Calgary, Alberta – TheNewswire – June 20, 2022 - Sonoro Energy Ltd (the “Corporation “ or “Sonoro”) (TSXV:SNV) is  pleased to provide shareholders an update on the Selat Panjang project in Sumatra, Indonesia where it holds a 25% ownership position in the Selat Panjang Production Sharing Contract (“PSC”).

After over two years of dis-engagement with its project partner, PT Sumatra Global Energi (“SGE”), Sonoro was invited and attended a partner working session in Jakarta, Indonesia on June 17th. At the meetings, Sonoro and SGE signed a binding Memorandum of Understanding whereby Sonoro will commission and produce a detailed reserves report, compliant with 51-101 requirements and SGE will transfer a to be determined additional ownership position in the Selat Panjang PSC for a commiserate equity position in Sonoro.

In addition, SGE, as project operator, have advised that they have initiated the work towards a series of workover and well interventions on three wells on the previously suspended Bakau field at Selat Panjang. The operations are scheduled to take place in the fourth quarter of 2022. These independent operations are not part of the committed Work Program established in 2019 under the PSC.

Mr David Kirk, President and CEO states that “this is a significant development for Sonoro for developing the project towards hydrocarbon production at the Selat Panjang PSC. We are re-engaging with our partner after a period of little contact during the covid restriction period and collaborating to resolve any previous issues that have stalled the progress of the PSC. Sonoro will commence immediate work to complete a detailed reserve report as per our Memorandum of Understanding and we are looking forward to our partners participation in Sonoro, which if executed, will increase the Company’s ownership of Selat Panjang from our current 25% ownership position”.

The Company will provide further details of developments at Selat Panjang as they emerge.
