BOTTOM LINE....
• Project Icewine - Conventional Farm-out
The Project Icewine Conventional Portfolio farmout campaign of the Central North Slope acreage continued throughout Q4. The level of interest and the calibre of parties visiting the virtual and physical dataroom remained highly encouraging. The Company is seeking to attract a farminee to fund and participate in the exploration and appraisal drilling of the significant prospectivity delineated on the Western Play Fairway and to further the exploration effort on the Central and Eastern Leases.
During the quarter, 88 Energy elected to accommodate requests for an extension to the year- end deadline to the campaign to maximise the number of bid ready parties, whilst also honouring the logistical timeline to enable drilling of multiple wells in the 2020 operating season. Consequently, the Company is now targeting close of a deal in 1Q 2019.
