The oil exploration and development company noted in its interim results that the agreement will seek to pursue the development of a plant utilising the Oil Sands Technology at a location yet to be determined in Utah, US.

Meanwhile, the group's operations on its Holliday A Block, including in respect of TurboShale's RF technology, have been postponed for the rest of 2020.
A decision on the next steps of the TurboShale technology development will be made towards the end of 2020.
As of June 29, TomCo had £340,000 in the bank, which the board said was enough to carry on for the rest of the year.
The firm continues to require further funding for its contribution of US$1.5mln as part of the joint venture.
