“What is happening with the jv at cole creeek?”
Did you really just ask that? lol
24th July RNS:
“COPL and an established energy company ("JVCo") have entered into an LOI for the negotiation of definitive agreement(s) for a Joint Venture (the "JV") to develop and exploit its oil reserves and resources at its Cole Creek project in Converse and Natrona Counties Wyoming. The LOI grants exclusivity to JVCo for a period of time to allow for the negotiation of terms, and structure of the JV to be agreed, which include the consents required by COPLA. The LOI is subject to confidentiality provisions in a Confidentiality Agreement entered into by COPLA and JVCo in October 2022. These confidentiality provisions will terminate concurrently with the exclusivity termination, and other contractual conditions. The contemplated JV does not include the Company's Barron Flats Shannon miscible flood EOR project.
Arthur Millholland, President and CEO commented: "We have been working on this project for some time. We first identified the potential at Cole Creek before completion of our Atomic acquisition in March 2021. Our acquisition of the complimentary assets of Cuda in July 2022 gave our Company full control of the Cole Creek project. This LOI is the first step completed in a process initiated in October of last year after the Cuda acquisition. The company that has entered into the LOI with us is the best partner we could have of the ones we have considered. Our Company brings considerable experience and understanding of Cole Creek, including operating the early stage enriched gas miscible EOR project at the neighboring Barron Flats Shannon Unit. This EOR experience can be directly applied to Cole Creek as they have many similar reservoir characteristics. We look forward to updating our stakeholders when able as the process proceeds."
6th September RNS:
“In addition, the Company announces that Arthur Millholland has agreed to move from Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company with immediate effect, to President of the Company's affiliate, COPL America Inc. Mr. Millholland's technical expertise was instrumental in understanding the long-term value of the Barron Flats Unit miscible flood and acquiring it for such a relatively low cost. Through further geological study, he and his team have revealed a vast area of bypassed oil pay in the Cole Creek area, adjacent to the BFU. The prospective horizons are currently under Joint Venture negotiation with a respected industry leader. The BFU and the potential joint venture requires the singular focus of Mr. Millholland and the technical team. As President of COPLA, he will be well positioned to continue to add value and success to COPL, where his strengths in upstream hydrocarbon exploration and development will focus on completing the Joint Venture discussions.”
Key point from the last RNS… “will focus on completing the Joint Venture discussions.”
