OML 113 Update

ADM Energy PLC (AIM: ADME; BER and FSE: P4JC), a natural resources investing company, notes the announcements today from Panoro Energy ASA ("Panoro") (OSE Ticker: PEN), and PetroNor E&P Limited ("PetroNor") (OSE Ticker: PNOR), that all government approvals have now been received for Panoro to sell 100% of its ownership in OML 113 to PetroNor (the "Transaction").  It is now expected that the transaction will now formally close within 90 days.

In an announcement from PetroNor on 27 January 2022, PetroNor's interim CEO, Jens Pace, stated: "The receipt of this long-awaited consent is exciting news for PetroNor and for the development of OML 113. The Aje Field Development Plan is focused on producing and commercialising gas, and has the potential to provide low emission energy corresponding to 5 per cent of the total power production of Nigeria. The terms of the transaction remain the same as per our previous announcements. I look forward to working with our partners on the Aje license and to welcoming the Panoro shareholders into PetroNor."

Osamede Okhomina, CEO of ADM Energy, said: "We are pleased that this transaction has now received all government approvals. PetroNor's decision to acquire a significant stake in the Aje field is a strong endorsement of the quality and significant potential of the asset. PetroNor's considerable experience in oil and gas development and production will help push forward the field's development plan and take Aje to the next stage of its development." 

ADM Energy holds a 9.2% profit interest in the Aje field in OML 113, which covers an area of 835km² offshore Nigeria. Aje has multiple oil, gas and gas condensate reservoirs in the Turonian, Cenomanian and Albian sandstones with five wells drilled to date.
