ADM Energy PLC
("ADM" or the "Company")
OML 113 Update: PetroNor Acquires Aje interests from New Age
(Africa Global Energy), Ltd.
ADM Energy PLC (AIM: ADME; BER and FSE: P4JC), a natural
resources investing company, notes the announcement that PetroNor
E&P Limited ("PetroNor") (OSE Ticker: PNOR) has acquired the
32% cost sharing interest and 24% profit share interest of New Age
(Africa Global Energy), Ltd. ("New Age") in OML 113.
PetroNor agreed to acquire New Age's interest in OML 113 for an
upfront consideration of USD six million, with a contingent
consideration of up to USD 20 million based on future gas
production volumes. This acquisition represents PetroNor's second
acquisition into the field, noting the completion of PetroNor's
acquisition of 100% of the shares of Panoro Energy ASA's fully
owned subsidiaries, Pan-Petroleum Services Holding BV ("PPSH") and
Pan-Petroleum Nigeria Holding ("PPNH"), which held 100% of the
shares in Pan-Petroleum Aje Limited ("Pan Aje") as announced on 13
July 2022.
In an announcement from PetroNor on 2 October 2023, interim CEO
Jen Pace, stated: "This acquisition is consistent with PetroNor's
commitment to expanding its portfolio while demonstrating
shareholder value. Acquiring New Age's interests represents a big
step in achieving the partner alignment necessary to move forward
with plans for the re-development of the Aje field. We are excited
about the potential value of this gas resource which is located
close to major population centres and offers a cleaner source of
energy for power generation and industrial use compared to current
alternatives."
Stefan Olivier, CEO of ADM Energy, said: "We welcome PetroNor's
acquisition of New Age's interest in OML 113 which, in our view,
Aje is a highly attractive, geologically de-risked asset which has
produced more than 5 million barrels of oil.
"With the acquisition by PetroNor of Panoro's interest in 2022,
PetroNor's partnership with YFP Deepwater and now consolidation of
the New Age interest - PetroNor is now in position to provide the
strong and capable leadership that Aje requires. We look forward to
working with PetroNor toward re-initiation of development activity
and realising the intrinsic value of ADM's holding in OML 113."
ADM Energy holds a 9.2% profit interest in the Aje field in OML
113, which covers an area of 835km(2) offshore Nigeria. Aje has
multiple oil, gas and gas condensate reservoirs in the Turonian,
Cenomanian and Albian sandstones with five wells drilled to
date.
