Prospera Announces Execution of Purchase Agreement to Acquire Additional Interest in Saskatchewan and Alberta Oil and Gas Properties

KELOWNA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 31, 2018 / Prospera Energy Inc. (“Prospera” or the “Corporation”) (PEI:TSX-V; OF6A:FRA) announces that further to the Corporation’s press release issued on December 13, 2018, Prospera has completed the acquisition of an additional 15-per-cent working interest at the western Saskatchewan (Cuthbert, Hearts Hills and Luseland) and eastern Alberta (Cuthbert) properties. Prospera has now increased the Corporation’s total working interest at these properties from 20 per cent to 35 per cent.

Financing for this acquisition was completed through a combination of cash on hand and advances from certain insiders of the Corporation.

About the Cuthbert, Hearts Hills and Luseland properties

The Cuthbert, Hearts Hills and Luseland properties are located approximately 330 kilometers east of Calgary, Alberta and contain a total of 64 sections (approximately 41,526 acres) of land (62 net sections). Approximately 94 per cent of the land is located in Saskatchewan and approximately 6 per cent of the land is located in Alberta. There are 240 oil and 12 natural gas wells producing on the properties. Proven reserves are significant at these properties. Original oil in place (OOIP) (which is referred to as total petroleum volume of oil initially in place stored in a reservoir and includes petroleum contained in the subsurface as well as those quantities already produced) is estimated to be 299 million barrels of oil equivalent. The Corporation’s strategy is to continue the development and expansion of these properties throughout 2019. There are also approximately 34 sections of undeveloped land.

Production volumes are commonly expressed on a barrel of oil equivalent (“BOE”) basis whereby natural gas volumes are converted at a ratio of six thousand cubic feet to one barrel of oil. The intention is to convert oil and natural gas measurement units into one basis for improved analysis of results and comparisons with other industry participants. The term BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. The conversion ratio is based on an energy equivalent method and does not represent an economic value equivalency at the wellhead.

Forward-looking statements are often identified by terms such as “will”, “may”, “should”, “anticipate”, “expects” and similar expressions. All statements other than statements of historical fact, included in this release, including, without limitation, statements regarding future plans and objectives of the Corporation, are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Although Prospera believes that the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because Prospera can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct.

The reader is cautioned that assumptions used in the preparation of any forward-looking information may prove to be incorrect. Events or circumstances may cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted, as a result of numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Prospera Inc. As a result, Prospera cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will materialize, and the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking information. Such information, although considered reasonable by management at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated.
