Calgary, Alberta – TheNewswire - October 1, 2021 – Sonoro Energy Ltd (the “Corporation “ or “Sonoro”) (TSXV:SNV) provides the following corporate update to shareholders.

Over the past two quarters of 2021, activity on and at the Selat Panjang Production Sharing Contract (“PSC”) has been hampered by Covid lockdowns in Indonesia and lack of activity by Sonoro’s joint venture partner and Operator, PT Sumatra Global Energi, (“SGE”). SGE has failed to respond to repeated requests for engagement on a range of commercial and operational issues. During this time, Sonoro has had discussions with the government regulator, SKKMIGAS, concerning SGE inactivity on the PSC and lack of engagement. SKKMIGAS is aware of the situation and has formally advised SGE of their obligations to fulfill the PSC terms and to provide an immediate report of their activities on the project. SKKMIGAS is aware of and acknowledges Sonoro’s frustration with the lack of engagement from SGE and Sonoro’s commitment to fulfilling the terms of the PSC.

As previously reported, in late 2020, Sonoro commenced the evaluation of the reserves and resources of the BSR area of the Selat Panjang PSC. Until Sonoro has resolved the commercial and operational issues with SGE and SKKMIGAS, further completion of this work and its results are on hold.

Sonoro also reports that it is exploring potential participation in various other oil and gas projects in Indonesia and SE Asia. Under the direction of Sonoro’s new President David Kirk, the Company continues with the process of assessing opportunities that fit Sonoro’s strategy and plans.

Sonoro will update valued shareholders and the marketplace as soon as noteworthy news becomes available.
