Point Loma Resources Announces Closing of Acquisition of Oil & Gas Assets - Amendment
01 Mai 2018 - 5:08PM
Point Loma Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:PLX) (the
“
Corporation” or “
Point Loma”) is
pleased to announce that it has acquired certain oil and gas assets
from a private oil and gas company involved in a receivership
process, with an effective date of November 1, 2017 (the
“
Acquisition”). After closing adjustments, the net
purchase price of the Acquisition was approximately $779,000 for
Point Loma’s 70 percent working interest share.
The
previously reported volumes and values per bullet four below were
in error.
Highlights (figures gross unless stated
otherwise):
- Point Loma (70 percent working interest) and Salt Bush Energy
Ltd. (“Salt Bush”) have acquired assets concentrated in the west
central area of Alberta contiguous to Point Loma’s existing area of
focus.
- Production of approximately 450 boe/d (315 boe/d net),
comprised of 35 percent oil and ngl’s.
- Approximately 29,000 acres (12,900 net acres) of undeveloped
land and over 130 kilometers of proprietary seismic in Point Loma’s
core area of west central Alberta.
- The Acquisition had total proved reserves of 1.6 MMboe (1.1
MMboe net) and total proved reserve net present value, discounted
at 10 percent, of $6.7 million ($4.7 million net).
- The Acquisition had estimated net operating income of $850,000
($595,000 net) during the recent six month adjustment period
(November 2017 – April 2018).
- The Acquisition has a liability management ratio (“LMR”) of
3.4, comprised of deemed assets of $11.5 million and deemed
liabilities of $3.4 million.
The properties include areas with proved
undeveloped locations booked in addition to the base production.
Full summary tables of the reserves of the Acquisition were
released in Point Loma’s March 19, 2018 press release.
Operational Update
The Thornbury area project is complete and Point
Loma production currently exceeds 1,000 boe/d with an estimated 30
percent oil and ngl mix. Further ngl production gains are expected
as Point Loma completes work to reroute existing production volumes
and reactivate previously suspended volumes to a deep cut facility
in the Paddle River area. The initial component of the project is
anticipated to be completed in May 2018 for a potential increase of
approximately 40 bpd of ngl’s with additional new volumes
restarting later in the year with accompanying ngl production.
Point Loma will also continue to evaluate all
producing wells for economic health during projected low natural
gas prices in the summer months of 2018. This may result in some
temporarily reduced production volumes, particularly natural gas,
that can resume as prices increase.
“This is another accretive acquisition in our
core area that will expand our opportunity base.” said Terry Meek,
President and CEO of Point Loma. “As we continue forward in
challenging times we feel the base we are accumulating will
position us for excellent growth in the future.”
Personnel Change
Point Loma announces the departure of Jamie
Chisholm, Vice President Operations, to a new opportunity outside
of the country, effective June 1, 2018. The Company wishes Jamie
well in his new venture and thanks him for his contribution to
Point Loma since inception.

intended to identify forward-looking statements or information.
Although Point Loma believes that the expectations and assumptions
on which such forward-looking statements and information are based
are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the
forward-looking statements and information because Point Loma
cannot give assurance that they will prove to be correct.
Since forward-looking statements and information
address future events and conditions, by their very nature they
involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could
differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number
of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to risks
that the conditions to closing of the Acquisition are not

Oil and Gas Information
“BOEs” may be misleading, particularly if used
in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of
natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent (6 Mcf: 1 bbl) is based
on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at
the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the
wellhead. As the value ratio between natural gas and crude oil
based on the current prices of natural gas and crude oil is
significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1,
utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an
indication of value.
