oil production directly into the Foreland Refinery — creating a vertically integrated upstream-to-downstream pathway from Utah feedstock to Western U.S. finished products. The Company has also issued a separate RFP to monetize 7 megawatts of installed surplus turbine generation at the same site, providing additional commercial flexibility around the underlying infrastructure base.The Foreland Refinery operates at 5,000 barrels per day of permitted capacity — a scarce, fully permitted, and recently upgraded asset inside a constrained Western U.S. fuel market. On January 27, 2026, Sky Quarry announced the completion of high-impact system upgrades at Foreland, unlocking strategic value across the refinery's 5,000 BPD permitted capacity. The Company's broader strategic growth plan, announced in 2025, targets up to 800,000 barrels of annual sustained production at Foreland — providing the operational scale-up roadmap for the integrated upstream-and-downstream model the Company is now executing against.Sky Quarry's positioning within the U.S. domestic refining capacity — reinforced by the April 23, 2026 press release citing the Trump administration's Presidential Determinations on domestic refining capacity under the Defense Production Act — places the Company at the intersection of the energy security policy framework now being deployed at the federal level. The combination of permitted refinery infrastructure, 180 million barrels of in-place feedstock, multi-party SAF collaboration, and Defense Production Act policy alignment provides the structural framework within which Sky Quarry's integrated platform is being evaluated.

Energy Emergencies Drive Urgent Action in Nevada Fuel SupplyMay 11, 2026 7:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireSky Quarry owns the only refinery in Nevada and could stand to benefit as state and federal policies convergeWOODS CROSS, UT / ACCESS Newswire / May 11, 2026 / Sky Quarry Inc. (NASDAQ:SKYQ) ("Sky Quarry" or the "Company") today highlighted its participation in ongoing discussions shaping Nevada's fuel supply strategy within the broader U.S. energy security landscape at a meeting of the Nevada Fuel Resiliency Committee (the "Committee") held on April 30, 2026.The Committee, formed by Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo in response to fuel supply disruptions and Nevada's declaration of a limited state of emergency, is focused on critical vulnerabilities in fuel logistics, refining capacity, and regional energy independence. The Company's management views the Committee as Nevada's response to a compounding series of energy emergencies necessitating coordinated action at both the state and federal levels. Nevada and the broader Western United States remain heavily dependent on imported refined fuels, a dynamic that is causing increasing pressure amid refinery closures and constraints on infrastructure expansion.Sky Quarry CEO Marcus Laun attended the Committee's April 30, 2026, meeting, where state leaders, regulators, and industry participants discussed the fuel supply shortage, which is increasingly being viewed as a structural issue rather than a temporary disruption."This is no longer a single-point failure scenario. It is part of a broader energy security challenge," said Laun. "Nevada's response reflects a growing recognition that local fuel production and refining capacity are essential."The urgency at the state level is echoed by federal actions. President Donald Trump issued Executive Orders and Presidential Memoranda designating domestic energy production, refining, and logistics infrastructure as matters of national security. These and other actions are expected to unlock substantial federal support mechanisms for the energy industry, including:• Export-Import Bank financing for energy infrastructure
• Department of Defense offtake agreements
• Department of Energy lending and project financing
• Defense Production Act incentivesSky Quarry believes this alignment in prioritization at the state and federal levels creates a meaningful opportunity for accelerated investment in domestic refining and production assets."This is the kind of policy alignment that drives real capital into the sector," Laun added. "When you combine state emergencies with federal national security mandates, you create a pathway for funding, offtake, and infrastructure buildout at scale. We are interested in identifying partners and opportunities that will help us meet the needs of the Nevada market."Sky Quarry is advancing initiatives to increase throughput at its Eagle Springs Foreland Refinery in Nevada while engaging with regional oil producers to expand crude supply within the state. Eagle Springs is the only permitted, operating refinery in Nevada, with a nameplate capacity of approximately 5,000 barrels per day, a distinction that management believes will make the Company a natural focal point for Nevada's efforts to expand in-state refining and production capacity, reduce dependency on imported fuels, and strengthen supply chain resilience.Although there can be no assurance that the state and federal actions and policies discussed herein will have the anticipated effect or benefit the Company, management believes the Company's Nevada footprint, combined with its integrated upstream and refining capabilities, positions Sky Quarry to potentially participate in both state-led infrastructure initiatives and federally supported energy programs."We believe domestic energy assets in supply-constrained regions like ours are entering a period of strategic revaluation," Laun said. "Sky Quarry is well positioned for that shift."The Company intends to remain actively engaged with the Committee and related stakeholders as policy and infrastructure initiatives continue to develop. The Company expects these developments to inform future operational, partnership, and capital deployment strategies.About Sky Quarry Inc.

Sky Quarry Positioned to Benefit as Trump Administration Prioritizes Domestic Refining CapacityApril 23, 2026 7:30 AM
ACCESS NewswireU.S. Refining Shortfall and Tightening Global Supply Put Western Fuel Markets at RiskWOODS CROSS, UT / ACCESS Newswire / April 23, 2026 / Sky Quarry Inc. (NASDAQ:SKYQ) ("Sky Quarry" or the "Company"), operator of the only operational refinery in Nevada and a strategically positioned asset in a constrained Western U.S. fuel market, today highlighted Donald Trump's various Presidential Determinations issued on April 20, 2026, pursuant to Section 303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (the "Determinations")1 and aimed at accelerating the development of critical U.S. energy infrastructure, including domestic petroleum refining capacity.The Determinations emphasized that the development, manufacture, and deployment of large-scale energy infrastructure is essential to national defense and energy reliability and directed the use of authorities under the Defense Production Act of 1950 to support and expand such activities. The Determinations also identified the need to strengthen domestic petroleum production, refining, and associated logistics capacities to ensure reliable domestic fuel supply.2A System Under Stress: Tightening Supply in the Western U.S.U.S. refining capacity has failed to keep pace with demand, an issue that is particularly acute in the Western United States. California, the region's dominant fuel market, has seen accelerating refinery closures and tightening environmental regulations that have systematically reduced in-state refining output, leaving the region increasingly dependent on imports and exposing the state to supply disruptions. California's stringent regulatory environment has, as a practical matter, significantly restricted the permitting of new refining capacity, and the structural gap between regional supply and demand continues to widen.Drawdowns of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve cannot continue indefinitely. At the same time, geopolitical tensions and conflict in the Middle East, including the ongoing hostilities in Iran, are adding further uncertainty to global energy markets. The Western U.S. fuel market is not insulated from these pressures.A Rare Asset in a Supply-Constrained MarketAs permitting new refining capacity becomes increasingly difficult, assets like Sky Quarry's Eagle Springs Foreland refinery represent scarce, hard-to-replicate infrastructure. The refinery, located near Ely, Nevada, is a fully permitted, recently upgraded facility with a nameplate capacity of approximately 5,000 barrels per day, processing regional crude into diesel, vacuum gas oil (VGO), naphtha, and liquid paving asphalt for markets across Nevada and parts of the broader Intermountain West.Sky Quarry is actively evaluating opportunities to align Foreland's operations with federal programs aimed at expanding domestic refining throughput, increasing transportation fuel production, and strengthening regional fuel distribution networks."These Presidential actions are a signal that the structural weaknesses in our energy system are now being taken seriously at the highest level of government," said Marcus Laun, Chief Executive Officer of Sky Quarry. "The Strategic Petroleum Reserve cannot be drawn down forever, California's regulatory environment continues to squeeze regional refining capacity, and geopolitical tensions and conflict involving Iran are adding real uncertainty to global supply.

Sky Quarry's Nevada Refinery Gains Strategic Value as Brent Crude Surpasses $110 and West Coast Refining Capacity ShrinksApril 2, 2026 7:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireNevada's only operating refinery is positioned at the intersection of surging global oil prices, accelerating California refinery closures, and rising demand for domestically produced fuelWOODS CROSS, UT / ACCESS Newswire / April 2, 2026 / Sky Quarry Inc. (NASDAQ:SKYQ), operator of Nevada's only operating refinery, today highlighted the strategic importance of its Foreland Refinery as Brent crude oil surged past $110 per barrel - its highest level since mid-2022 - and the Western United States continues to lose refining capacity at an accelerating rate. The convergence of a major oil price rally amid disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, the permanent closure of major California refineries, and strong regional fuel demand creates a favorable backdrop for domestic refining infrastructure serving the local market.Nevada's Only Refinery - Serving the Local MarketSky Quarry owns and operates the Foreland Refinery, the only refinery located in Nevada, with approximately 5,000 barrels per day of permitted refining capacity. The facility produces diesel, vacuum gas oil (VGO), naphtha, and liquid paving asphalt from crude oil sourced from Nevada and Utah, serving the regional fuel market across Nevada and parts of the broader Intermountain West.Nevada consumes more than 300,000 barrels per day of petroleum products - including gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel - according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Because the state has no other in-state refining capacity, nearly all refined fuels must be transported from refineries in neighboring states, principally California."Nevada is one of the most import-dependent fuel markets in the country," said Marcus Laun, Chief Executive Officer of Sky Quarry. "If two of the largest California refineries serving the Western region close permanently and global oil prices spike above $110 a barrel, the question of where refined product comes from - and who controls local supply - becomes urgent. We own the only refinery in Nevada, and that is a strategically significant position."Brent at $110+: A Major Supply ShockCrude oil markets have experienced a significant surge in March 2026. Brent crude settled at approximately $112 per barrel on March 30, 2026 - up more than 50% since the beginning of the year - as conflict in the Middle East effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz to most commercial traffic. The U.S. Energy Information Administration's March 10 Short-Term Energy Outlook forecast Brent remaining above $95 per barrel over the next two months.Higher oil prices typically support increased domestic drilling activity. Analysis from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas has shown that U.S. shale drilling activity tends to accelerate when oil prices rise above the $70 to $80 per barrel range, where many drilling programs become economically attractive. At current price levels, the economics for regional crude production in Nevada and Utah are substantially improved.Sky Quarry is currently in discussions with regional crude oil suppliers and leaseholders in Nevada regarding opportunities to increase local production that could supply the Foreland Refinery."At $110 oil, the economics for local drilling and local refining both improve materially," Laun continued. "Several producers we work with are actively evaluating opportunities to increase production. If that activity accelerates, it can create a natural and advantageous supply relationship between local crude and local refining capacity - exactly the kind of integrated position we have been building toward."California Refinery Closures Tighten Regional SupplyWhile fuel demand across the Western United States remains strong, California's refining capacity - the primary source of imported refined fuels for Nevada and neighboring states - has been declining sharply and will likely continue to do so.The Phillips 66 Wilmington refinery in Los Angeles (~138,700 barrels per day) permanently ceased crude processing operations at the end of 2025. Valero's Benicia refinery (~145,000 barrels per day), located northeast of San Francisco, is scheduled to close by mid-2026. Together, these two facilities represent approximately 290,000 barrels per day of capacity - roughly 18% of California's total refining infrastructure, according to reporting by Oil & Gas Journal and TankTerminals.com.California's boutique fuel blend requirements mean that replacement supply cannot easily be sourced from other domestic refining centers, amplifying the impact of any capacity reduction. States such as Nevada that already depend on fuel transported from California face compounding exposure as in-state California supply tightens, transportation costs rise, and the global price of crude climbs simultaneously."The West Coast fuel supply chain is being stressed from multiple directions at the same time," said Laun. "California may be losing roughly 290,000 barrels a day of refining capacity just as global crude prices are hitting multi-year highs. That is a challenging equation for any market that depends on California for refined product - particularly Nevada."PR Spring: Long-Term Unconventional ResourceSky Quarry's wholly-owned PR Spring facility in eastern Utah represents an additional long-term energy asset. Constructed at a cost of more than $50 million, the facility is designed to process asphaltic bitumen oil sands ore into heavy oil. The property contains an estimated 180 million barrels of asphaltic bitumen ore. At sustained elevated crude prices, the economics of unconventional resource development may improve materially, and the Company intends to continue evaluating development pathways for the asset.About Sky Quarry Inc.Sky Quarry Inc.

Sky Quarry Unlocks Strategic Value at 5,000 Barrels-Per-Day Foreland Refinery with Completion of High-Impact System UpgradesJanuary 27, 2026 1:39 PM
ACCESS NewswireExecution program advances asset readiness within a constrained regional marketWOODS CROSS, UT / ACCESS Newswire / January 27, 2026 / Sky Quarry Inc. (NASDAQ:SKYQ), an integrated energy solutions company transforming the waste recycling industry, today announced the completion of a series of high-impact operational upgrades at its Foreland Refinery.Foreland stands as a rare energy asset in the western United States as the only permitted refinery in the State of Nevada, operating within a supply-constrained and logistically complex regional fuel market. With permitted capacity of up to 5,000 barrels per day and an estimated replacement value of approximately $70 million, Foreland represents high-barrier infrastructure that would be difficult to replicate today. The refinery supplies fuel to critical Nevada industries, including precious metals mining and lithium production.The completed upgrades significantly enhance refinery reliability, uptime, and operational readiness. As a result, Sky Quarry is now uniquely positioned to capture outsized value from tightening regional fuel markets, expand operating leverage, and convert a scarce refining asset into meaningful, durable cash-flow potential for shareholders.The improvements address core systems across the facility, including major boiler system upgrades, vacuum unit condenser replacements, critical process piping replacements, tank system repairs, and restoration of the water and oil separation system. Collectively, these enhancements materially improve durability, throughput capability, and readiness for sustained production.As infrastructure scarcity in western fuel markets continues to intensify, Sky Quarry believes these completed upgrades enhance Foreland's strategic relevance, operational resilience, and long-term value creation potential."As the only active refinery in Nevada, the work completed at Foreland strengthens the asset to support regional demand when market conditions require it," said Marcus Laun, CEO of Sky Quarry Inc. "With shifting supply dynamics across California, Nevada, and Utah, including the Benicia refinery in California scheduled to come offline in April 2026, current market indicators point to high demand this summer season. We believe Foreland is well positioned to respond."About Sky Quarry Inc.Sky Quarry Inc. (NASDAQ:SKYQ) is an oil production and refining company that operates the Foreland Refinery, a regional facility producing diesel, vacuum gas oil (VGO), naphtha, and liquid paving asphalt from crude oil sourced from Nevada and Utah. The Company is also advancing development-stage environmental remediation operations at its PR Spring facility in eastern Utah, focused on technologies designed to recover hydrocarbons from waste asphalt shingles and oil-saturated sands and soils.
