Panoro Announces Closing of Acquisition of OMV Tunisia Upstream GmbH
Oslo, 21 December 2018 - Panoro Energy ASA (the "Company" or "Panoro" with OSE
Ticker: PEN) is pleased announce the completion of the acquisition of OMV
Tunisia Upstream GmbH and its Tunisian assets, as detailed in our prior press
releases.
Panoro Tunisia Production AS ("PTP", 60% owned) now holds an indirect 49%
interest in five oil producing concessions in Tunisia with net 2P reserves of
8.1 million barrels as at July 1, 2018, and current net production of
approximately 2,000 bopd from 14 wells. PTP also indirectly owns 50% of Thyna
Petroleum Services S.A. ("TPS"), the experienced Tunisian based operating
company for the five oil producing concessions.
John Hamilton, Chief Executive Officer of Panoro said: "We are extremely pleased
to have closed this transformational acquisition in Tunisia, which is consistent
with Panoro's strategy to continue building a leading international independent
exploration and production company focused on Africa. The TPS concessions are
high quality oil producing assets, with low decline rates and low breakeven
levels, are well managed, and contain substantial upside potential. We look
forward to working with ETAP, the experienced TPS team and all stakeholders
involved in these concessions. With our strategic partners Beender Petroleum and
Mercuria Energy we intend to achieve our ambitious in-country growth objectives
and to maximize the value of our portfolio over the short and long term."
