Creek Road Miners Prepares to Launch Its First Production Facility

Company Website: CreekRoadMiners.com

PARK CITY, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Creek Road Miners, Inc. (OTCQB:CRKR) (“Creek Road Miners,” or “Company”) has announced that, with the completion of its proof-of-concept phase, the Company will be placing its first production facility in Meeker, Colorado. This facility will house 240 Bitmain Antminer units capable of generating approximately 24 petahashes per second (PH/s) of mining capacity at a cost of approximately $.0455/kWh for electricity.

With the increasing cost of energy, there is a compelling economic incentive for operators to produce more oil. A natural byproduct of producing oil is the extraction of natural gas. In those locations where it is cost-prohibitive or impossible to transport the natural gas, it is often flared or burned off. Because Colorado is a zero-flare state, operators there are unable to produce oil if they are unable to transport the natural gas. This gas is referred to as, “stranded gas.” This situation creates a mutually beneficial opportunity between energy operators and Creek Road Miners, which has the ability to utilize and exploit this otherwise stranded gas to power its operations.

Creek Road Miners expects the Meeker, Colorado facility to be operational within the next ten days. The Company also plans to deploy an additional facility in Wyoming by the end of this month and a third facility in North Dakota within 45-60 days.

“At a time when energy costs are extremely high and continue to rise, Creek Road Miners is able to obtain fixed-price, low-cost energy while allowing operators to increase oil production,” commented John D. Maatta, the Company’s Co-CEO, adding, “It’s a win for Creek Road Miners, operators, and consumers.”
