$MMEX Smart investing News New Oil Refineries MMEX Resources forms strategic relationship with Trinity Consultants
MMEX Resources has announced a strategic relationship with environmental consulting firm Trinity Consultants.

In early March, MMEX announced its intention to build a crude oil refinery in the Permian Basin near Fort Stockton, Texas, subject to the receipt of required governmental permits and completion of required debt and equity financing.

As per the agreement, Trinity will assist MMEX with the requisite air quality environmental authorisations to initiate construction of the refinery, including the New Source Review Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permit application required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and EPA Region 6, and subsequent Title V Federal Operating Permit.

Additionally, Trinity will offer broad environmental support services consisting of preliminary environmental site feasibility evaluation, permitting strategy development, regulatory applicability analysis, permit preparation, negotiation, and public participation.

MMEX resources president and CEO Jack W. Hanks said: “Plans for the Pecos County refinery are continuing to move forward quickly.

"We are pleased to be working with MMEX on this important new project and look forward to delivering exceptional results."
"Our agreement with Trinity, a world-class group of environmental consultants who will be vital to securing the necessary permitting for the project, is the next logical step in this endeavour and we are thrilled to have them onboard our growing team.”

Trinity Gulf / South region operations director Brian Burdorf said: “While the environmental permitting process for a new facility of this type is not inconsequential, our team is extremely experienced in understanding and meeting the requirements.

"We are pleased to be working with MMEX on this important new project and look forward to delivering exceptional results.”

The construction of the refinery is set to begin in early 2018, following the permitting process. The refinery will commence operations in 2019.

MMEX Resources is a development stage company engaged in the exploration, extraction, refining and distribution of oil, gas, petroleum products and electric power.

Trinity assists mostly industrial facilities with regulatory environmental compliance and specialises in air quality permitting and compliance management.
