Horizon Petroleum Announces Joint Venture on Lachowice Natural Gas Field
09 8월 2018 - 9:00PM
Business Wire
Horizon Petroleum Ltd. (the “Company” or “Horizon”)
(TSXV: HPL) is pleased to announce that it has entered
into a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with a private European
entity (the “Farmee”) for a farm-in on the Lachowice
conventional natural gas field in the Bielsko-Biala concession in
southern Poland (the “Bielsko-Biala Concession”), which
Horizon is in the process of acquiring, as previously disclosed in
Horizon’s press releases dated September 19, 2017 and June 13,
2018.
Under the terms of the LOI, the Farmee has agreed to fund 100%
of the capital expenditures required to bring the Lachowice field
to first production, with Horizon continuing as operator. In
return, the Farmee will receive 50% of the equity in Horizon’s
subsidiary that will hold the Bielsko-Biala Concession. After
satisfying the capital commitment (the “Farm-in Obligation”)
and earning its 50% of the equity, future expenditures and profits
on the Bielsko-Biala Concession will be shared equally. The Farm-in
Obligation includes funding all costs related to drill, complete
and test the first well as well as the surface production equipment
required to produce the well. In aggregate, the Farm-in Obligation
is expected to total approximately US$8 million (approximately
C$10.5 million). The first well is expected to spud late in the
first quarter of 2019, with initial production estimated at 3 MMCFD
(facilities constrained) expected to begin in the fourth quarter of
2019. The LOI is non-binding and is subject to a number of
conditions, including formal documentation of a Joint Operating and
Shareholder Agreement, confirmation of the Farmee’s financial
capacity, the closing of Horizon’s acquisition of the Bielsko-Biala
Concession and required regulatory approvals. The Farm-in
Obligation provides Horizon with an accretive plan to finance the
capital expenditures to reach first production.
The LOI relates only to the Bielsko-Biala Concession, which
forms a portion of Horizon’s acquisition of five concessions in
Poland (the “Acquisition”). The details of the Acquisition
are contained in Horizon’s previously issued press releases dated
September 19, 2017 and June 13, 2018. The Acquisition is expected
to close in the third quarter of this year. The remaining four
concessions will be owned 100% by Horizon after closing of the
Acquisition.
Readers are cautioned that the Company does not yet own the
Bielsko-Biala Concession to which the LOI relates, and that the
completion of the Acquisition is subject to such uncertainties and
assumptions which have previously been disclosed by the
Company.
Private Placement Update
On June 13, 2018, Horizon announced its intention to raise up to
C$5 million through a private placement of up to 100,000,000 common
shares of Horizon at a price of $0.05 per share (the “Private
Placement”). Net proceeds of the Private Placement are
anticipated to be used to close the Acquisition, prepare the Polish
assets for development and for general corporate purposes. Horizon
entered into an engagement agreement with Gneiss Energy Limited, a
London, United Kingdom based energy-focused advisory practice, for
the purposes of raising new equity in Europe. In addition, Horizon
is raising funds from Canadian and certain European investors on a
non-brokered private placement basis. Horizon expects to close the
Private Placement in one or more tranches in the third quarter of
2018.

In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
this press release contains forward-looking information regarding
the completion of the farm-in pursuant to the LOI, the anticipated
terms and size of the Farm-in Obligation, the anticipated potential
of the Acquisition, the closing and timing of closing of the
Acquisition, the closing and timing of closing of the Private
Placement, the use of proceeds from the Private Placement, capital
program and allocation thereof, future production including the
anticipated timing and production of the Bielsko-Biala Concession,
development and drilling plans, potential growth, as well as the
source of funding the Company’s capital spending. Forward-looking
information typically uses words such as "anticipate", "believe",
"project", "expect", "goal", "plan", "intend" or similar words
suggesting future outcomes, statements that actions, events or
conditions "may", "would", "could" or "will" be taken or occur in
the future.
The forward-looking information is based on certain key
expectations and assumptions made by Horizon’s management,
including expectations and assumptions previously disclosed by
Horizon, and in addition with respect to prevailing commodity
prices and differentials, exchange rates, interest rates,
applicable royalty rates and tax laws; future production rates and
estimates of operating costs; performance of future wells; reserve
and resource volumes; anticipated timing and results of capital

employees acquired through acquisitions, including the Acquisition,
the ability to market natural gas successfully and Horizon’s
ability to access capital. Although the Company believes that the
expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking
information is based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be
placed on the forward-looking information because Horizon can give
no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since
forward-looking information addresses future events and conditions,
by its very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties.
Horizon’s actual results, performance or achievement could differ
materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the
forward-looking information and, accordingly, no assurance can be
given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking
information will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what
benefits that we will derive therefrom. Management has included the
above summary of assumptions and risks related to forward-looking
