Trinity Valley Announces STARS Modelling

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jun 4, 2014) - Trinity Valley Energy Corp. (TSX-VENTURE:TE) (The "Company") and Anderson County Land Company ("ACLC") announce they have retained Dr. Myron Kuhlman of Houston, Texas to undertake a modeling of the Carrizo reservoir the Days Chapel Enhanced Oil Recovery ("EOR") Project ("Days Chapel" or the "Project"), located in Anderson County, East Texas approximately 110 miles southeast of Dallas, Texas.

The modeling will utilized STARS ("thermal reservoir simulator and advanced recovery processes") software, which is developed and maintained by Computer Modelling Group, is the industry standard software for the evaluation of heavy oil reservoirs and the simulation of various exploitation techniques inclusive but not limited to SAGD. Dr. Kuhlman is a licensed user of STARS and has applied it for many of his clients.

Dr. Kuhlman is the proprietor of MK Tech Solutions Inc. and over the past 30 years has contributed to over 80 projects in the areas of thermal, miscible and chemical based enhanced oil recovery projects. He possesses a PhD. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Illinois as well as a Bachelor in Chemical Engineering from Purdue University. His career prior to forming MK Solutions Inc included positions with E.I. DuPont, Shell Oil and Tuboscope Vetco. He will commence his review in early June with preliminary recommendations expected in mid to late July 2014.

Additionally, Core Laboratories in Bakersfield, California has received core samples from the core holes drilled in 2013 and has commenced steam injectivity tests. The results of these tests will be integrated into the STARS simulations.

Upon completion of the STARS modelling, the components of the recommended exploitation techniques (i:e; recovery factor, steam ratios, production profile) will be used in the preparation of a National Instrument 51-101-compliant independent reservoir engineering report.

About The Days Chapel Project

The Days Chapel oilfield in Anderson County, East Texas is shallow Carrizo sand (Eocene Formation) at a depth of 550 feet to 700 feet. The formation lacks natural reservoir "drive" in the form of solution natural gas or water drive. Accordingly, it must be artificially heated to enable the oil to be produced.

The Days Chapel oilfield is one of a number of contiguous Carrizo oilfields in the southern part of Anderson County. Whereas the Carrizo formation lacks natural reservoir energy in the form of solution natural gas or water drive, in the late 1960's Shell Oil Company developed the Slocum field, less than two miles south of Days Chapel with a full scale steam-injection using vertical well 7-spot injection patterns.

The Days Chapel Project has established infrastructures that include paved highways throughout the property, rail access, a sale gas pipeline runs through property, good water sources with rights, valid lease and Mineral Deeds have been assembled by ACLC over a 4-year period. The Project is strategically located close to the Gulf Coast Refineries in the Houston Ship Channel and Beaumont/Lake Charles areas, offering significantly higher oil price differential to Canadian oil producers (Heavy Oil) per barrel.

Gerrard Kiefer, Professional Geologist, is the Qualified Person under National Instrument 51-101 responsible for preparing and reviewing the data contained in this press release.
