San Joaquin Basin Project, California
As initially discussed in August 2019, Cobra entered into a participation agreement (the “Agreement”) with Makk Energy Ltd., a private oil and gas company controlled by Murray Rodgers, a Director of Cobra and QC Energy LLC, a private oil and gas company based in Denver, Colorado. Pursuant to the Agreement, Cobra has a nonoperating 25% working interest in the subject project. In early 2020, the joint venture group undertook an initiative to attract a strategic partner to fund leasing and drilling activity in the project area. While these initiatives were initially promising (with technical due diligence being concluded with favourable outcomes), the recent outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic, combined with the significant declines in the oil equity markets, has resulted in a pullback of interest in the project. The joint venture partners will continue to pursue new sources of capital for this project while working within the current global and local uncertainties surrounding oil and gas investments.
