Sky Quarry announces plan for full production capacity at Foreland Refinery

Sky Quarry (SKYQ) announced a comprehensive strategic roadmap for its wholly owned subsidiary, Foreland Refining Corporation. The plan is designed to scale operations to a sustained production rate of up to 800,000 barrels per year. Titled the “Path to Full Production,” the phased plan positions Foreland, Nevada’s only operating refinery, as a key piece of regional energy infrastructure, helping to stabilize fuel supply across the Western U.S. Each stage is supported by clearly defined operational, technical, and financial benchmarks. The Refinery is currently operating at up to 3,600 barrels per day, with expansion efforts already underway. The roadmap outlines four key production milestones: 45,000, 60,000, 80,000, and 100,000 barrels per month. Foreland expects to reach this peak level during periods of high seasonal demand. These are monthly targets, with production rising in the summer and easing back in winter. At full capacity, this translates to an annualized peak rate of 800,000 barrels, though actual output will vary seasonally. Key components of the strategic growth plan include: Reducing downtime from shutdowns and startups improves safety and extends equipment life. New positions in operations, maintenance, and supervision will support the transition to higher capacity. Steady production attracts long-term contracts, stronger pricing, and more reliable partnerships. Each production milestone significantly increases the refinery’s revenue-generating capacity. To support these goals, the Company has implemented a proactive maintenance and risk management framework. Infrastructure upgrades and crude supply contracts are already in progress to ensure safe and uninterrupted operations in anticipation of increased production. The Refinery also intends to expand its capabilities to include recycled heavy oil from waste materials, expected to be sourced from PR Spring.
