PetroMaroc Corp. is looking at a number alternatives to maximize shareholder value. The company said it was is pursuing a series of strategic and financial alternatives following the independent assessment of prospective resource in the Kechoula structure on the Sidi Moktar Exploration license in Morocco.
“We will be pursuing all available options to maximize shareholder value from our promising Kechoula structure,” said Tom Feuchtwanger, PetroMaroc’s President and CEO. “Our recently updated independent evaluation of the undiscovered petroleum initially-in-place and the prospective resource has defined the strong prospectivity and a path towards the commercial development of Kechoula.”
An independent evaluation by GLJ Petroleum Consultants confirmed PetroMaroc’s geological and geophysical model for the Lower Liassic reservoir of the Kechoula structure. The report also confirmed (81% probability) that the Lower Liassic clastic reservoir is filled to spill point, and reported a prospective resource of gross lease unrisked undiscovered petroleum initially-in-place of 394 Bcf (mean estimate). Petrophysical analyses of the sidewall cores collected during the drilling of the Kamar well reported visual porosities of 13% to 20% in the Lower Liassic reservoir interval.
The company has appointed Dundee Capital Market as financial adviser to evaluate alternatives that may include, but are not limited to, farm-out of Sidi Moktar, sale of the company, merger or other business combination, recapitalization, sale of all or a portion of the company’s assets, or any combination thereof. Dundee will also evaluate alternatives for PetroMaroc to continue its business plan, among other alternatives.
Parties who execute a confidentiality agreement will have access to an online and physical data room, as well as management and technical presentations. All interested parties should direct enquiries to Dundee.
PetroMaroc recently initiated a non-brokered private placement to raise proceeds of a minimum of Cdn $3 million and a maximum of Cdn $6 million to support near-term efforts while the search for an industry partner is underway. PetroMaroc closed the first tranche of the Private Placement raising Cdn $3 million on November 4. The Company anticipates to close the second tranche of the Private Placement in December. The Private Placement is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
