Done deal. Oilex's Managing Director Mr Joe Salomon said:
"We are pleased that Oilex and GSPC have been able to work together to agree this outcome and in doing so a major milestone has been achieved by the Company in the face of many challenges. The long-awaited resolution provides the Company with a pathway to evaluate the significant gas resource potential identified at Cambay. Oilex and GSPC continue to work together to finalise past pending costs related to certain field costs and regulatory spending prior to 2018.
Reaching this point is a credit to the focus, perseverance and capital discipline of the whole Oilex team. As a result of their efforts a pathway has been laid out which re-gains control over the Company's destiny as we now set about restarting operations with a 100% PI and focus on unlocking the significant potential value throughout our Cambay asset. Special thanks go to all of our shareholders in the UK and Australia for their continued support and belief in the Company. We also express our thanks to GSPC officials and staff within their exploration, finance and legal departments for their time, attention and support whilst resolving this matter. The Company's attention will now be focused on delivering on our short and medium term objectives and updating the market on our next steps. "
As part of the Transaction, Oilex will benefit through receipt of GSPC's share of the historic cost recovery pool, the total (100%) being approximately US$125 million
