Land Purchase MOU Signed for Prabu-1 Drill Site
During the March quarter Quest Petroleum NL (Quest or the Company) concluded negotiations and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the land owner of the Prabu-1 drill site, the proposed site for the first well to be drilled at the Company’s Ranau PSC in South Sumatra, Indonesia (refer Figure 1).
The MOU was executed with the owners of land situated at Way Kanan, which is in the south east portion of the Ranau PSC, approximately 140 kilometres north-west of the South Sumatran capital, Lampung.
In parallel to the land negotiation process, which successfully concluded with the signing of the MOU, the Company engaged in legal due diligence to confirm tenure of the site and expects to conclude this process imminently, which will facilitate a final land purchase agreement being signed.
The proposed Prabu -1 drill site (formerly Kayumanis-1), is situated on well drained, elevated land adjacent to a paved asphalt road which allows good access to for drilling and completion operations. The drill site is situated on the edge of an identified structural high proximate to three significant sub-basins with clear potential for hydrocarbon generation.
Expanded Production Strategy and Strategic Partnership
The Company continues to receive and review proposals to participate in projects that could compliment the Company’s ambition to become a significant hydrocarbon producer. This has necessitated the generation of an expanded business plan, project acquisition, funding strategy, the strategic partnership with Moyes & Co and their assistance to facilitate funding at the asset level. This will minimize dilution in the corporate entity and will allow the Company to participate in some of the multiple projects on offer.
Moyes & Co is an oil and gas focused advisory firm with a strong international reputation. The Moyes team will utilize its deep technical skills to provide a range of services including evaluation, independent third party assessment of selected assets, technical and legal due diligence on acquisitions and assist in acquisition and production funding at the asset level.
