Viking Energy Group, Inc. (“Viking”) is pleased to announce that it has acquired producing oil and gas assets in Texas and Louisiana, and increased its overall proven oil and gas reserves by approximately 10,500,000 BOE in connection with the acquisition.
Features of the acquisition include:
The assets will be operated, effective January 1, 2019, by Viking’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Petrodome Operating, LLC. Viking intends to further assess and exploit the PDNP and PUD prospects associated with the assets, and to perform a more in-depth geological and geophysical analysis of the entire asset portfolio to identify other development and enhancement initiatives.
With respect to the transaction, James Doris, Viking’s President & CEO, commented, “The acquisition is large, from both a monetary and production standpoint, relative to the size of our company immediately prior to closing, but it is merely a small step within a more comprehensive long-term acquisition and growth strategy.” Doris continued, “We are committed to operating these assets, along with our other assets, as efficiently as possible, and to identifying and evaluating additional growth opportunities across all company divisions.”
Additional details of the transaction were disclosed in Viking’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 31, 2018 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available under "Investors -- SEC Filings" at www.vikingenergygroup.com.
Viking is an independent exploration and production company focused on the acquisition and development of oil and natural gas properties in North America. The company owns oil and gas leases in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Kansas. Viking targets under-valued assets with realistic appreciation potential.
