CGX Signs Letter of Intent to Acquire Pomeroon Block
from Century
Toronto,
Ontario - CGX Energy Inc. (OYL.U-TSX-V) is pleased to announce that
through its wholly owned subsidiary, CGX Resources Inc., it has entered
into a Letter of Intent with Century Guyana, Ltd. to acquire Century’s
100% interest in the Pomeroon Prospecting Licence located offshore,
in the Guyana Basin. The letter of intent is subject to Board, Government
and regulatory approvals.
The
Pomeroon License issued by the Government of Guyana in November
1997 is approximately 11,254 sq km (2,781,000 Acres) in size
and is located between CGX’s 100% owned Annex portion of
the Corentyne Licence, and the Plataforma Deltana, located offshore
Venezuela. Water depths in the concession range from 20
to 170 metres. In this area, significant work commitments
and activity have commenced by a number of multinational oil
companies in joint venture with PDVSA, Venezuela’s state-owned
petroleum company.
The
northern portion of Century’s concession is on the southern
flank of a huge delta system of late Cretaceous to Tertiary age,
and includes two hydrocarbon source beds. Century re-interpreted
available seismic data on the property, and identified 2 turbidite
targets for drilling. Exploration on the Licence has been on
standby pending clarification of maritime boundary issues between
Guyana and Venezuela.
The
final terms of the sale will be released upon the execution of
a Sale and Purchase agreement and receipt of the required consents.
