2016 Annual Report
Melbourne, Mar 30, 2017 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Indago Energy Ltd (
ASX:INK) (POGLY:OTCMKTS) is pleased to provide the Company's 2016 Annual Report for Indago Energy Ltd and its controlled entities.
CHAIRMAN'S LETTER
2016 has been a year of major transformation and restructuring for your Company after many years of unsuccessful exploration, high costs and a distressed share price.
In last year's annual report I wrote that your new board's first task in 2016 was to complete a review of the Company's existing assets and to develop a strategy to restore and generate shareholder wealth.
And indeed this is what has occurred. During 2016 shareholders approved a name change from Pryme Energy to Indago Energy and a re-structure of the issued capital on a one for ten basis. Indago has also sold non-performing assets and has entered into an agreement to buy an exceptional heavy oil technology.
After a review of the Company's assets, both the Capitola Oil and the Four Rivers projects were sold for a combined total of A$3.1m. The internal review concluded that those assets had limited potential to generate meaningful value for shareholders.
A review of the Company's Newkirk project in Kay County Oklahoma, concluded that Indago's leases are prospective for oil and gas but require a successful well appraisal programme, of up to four wells, prior to assessing development options. Indago's partner (and Operator) Empire Energy Limited, is contemplating a well test programme in mid 2017. Indago's participation in that programme will depend on well costs and final well locations proposed by the Operator.
For the financial year ended December 31, 2016, Indago recorded a Total Comprehensive Loss of A$1,145,520.
The most significant event for 2016 occurred in October when Indago signed a Memorandum of Understanding to acquire the companies and associated Intellectual Property of Hydrocarbon Dynamics - a business and technology that can be applied to improve oil flow rates by the re-liquification of heavy oil depositions in wells and pipelines.
Shareholders will be asked to vote on this transformative acquisition on 3 April, 2017. If approved, Indago expects a significant proportion of its resources will be devoted to the development of both sales of the HCD product line to oil producers and pipeline companies, and also to the identification of, and investment in, upstream oil projects where Indago can apply this new technology in a concerted effort to develop both reserves and production.
While it is pleasing to see that Indago's share price has started to recover from the historical lows of the previous year, your board is cognisant of the significant work that remains to develop a sustained and significant uplift in shareholder value.
