CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwired – Sept. 5, 2014) – Sonde Resources Corp. (“Sonde”) (TSX VENTURE:SOQ)(NYSE MKT:SOQ) announced today that Journey Energy Partnership (“Journey”) has earned four sections (2,560 acres) of mineral rights from Technec Petroleum Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Sonde) by completing terms of a farm-out agreement.
Journey has earned Technec’s interest in the following lands:
TWP 59 Range W5M Section 34
TWP 60 Range W5M Section 2, 3, and 14
Journey earned this acreage by drilling and completing the 100/10-10-060-14W5M/00 horizontal well (more information on this well to follow in the Journey press release). Under the deal terms, Technec has assigned 100% working interest to Journey in the four section parcel in return for a Gross Over-riding Royalty Interest (“GORR”) in the Technec lands, plus the drilling and completion records from the Journey well. For further clarity, Technec will not receive a GORR from the Journey well, but is entitled to a GORR on any well(s) drilled in the future on the immediately-adjacent Technec lands. Technec also gained valuable information from the test which may prove important to future operations and / or monetization efforts.
Following the farm-out, Technec (Sonde) has about 44,490 net acres remaining in the Duvernay oil play and is currently marketing that interest. Please see maps below for a description of this concept.
