Further exploration at the Dalton Highway-adjacent prospect this winter revealed a massive find the company estimates at more than one billion barrels of recoverable oil.

Pantheon Resources intersected two reservoirs near the bottom of its Talitha-A exploration well that, combined, likely hold roughly 1.4 billion barrels of recoverable light oil and more than 12 billion barrels of oil in place, according to Technical Director Bob Rosenthal.
