Eaglewood Energy Announces PPL 259 Farmout

03/12/2013 1:00pm

Marketwired Canada


Eaglewood Energy Inc. ("Eaglewood") (TSX VENTURE:EWD) is pleased to announce
that it has executed a farmout agreement with Ketu Petroleum Ltd, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Horizon Oil Ltd (ASX:HZN) ("Horizon") for 20% of Eaglewood's 65%
participating interest in PPL 259 in the Western Province of Papua New Guinea.
On completion of the transaction, Eaglewood will continue to own a 45%
participating interest in PPL 259 and retain operatorship.


Horizon currently has a 25% participating interest in PPL 259 which, after
completion of the farmout, will be increased to 45%. Further, upon completion of
Horizon's sale to Osaka Gas of 40% of its PNG interests (announced in May 2013)
its participating interest in PPL 259 will be reduced to 35%. Accordingly, on
completion of the farmout announced today and the Osaka Gas deal, the equity
interests in PPL 259 will be Eaglewood 45% (operator), Horizon 35%, Osaka Gas
10% and Mega Fortune International 10%. Horizon is also the operator of PRL 4
which contains the Stanley discovery adjacent to PPL 259 and PRL 21 (which
contains the Elevala, Ketu and Tingu discoveries) adjacent to the Ubuntu-1 gas
condensate discovery in PRL-28, in which Eaglewood has a 40% participating
interest and is operator. 


To earn the additional 20% participating interest in PPL 259, Horizon will be
required to pay to Eaglewood approximately USD $ 3.75 million for Eaglewood's
sunk costs, and in addition to Horizon funding its 35% participating interest,
it will be required to pay USD $5 million of Eaglewood's expenses for the next
PPL 259 well. 


It is currently expected that the next PPL-259 exploration well will spud during
the first half of 2014, although the exact timing of the well is yet to be
finalised with Horizon and the other PPL-259 participants.


The completion of the farmout transaction is conditional upon receipt of
regulatory approvals and certain other customary conditions. 


CEO Brad Hurtubise commented, "We are very pleased, upon closing of this farmout
transaction, to be fully funded to drill our next well in PPL 259 and have some
incremental capital to help finance our participation in the Stanley development
or secure additional seismic to identify our next drilling location. We are also
pleased to be furthering our relationship with a knowledgeable and experienced
partner like Horizon, who will be operating the next well. We expect, subject to
rig availability, the well will spud in the first half of next year."


Eaglewood is a junior Canadian oil and gas exploration company that trades on
the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "EWD".
