CGrowth Capital, Inc. Closes Escrow on Wyoming Oil Leases
West Salt Creek Property Boarders Anadarko Reserve
SILVERDALE, WA--(Marketwired - Oct 29, 2013) - CGrowth Capital, Inc. (OTC Pink: CGRA) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed escrow and completed the purchase of 2,064 acres of Wyoming oil leases with 65 offset drilling locations from West Salt Creek, Inc. ("WSC"). The leases include active wells with current production along with the associated fixtures, pumps, vehicles, and tanks for the current field operation. Located in the Powder River Basin, the property boarders and shares the same physical characteristics as Anadarko Petroleum's Salt Creek project (thus the West Salt Creek name).
"Success!" stated Bill Wright, CEO of CGrowth Capital, Inc. "A great deal of time and energy by everyone involved has paid off. Again, I want to personally thank the West Salt Creek, Inc. management, staff, and consultants, as well as our internal staff and partners, for their professionalism in closing this transaction timely. It is rewarding to see everyone smiling at the conclusion of our hard work."
Mr. Wright continued, "The closing of this transaction does much more for us than proving our diligence in completing transactions. We truly have acquired an asset with yet untapped potential -- both in terms of the fields and wells themselves, as well as the team of people coming on board. To really appreciate what the Company has you need to actually see it. Being able to throw a rock from our property to one of the biggest Anadarko reserves in North America is really quite special."
Montgomery George, President of West Salt Creek, Inc., stated, "It is amazing to see how much a relatively unknown company has in the works and how quickly they are able to get things done. CGrowth Capital's enthusiasm for this project, as well as their unwavering commitment to their current mining project, has been very infectious. We are excited to be helping the company moving forward and to be a part of the future success. While the immediate daily production from the oil fields is helpful, we are already seeing results from the revitalization work on the existing wells. Our first well workover increased production from a half barrel a day to over 22 barrels of oil per day for a single well. The next 6 months should be very exciting."
Initial net working interest on the existing wells prior to additional workover and drilling is estimated to be 8-10 BOPD. A revitalization plan for the existing wells anticipates increasing the production over time for the Company's working interest. A group of wells are currently in a revitalization plan with a third party in the field, which the Company will maintain a 20% working interest in. The revitalization plan does not require any capital investment by the Company. Geological reports for the area are estimating oil potential up to seven million barrels of oil.
The Effective Date of the purchase has been set as September 30, 2013 and will be reflected in the Company's third quarter financials. The purchase price for the property leases, well interest, and equipment is $3,900,000. The Company paid for the acquisition through the issuance of a) $3,000,000 in Preferred A stock (which amounted to 300,000 shares of Preferred A stock valued at $10.00 per shares). The shares have a two year lock up, may be called by the Company during that time period at the stated price plus a 6% cumulative annual premium, and may be converted to common shares after the hold period at a 20% discount to market; and b) $900,000 in Common stock (which amounted to 9,000,000 shares of Common stock valued at $0.10 per share). The common stock is subject to a 1 year lock up, a metering and block trade restriction, and Rule 144. At no time may the seller own more than 4.9% of the Commons shares of the Company. Additionally, the Company issued Warrants to the seller for the purchase of 4,500,000 shares of Common stock. The Warrants have a strike price of $0.50 per share, expire on the fifth anniversary of the closing, and are to be paid for in cash.
