Petsec Finalizes Interest Sale in China JV
Petsec advised that the final tranche of consideration in respect of the sale of its China Joint Venture interest has been received. The transaction was completed under the previously announced Sale and Purchase Agreement whereby Horizon Oil acquired Petsec's wholly owned subsidiary, Petsec Petroleum LLC, which held the Company's 25% working interest in the Block 22/12 Beibu Gulf project in China.
The sale for A$38 million in cash, plus 15 million Horizon share options with an exercise price of A$0.37, follows Petsec's previous announcements that it is debt free after eliminating US $100 million of debt over the past three years.
Petsec Energy Ltd's Chairman, Mr Terry Fern, said the Company will use the sale proceeds to fund the expansion and transition of its existing USA oil and gas operations to onshore areas of the USA, and to participate in the rapidly expanding shale oil industry.
"The Company's strategy is to not only move into areas where the shale source rocks are oil-prone but also to continue with our structured transition to a greater focus on exploration for liquid rich reserves in general," Mr. Fern said.
