President Energy PLC (PPC.LN) on Thursday said it has bought
Chevron Corp's (CVX) interest in its oil-producing assets in
Argentina for up to $22.4 million, most of which will be paid to
the Rio Negro province where the assets are situated.
The oil-and-gas company acquired Chevron's 100% operated
interest in its fields at Puesto Flores and Estancia Vieja in the
Neuquen basin in Rio Negro province, which is expected to add in
excess of 1,200 barrels of oil per day to production.
President has paid $400,000 to Chevron for the remainder of the
license concession period which ends in November. The company will
pay $15 million to the Rio Negro province once the 10-year license
extension has been put into legislature. A further $7 million is
also payable to the province through to 2018.
Once the 10-year extension has been formalized, President will
partner with Ediphsa, which will hold 10% of the concession.
Shares in President were up 0.38 pence, or 5.2%, at 7.63 pence
at 0842 GMT.
