Attention:
QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - June 15, 2017) - Petrolia Inc. (TSX VENTURE:PEA) and its subsidiaries - Petrolia Anticosti (operator for Anticosti Hydrocarbons L.P. (HASEC)) and Investissements PEA Inc. (a partner of HASEC) - have reached an agreement with their partners - Ressources Quebec Inc., Saint-Aubin E & P (Quebec) Inc., and Corridor Resources Inc. - relating to safeguard measures for maintaining the status quo with respect to the Anticosti project. This order recognizes the obligation to cover certain financial expenses of the operator and, in particular, orders Ressources Quebec to advance sufficient funds on a monthly basis to cover the essential needs of HASEC.
The partners of HASEC have also agreed to postpone the work planned for Anticosti Island this summer pending the result of the ongoing negotiations with the Government of Quebec and the resolution of certain other issues. In the meantime, Petrolia is committed to only performing essential work until the resumption of work. At this time, Petrolia remains open to a settlement, but no agreement with the government has been reached.
In the event that these negotiations fail, Petrolia Anticosti will pursue the resumption of the work planned for Anticosti.
"If work resumes, this agreement will have allowed us to preserve the expertise acquired over the years. Should an agreement ever be reached within the context of the ongoing negotiations, Petrolia Anticosti will need to use this expertise to carry out the operations that will put an end to the Anticosti project." announced Martin Belanger, Interim President and CEO of Petrolia.
