Marksmen Energy Inc. (“
Marksmen” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to announce the following:
Initial Production Results of the
Meredith #1 well at Portage County, Ohio - Marksmen has a
Joint Operating Agreement with PEP Drilling LLC
(“PEP”) of Ohio, to recomplete up to 40 Clinton
Sandstone formation wells in Portage County, Ohio. Under the
terms of the agreement Marksmen would pay 100% of the capital costs
to earn an 80% working interest until 125% of capital payback is
reached (estimated to be approximately six months). Marksmen
has agreed that PEP has the right to participate in paying a share
of the capital costs up to 25% and working interests would be
adjusted accordingly.
The Meredith #1 well is now completed and on
production. The well was successfully hydraulically fractured with
approximately 5,000 barrels (“bbls”) of water plus
sand introduced into the formation at 1,450 psi. The current phase
of production is the ‘clean-up’ stage where frac water is being
recovered or ‘de-watered’, while still producing oil and gas.
As the de-watering volumes have decreased, oil and gas production
has been increasing.
Currently, production is approximately 50 bbls
of fluid (oil and water) per day. The oil production is 20
bbls per day and natural gas is 60 thousand cubic feet per day
(“mcf/day”) (6 mcf is an energy equivalent of 1
bbl of oil) with a combined total of 30 barrels of oil equivalent
per day. The oil is a high-quality Pennsylvania grade light oil,
with an API of 42 and is sold based on West Texas Intermediate
pricing. The natural gas meets pipeline specifications and is being
sold at prices based on NYMEX prices. As the de-watering
process continues, the Company anticipates, based on analogous
wells, that the oil and gas production will increase. A pressure
gradient test has not been carried out and the current production
numbers are not necessarily indicative of long-term
performance.
Archie Nesbitt, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Marksmen states “I am very pleased with the initial
production from this first of many recomplete well
opportunities. We look forward to beginning the next well
sometime in the next 30 days. This 40 well recomplete program
has the potential to add significantly to the Company’s oil and gas
production and allow Marksmen to move to another level. I
would like to thank all of our valued shareholder base for their
unwavering and continued support.”
Proposed Private Placement -
Marksmen announces that it plans to complete a non-brokered private
placement of up to 9,000,000 units (the “Units”)
of Marksmen at a price of $0.05 per Unit for aggregate gross
proceeds of up to a maximum of $450,000 (the
“Offering”). There is no minimum Offering. The
Units will be comprised of one (1) common share (“Common
Share”) and one (1) share purchase warrant
(“Warrant”) of Marksmen. Each whole Warrant
entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share for $0.075
expiring two (2) years from the date of the closing of the
Offering.
Marksmen may pay a cash commission or finder's
fee to qualified non-related parties of up to 8% of the gross
proceeds of the Offering (up to $36,000) and broker warrants (the
“Broker Warrants”) equal to up to 8% of the number
of Units sold in the Offering (up to 720,000 Broker
Warrants). Each Broker Warrant will entitle the holder to
acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.05 per Broker Warrant for
a period of one (1) year from the date of issuance.
In the following order depending on the proceeds
raised Marksmen intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to
pay debenture interest of $75,000, $250,000 toward the recompletion
of wells targeting the Clinton Sandstone formation in Portage
County, Ohio and the remaining $125,000 as working capital.
The Offering is being offered to all of the
existing shareholders of Marksmen who are permitted to subscribe
pursuant to the Existing Shareholder Exemption. This offer is open
until August 15, 2020 or such other date or dates as the Company
determines and one or more closings are expected to occur, with the
first closing anticipated for July 21, 2020.
Any existing shareholders interested in
participating in the Offering should contact the Company pursuant
to the contact information set forth below.
The Company has set June 26, 2020 as the record
date for determining existing shareholders entitled to subscribe
for Units pursuant to the Existing Shareholder Exemption.
Subscribers purchasing Units under the Existing Shareholder
Exemption will need to represent in writing that they meet certain
requirements of the Existing Shareholder Exemption, including that
they were, on or before the record date, a shareholder of the
Company and still are a shareholder as at the closing date. The
aggregate acquisition cost to a subscriber under the Existing
Shareholder Exemption cannot exceed $15,000 unless that subscriber
has obtained advice from a registered investment dealer regarding
the suitability of the investment.
As the Company is also relying on the Exemption
for Sales to Purchasers Advised by Investment Dealers, it confirms
that there is no material fact or material change related to the
Company which has not been generally disclosed. In addition to
offering the Units pursuant to the Existing Shareholder Exemption
and the Exemption for Sales to Purchasers Advised by Investment
Dealers, the Units are also being offered pursuant to other
available prospectus exemptions, including sales to accredited
investors. Unless the Company determines to increase the gross
proceeds of the Offering, if subscriptions received for the
Offering based on all available exemptions exceed the maximum
Offering amount of $450,000, Units will be allocated pro rata among
all subscribers qualifying under all available exemptions.
Completion of the Offering is subject to
regulatory approval including, but not limited to, the approval of
the TSX Venture Exchange. The Common Shares and Warrants issued
will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of the
closing of the Offering.
It is expected that insiders of the Company will
participate in the Offering.
Extension of Debenture -
Marksmen has reached an understanding that effective July 1, 2020
the debenture holder will extend its non-convertible secured
debenture (“Debenture”) that expires on December
31, 2020 to now expire on December 31, 2021. In connection
with the extension to the expiry date, the Company has agreed to
modify the warrant exercise price on 1,800,000 warrants issued in

connection with the Debenture is subject to regulatory approval,
