Strat Petroleum Reaches Agreement with James Monroe Capital
TORONTO, May 15, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Strat Petroleum, Ltd. (OTC:SPRL), an emerging exploration and development company focusing on oil and gas opportunities in the Russian Federation, today announced that it has signed a letter of intent to form a joint venture with James Monroe Capital for the processing of waste/sludge oil in Bashkorstan.
The terms to complete the joint venture include initial capital funding by James Monroe of up to $1 million, with further funding available upon successful completion of between 2-3 processing plants.
Management's recent trip to the Russian Federation included meetings with local authorities and oil refineries, and visits to a number of new sites for establishment of processing plants. These new reservoirs have greater hydrocarbon content creating the opportunity for much stronger revenues and profits.
Sam Hyams, President & CEO of Strat, stated, "I am excited by this new relationship with James Monroe, as the possibilities for funding opportunities presented in oil waste/sludge reservoirs and support available from the James Monroe team's knowledge, experience and network in the oil and gas industry will be very beneficial to both Companies."
Currently Strat is working on securing licenses for processing oil waste that will allow it to secure 100% of the rights to process the reserves in the reservoir, thus not requiring local joint venture partners.
Strat is pursuing a couple of other projects which will be announced in the near future along with further information on progress regarding oil waste processing.
