LNG Energy Ltd. announced that its subsidiaries, Telemu No. 18 Limited, LNG Energy (PNG) Limited and LNG Energy No. 2 Limited, have closed their farm-in agreement with wholly owned subsidiaries of Heritage Oil Plc.
In exchange for an 80% participating interest in the PPL 319 and PRL 13 licenses, Heritage has made a cash payment to Telemu of US$4 million plus the reimbursement of costs associated with the recently completed 22 km Tuyu seismic program.
In addition to the cash payment, Heritage has also committed to funding the acquisition of a minimum of 100 km of seismic within the license areas and the drilling of one exploration well in PPL 319 to a depth sufficient to test identified exploration targets. The 22 km Tuyu program will count towards the fulfillment of these commitments.
“We look forward to continuing with the technical program that was started late in 2012. With the additional exploration to be undertaken on the PPL 319 and PRL 13 licenses, we remain confident of the hydrocarbon potential of the license and look forward to the results generated,” commented David Nelson, President & CEO of LNG.
