Jagercor Energy Corp. (JEM:CSE) (JAMTF) (the "Company" or "Jagercor") is very pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement to purchase a 95% interest (the “Agreement”) in Energia Compañía Petrolera Sociedad Anónima (“ECP”), an upstream oil and gas Argentinean Operator, to actively seek oil and gas fields operations in the Neuquina Basin, Argentina.
“This is a transformational moment for Jagercor”, stated Henk van Alphen, a Director of Jagercor. “The process of becoming a licensed operator in Neuquén Province is both time consuming and expensive. With this transaction, the Company has fast-tracked the process and on receipt of approvals will effectively become a licensed operator overnight. The Company’s strategy going forward will be to rapidly expand the number of oil services contracts and to acquire concessions in its own right.”
Under the terms of the Agreement with a private vendor, Jagercor will acquire an indirect 95% interest in ECP and as consideration for the acquisition, Jager Energia Argentina SA (“JEA”), the Company’s subsidiary in Argentina will issue new shares equal to a 40% equity interest to the vendor.
ECP is a local O&G operating company based in Neuquen Province. ECP currently operates a field with production of approximately 100 barrels of crude oil per day, on behalf of the Concession holder. ECP maintains a strong relationship with local authorities and their experienced operating staff makes ECP an ideal local partner for Jagercor as it enters into this new phase for the Company.
El Sauce Field is an exploitation concession, located in the southern side of the Neuquina Basin, one of the most prolific oil producing basins in Argentina. There are 20 producing oil wells, located over a good quality reservoir with potential for revitalization of wells, following infill drilling and potential field life extension. ECP has advised the Company that it expects to be granted the concession and the Company will provide cash funding to ECP to pursue the acquisition and to initiate workover activity over the next year.
Mr. Russo, Jagercor´s Chief Executive Officer, commented: “After a long period and a reorganization of the Board and Management Team; we were able to accomplish this step which puts us right back on course and helps to give surety to our business. Together with ECP’s staff we anticipate a quick growth pursuing several acquisitions, playing an important role in the game changing policy that the Argentinean government has initiated through all the tiers of the oil industry”
