Full Text of Petroteq's Release
Petroteq Energy Inc. (the "Company") (TSXV:PQE; OTC:PQEFF; FSE:
PQCF), a fully integrated oil and gas company, is pleased to
announce the execution of a definitive agreement for the
acquisition of 50% of the operating rights and interests relating
to oil sands under U.S. federal oil and gas leases encompassing
approximately 8,480 gross acres (4,240 net acres, less royalty) in
the State of Utah. The lands included in the leases are located in
P.R. Springs and the Tar Sands Triangle, two areas that have been
designated as "Special Tar Sands Areas" by the U.S. Bureau of Land
Management.
The details of the acquisition are as follows: TMC Capital, LLC
("TMC"), an indirect wholly owned operating subsidiary of the
Company, will acquire an undivided 50% interest in the operating
rights (working interests) under a federal oil and gas lease
located in P.R. Springs and five federal oil and gas leases located
in the Tar Sands Triangle. Under this transaction, TMC will pay
Momentum Asset Partners I, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company,
total consideration of US$10.8 million, US$1.8 million payable in
cash and US$9 million payable in shares, namely 15 million common
shares of the Company, at a deemed value of US$0.60 per share,
representing a premium of approximately 76% from the last closing
price of the common shares.
According to a report titled "Evaluation of Contingent
Resources" from Chapman Petroleum Engineering, Ltd. dated December
31, 2018 (the "Chapman Report"), the 50% interests in the P.R.
Springs leases to be acquired by TMC are estimated to contain gross
contingent resources of 45 million barrels of mineable oil/bitumen
in place, with an "arithmetic average after risk" estimate,
determined on a net basis (discounted by risk and royalty), of
20.38 million barrels of mineable oil/bitumen in place. Based on
certain assumptions in the Chapman Report concerning forecasted oil
prices and a recovery factor, the mineable resources that are
attributable to the interests in the P.R. Spring lease to be
acquired by TMC have an estimated "after risk" cash flow value of
US$1.19 billion on an undiscounted basis, a cash flow value of
US$153.2 million on a 10%/year discounted basis, and a cash flow
value of US$86.2 million on a 15%/year discounted basis.
According to the Chapman Report, the 50% interests in the Tar
Sands Triangle leases to be acquired by TMC are estimated to
contain gross contingent resources of 41.3 million barrels of in
situ oil/bitumen in place, with an "arithmetic average after risk"
estimate, determined on a net basis (discounted by risk and
royalty), of 20.7 million barrels of in situ oil/bitumen in place.
No economic evaluation of the resources contained in the Tar Sands
Triangle leases has been conducted.
The Chapman Report was prepared in compliance with the COGE
Handbook and NI 51-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas
Activities.
"Petroteq's disciplined approach to asset acquisition
prioritizes future financial strength while creating alignment to
the capabilities of our technology to enhance value by extracting
surface oil sands heavy oil in an environmentally friendly,
industry leading process. The low cost of capital required to
acquire these assets not only increases the quality of Petroteq's
assets, but is intended to allow the Company to leverage its
technology and adjust capital spending to harvest these resource
rich areas," said David Sealock, Chief Executive Officer.
"In light of the current environment, as we continue to work on
our 2019 production plan and if oil pricing maintains its
stabilization, Petroteq anticipates layering in production growth
that supports our strategy to initiate production and leverage cash
flow from operations. Donald Clark, our Chief Geologist, is
currently working on the Resource Development Plan that will be
issued this quarter," continued Mr. Sealock.
This acquisition is part of the Company's larger strategy of
developing a long term strategic capability to produce oil for
decades. Strategically, it makes sense for the Company to acquire
assets now on a cost-effective basis, so that if valuations in the
region rise, the Company will already have a large resource base to
monetize without having to pay incrementally higher prices for land
and mineral resources.
All securities issued pursuant to the above noted transaction
will be subject to a four-month hold period. The transaction is
ultimately subject to approval of the directors of the Company and
the TSX Venture Exchange.
