SOP-v...in the news Solana to acquire Colombian gas interest Mr. J. Bruce Carruthers reports Solana Petroleum, as part of its previously reported Colombian petroleum production program, has reached an agreement in principle to purchase a 42-per-cent working interest in an existing producing natural gas field in the prolific Magdalena basin of Colombia. The purchase is subject to satisfactory conclusion of due diligence currently being conducted by Solana, as well as the execution of a mutually satisfactory purchase and sale agreement between the parties. In that event, the transaction is expected to close by the end of September of this year. Completion of the purchase will afford Solana existing gas production with a marketing contract in place, additional proven developed and proven undeveloped natural gas reserves, as well as additional possible reserves from other prospective structures on the property. J. Bruce Carruthers concluded: "Solana is pleased to initiate our Colombian production program with a purchase of existing gas production and revenue, with good upside potential from both development drilling within the field and exploratory drilling of adjoining prospects. Upon closing of the transaction, which is subject to the approval of Ecopetrol, the Colombian state oil company, Solana will be operator of the gas field and the encompassing contract block." WARNING: The company relies upon litigation protection for "forward-looking" statements. (c) Copyright 2002 Canjex Publishing Ltd. stockwatch.com
