CAMAC and Bumi Armada Ink LoI for FPSO Armada Perdana

CAMAC Energy Inc. (“CAMAC”) announced that a letter of intent (“LOI”) has been signed regarding terms and conditions of a long-term agreement for the floating, production, storage, and offloading system (“FPSO”) ARMADA PERDANA.

The signed LOI provides for an initial term of five years beginning January 1, 2014, with an automatic extension for an additional term of two years unless terminated by CAMAC with prior notice. The parties are working towards executing a definitive agreement on or before January 31, 2014.

The FPSO ARMADA PERDANA can process up to 40,000 barrels of oil per day, with a storage capacity of one million barrels of oil. It currently supports daily production of approximately 2,000 barrels of oil and 40 mmcf of natural gas from the Oyo Field offshore Nigeria in OML 120.

“FPSO ARMADA PERDANA has been instrumental in supporting our ongoing operations deepwater offshore Nigeria. It has historically provided a high utilization rate and we are pleased to have this long-term infrastructure in place that will allow us to execute our development and exploration program. Along with the previously announced multi-year drilling rig program, $270 million equity investment from the Public Investment Corporation (SOC) Limited of South Africa, and the proposed $300 million bond offering, we will be well capitalized to increase production, revenues, reserves and resources. 2014 will be a transformational and exciting year for CAMAC as we focus on bringing our attractive portfolio of investment opportunities to production and begin generating significant cash flow,” said Chairman and CEO Kase Lawal.

Management has commenced the roadshow presentation to institutional investors for the proposed $300 million bond offering which will provide CAMAC the capital to complete Oyo-7, drill and complete Oyo-8, and drill and complete Oyo-9. Pro forma closing of the Allied Energy Plc transaction, these three wells will bring online a total of approximately 21,000 bopd net.
