Singapore / TheNewswire / September 9, 2015 - Terra Nova Energy Ltd. ("Terra Nova") is pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached with its Joint Venture partners, Perseville Investing Inc. and Holloman Energy Corporation (OTCQB: HENC), to drill one well before the end of 2015 on Petroleum Exploration License ("PEL") 444.
Pursuant to the Joint Operating Agreement, all parties have agreed to drill a commitment well to test the "Baikal 1" target. The "Baikal 1" target is one of multiple targets selected by Terra Nova's technical team for drilling based on their extensive interpretation work on the reprocessed data from the Wingman 3D seismic survey, using the latest AVO and inversion techniques to further de-risk the prospects. The commitment well constitutes the initial well of a planned multi-well drill program on PEL 444.
Henry Aldorf, President and CEO, stated, "We are pleased to have come to an agreement to drill one of the well-defined prospects that our technical team identified during the interpretation and reprocessing of the Wingman 3D seismic shot on PEL 444." Mr. Aldorf continued, "Terra Nova is well capitalized to fund the 20.66% working interest for this commitment well and a planned multi-well drill program."
Terra Nova is pleased that PEL 444 will continue to be held in good standing within the Joint Venture. Plans to drill the well and a drill site location were agreed upon with Terra Nova's Joint Venture partners, Perseville Investing and Holloman Energy (OTCQB: HENC), at a Technical Sub-Committee meeting held on August 27, 2015. Subsequently, on August 31, 2015, the Operating Committee approved the proposed drilling plan and Authority for Expenditure (AFE).
Terra Nova's PEL 112 block was renewed for a five-year term in 2014 and remains in good standing.
