Business Wire
First Colombia Gold (OTCQB: FCGD) (“First Colombia” or “The
Company”) is pleased to announce it has signed a Letter of Intent
(“LOI”) to acquire a nineteen and a half percent (19.5%) interest
in three private oil companies located in south central
Kentucky.
The signed LOI outlines the structure of the transaction, which
will give First Colombia a working interest in over 50 active
producing wells, ownership in 39 active oil and gas leases covering
5,322 acres, as well as full title and ownership to six acres of
real estate, which includes a 6800 sq. ft. office complex and
maintenance facility. The LOI also includes drilling and operating
equipment including two drilling rigs and six completion rigs.
This acquisition will add numerous revenue opportunities and
provide cash-flow for operations. The wells being acquired have
produced in excess of 8,000 barrels of crude within the last year.
The acquisition of the interest in these wells will allow First
Columbia to offer a wide variety of contract services including
drilling, well completion, pump installation, complete oilfield
roustabout services, permitting services, salt water disposal, acid
treatments, as well as hauling and logistics services to transport
the crude from the customer to the refinery. All of these services
are currently being offering by the companies we are acquiring an
interest in.
First Columbia’s CEO, Dr. Robert Gates commented, “Acquiring an
interest in these wells, along with the real estate and other
assets included in the transaction, will prove to be a cornerstone
in building our oil and gas portfolio. The wells we are acquiring
have a solid track record of production, producing already 8,000
barrels of crude over the last year which we believe can be
increased. This is a transaction that has a history of being a
performing commercial property, so adding this to our portfolio
should prove to be beneficial to our shareholders.”
Gates continued, “Our goal is to be self-reliant and create a
vertical business model. Over the last decade, oil and gas
production in the U.S. has skyrocketed, especially since the
initiative to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil. With U.S.
crude oil prices over $100 per barrel, many larger oil companies
are looking at Kentucky and exploration activity is rising.
Acquiring an interest in oil and gas properties ,and the service
capabilities for vertical integration meets our corporate strategy.
We are amassing the best properties we can find and assembling the
best management team for our stockholders.”
First Columbia’s board and leadership believe that by providing
the necessary working capital, and by creating an owner/operator
mentality, we can expedite the rework of existing wells and begin
new leasing and drilling programs. Preliminary numbers indicate an
opportunity to add an additional 22 wells that are already
permitted and drilled that can be brought online within the next
sixty days.
"We recently announced our plans to acquire a pipeline of oil
and gas projects, which we believe have solid potential for
building shareholder value. The acquisition of this interest meets
that criteria,” commented VP of Merger and Acquisitions Randy Ross.
“The companies we are acquiring an interest in have been limited on
their oil and gas production, due to lack of capital. Our
management and staff have experience in financing public and
private companies, and expertise in the extractive industries to
build growth in the energy sector through select acquisitions, and
improving operating capability.”
