Luseland working interest

 

Effective on June 29, 2018, the Company acquired a 25% working interest in approximately 41,526 acres located in the Luseland, Hearts Hill, and Cuthbert fields, located in Southwest Saskatchewan and Eastern Alberta, Canada (collectively, the “Canadian Properties” and the “Working Interest”). The Canadian Properties currently encompass 64 sections, with 240 oil and 12 natural gas wells currently producing on the properties. Additionally, there are several idle wells with potential for reactivation and 34 sections of undeveloped land (approximately 21,760 acres).

 

The Canadian Properties and the Working Interest were acquired from Blue Sky Resources Ltd. (“Blue Sky”), whose President is Ilyas Chaudhary, the father of Zel C. Khan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Chaudhary owns and controls BSIH Ltd. (“BSIH”). BSIH was the largest shareholder of the Company prior to the cancellation of the shares pursuant to the terms of a Share Exchange Agreement between the Company and Blue Sky Resources Ltd dated August 31, 2018. Blue Sky had previously acquired an 80% working interest in the Canadian Properties from Georox Resources Inc., who had acquired the Canadian Properties from Cona Resources Ltd. and Cona Resources Partnership prior to the acquisition by the Company.

 

The effective date of the acquisition was June 1, 2018. The acquisition of the Canadian Properties was evidenced and documented by a Memorandum of Understanding between the Company and Blue Sky dated June 29, 2018 and a Conveyance between the parties dated as of the same date, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire the Working Interest in consideration for $1,428,581 in Canadian dollars (“CAD”) (approximately $1,089,150 in U.S. dollars) of which CAD $1,022,400 (approximately $779,478 in U.S. dollars) was paid in cash (the “Cash Payment”) and CAD $406,181 (approximately $314,412 in U.S. dollars) was evidenced by a promissory note (the “Acquisition Note”).

 

The Cash Payment was made with funds borrowed by the Company pursuant to the terms of that certain $1,530,000 May 9, 2018, Amended and Restated Loan Agreement entered into with Bow and a third party (the “Loan Agreement” and the “Lender”). The amount owed under the Loan Agreement accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum (19% upon the occurrence of an event of default) and is due and payable on May 11, 2021. The Working Interest will be held in the name of the Company’s newly formed wholly-owned Alberta, Canada, subsidiary, Petrolia Canada Corporation. The Acquisition Note, which was dated June 8, 2018, bears interest at the rate of 9% per annum, beginning on August 1, 2018 and is due and payable on November 30, 2018, provided that we have the right to extend the maturity date for a period six months with 10 days’ notice to Blue Sky, in the event we pay 25% of the principal amount of the Acquisition Note at the time of extension. The acquisition has not formally closed as the assets can only be transferred after the payment/settlement of the Acquisition Note.

 

Slick Unit Exploration and Development Agreement

 

On July 24, 2018, the Company announced the signing of the Slick Unit Exploration and Development Agreement (the "Agreement") with Boone Operating Inc. ("Boone"), a private Exploration & Production company, to explore and develop the Misener and Simpson Formations at the Slick Unit Dutcher Sands Field (“SUDS Field”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the development area consists of 480 Acres where Boone will carry the cost of drilling the first well and will earn a 75% Working Interest (“WI”) position in that well. If the first well is successful, Boone will have the right to further develop the zone and Petrolia will maintain the right to participate in further drills, up to a 25% WI in each new well. The current producing Dutcher Sands formation is excluded from this Agreement, which Petrolia will continue developing.

 

The SUDS Field is a 2600-acre lease located in Creek County, 36 miles SW of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The field was first discovered in 1918 by SOHIO Oil Company utilizing over 100 wells with the primary objective to produce from the Dutcher Sands at an average well depth of 3100 ft.

 

Director Convertible Notes

 

On August 17, 2018, the Company sold an aggregate of $90,000 in Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Director Convertible Notes”), to the Company’s directors, Ivar Siem ($20,000) through an entity that he is affiliated with; Leo Womack ($60,000); and Joel Oppenheim ($10,000). The Director Convertible Notes accrue interest at the rate of 12% per annum until paid in full and are due and payable on October 17, 2018. The amount owed may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The outstanding principal and interest owed under the Director Convertible Notes are convertible into common stock of the Company, from time to time, at the option of the holders of the notes, at a conversion price of $0.10 per share. As additional consideration for entering into the notes, the Company agreed to grant one-year warrants to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share for each dollar loaned pursuant to the Director Convertible Notes (the “Bridge Note Warrants”). As such, the Company granted (a) 20,000 Bridge Note Warrants to an entity affiliated with Ivar Siem; (b) 60,000 Bridge Note Warrants to Leo Womack; and (c) 10,000 Bridge Note Warrants to Joel Oppenheim.
