Tamarack Valley Energy announces strategic Clearwater oil acquisitions, $47 million equity financing and preliminary 2021 guidance
December 14, 20201:30 PM CNWCALGARY, AB – Tamarack Valley Energy Ltd. (“Tamarack” or the “Company“) (TSX: TVE) is pleased to announce two strategic acquisitions (together, the “Acquisitions“) which will establish a significant consolidated and operated position in the Clearwater oil play in the Greater Nipisi area along with interests in the Jarvie area of Alberta for a total net purchase price of $74.0 million, after deducting the proceeds from the sale of a 2% newly created gross overriding royalty (the “GORR Disposition“) on a select portion of the acquired properties. Pursuant to the Acquisitions, Tamarack will acquire approximately 2,000 barrels per day of crude oil production and 107,000 net acres of Clearwater rights (the “Assets“). On closing, Tamarack will control and operate 100% of the Greater Nipisi acquired assets. Concurrent with the completion of the Acquisitions, Tamarack will complete a $47 million equity financing (the “Financing“).
The Acquisitions and the Financing will provide Tamarack with a significant position in one of the most economic oil plays in Western Canada and further the Company’s strategy of maintaining a resilient balance sheet while pursuing opportunities to enhance free adjusted funds flow and sustainability.
“The Assets are complementary to Tamarack’s strengths in execution and recovery improvement. The Assets also complement our expanding waterflood production in Veteran and boost the Company’s free adjusted funds flow over the next several years,” stated Brian Schmidt, President and CEO of Tamarack.
