CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwire – July 7, 2010) –
THIS PRESS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.
Heritage Oil Plc (TSX:HOC) (LSE:HOIL), an independent upstream exploration and production company issues an update on Heritage Oil & Gas Limited’s (“HOGL”) disposal of its entire interests in Block 1 and Block 3A (the “Assets”) in Uganda.
Highlights
- The Government of the Republic of Uganda (“Government”) has provided conditional consent for the disposal of the Assets in Uganda
- The transaction is expected to complete within five working days following finalisation with Government of a mechanism, including arbitration, for dealing with any taxes lawfully payable from the disposal of the Assets
- Heritage has received advice that the disposal of the Assets is not taxable in Uganda
- On completion of the transaction Heritage will receive US$1.35 billion in cash from Tullow Uganda Limited, with deferred consideration of up to US$150 million in cash or an interest in a mutually agreed asset
- Following completion of the transaction Heritage will provide an update on the proposed dividend
In accordance with the Petroleum Exploration and Production Act Cap 150, Mr. Hilary Onek, Minister of Energy & Mineral Development, has given consent to Heritage’s disposal of the Assets. This consent is conditional on HOGL demonstrating to Government that it will pay any taxes on demand which may arise from the disposal of the Assets.
In a separate letter Mr. Kabagambe-Kaliisa, Permanent Secretary to the Ministry of Energy & Mineral Development, advised that if HOGL was to resolve the tax matter by arbitration in London, then such arbitration would be on the basis that HOGL deposit approximately US$121.5 million, representing 30% of the disputed amount of US$404,925,000 with the Uganda Revenue Authority and provide a bank guarantee for the balance. As announced on 17 June 2010 Heritage previously proposed to Government the option of arbitration in London.
Heritage’s position, based on comprehensive advice from leading tax experts in Uganda, the United Kingdom and North America, is that the disposal of the Assets is not taxable in Uganda. Heritage is considering Government’s response and will update the market in due course.

Heritage Oil Provides an Operational Update
CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwire – June 17, 2010) –
THIS PRESS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.
Heritage Oil Plc (TSX:HOC)(LSE:HOIL), an independent upstream exploration and production company, announces an operational update to accompany its Annual General Meeting, taking place at 3:00 pm (BST) today at 22 Grenville Street, St. Helier, Jersey.
Highlights
- The Government of the Republic of Uganda (“Government”) has assured Heritage that it is committed to completing the transaction as soon as possible
- Heritage and Government are in discussion over whether the disposal of the Ugandan interests is subject to tax in Uganda. Heritage has proposed that the outstanding tax dispute be submitted to binding arbitration in London and has offered to deposit US$108 million with the Ugandan Revenue Authority (the “URA”) on its receipt of the cash consideration of US$1.35 billion on closing, which would be refunded to Heritage if it is ultimately determined that no tax is payable
- Proposed dividend of 75p-100p per share following the completion of the sale of the Ugandan interests
- Exploration drilling of the Miran West-2 well in Kurdistan is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2010. Testing of the Miran West-2 well will resume on completion of the deeper exploration drilling
- 3D seismic programme to commence shortly in Kurdistan
- Further diversified drilling programmes scheduled to commence in Malta, Pakistan and Russia in the second half of 2010
Uganda
Since it first entered Uganda 13 years ago Heritage has been the pioneering oil company in Uganda, being the first company to explore for oil there in almost 60 years. As such, Heritage has always enjoyed good relations with Government. Heritage, as operator, discovered two of the largest oil fields in Uganda; the Kingfisher Field on the shores of Lake Albert in Block 3A and the Buffalo-Giraffe Field in Block 1. Having invested over US$150 million in the country, Heritage is proud of the part it has played in establishing the Ugandan oil industry which stands on the verge of an exciting new phase in its development.
As announced previously, Tullow Uganda Limited exercised its right of pre-emption on 17 January 2010 to acquire the Company’s entire interests in Blocks 1 and 3A (the “Assets”) for a cash consideration on closing of US$1.35 billion (the “Consideration”) with deferred consideration of up to US$150 million in cash or an interest in a mutually agreed asset.
Heritage announced on 7 April 2010 that it had received a letter from Government stating that it supports Heritage’s disposal of the Assets and will conclude its review of the transaction within eight weeks. As previously announced, the only substantive condition still outstanding and preventing completion of the disposal of the Assets is Government approval of the transaction. Government has now informed Heritage that its review of the transaction has been concluded and the only issue preventing approval from being granted is the absence of an agreement between Heritage and Government with respect to whether the disposal of the Assets is taxable in Uganda.
Heritage representatives have met with appointed officials from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development, Ministry of Finance Planning and Economic Development (collectively the “Ministry”) and the URA on many occasions over recent weeks to resolve this remaining issue but no agreement has been reached. Heritage’s position, based on comprehensive advice from leading tax experts in Uganda, the United Kingdom and North America, is that the disposal of the Assets is not taxable in Uganda. Historically, none of the corporate or asset transactions in the oil sector in Uganda which have involved the sale or transfer of a licence have been taxed. Government’s current position is that the Consideration is subject to a tax of approximately US$360 million.
Heritage prides itself on its track record of compliance and good relations in all of the jurisdictions in which it operates and intends to pay any lawfully imposed tax. In an effort to resolve the situation and to expedite Government’s consent, Heritage has proposed (the “Proposal”) in writing that the outstanding tax dispute be submitted to binding arbitration in London under the rules established by the United Nations Commission for International Trade Law (UNCITRAL), as required under the Production Sharing Agreements between Heritage and Government with respect to the Assets (collectively, the “PSAs”).
Even though Heritage is under no legal obligation to do so, it has also offered to deposit US$108 million with the URA on its receipt of the Consideration, which would be refunded to Heritage if it is ultimately determined that no tax is payable. Although the dispute will be settled in accordance with the procedures set out in the PSAs, this amount of US$108 million has been determined based on subsection 103(2) of the Income Tax Act (Uganda), which requires a taxpayer to deposit 30% of the disputed amount of tax with the URA pending final resolution of the dispute.
The Proposal is in accordance with the laws of Uganda and the terms of the PSAs and goes beyond Heritage’s legal obligations and is given in good faith. Government has assured Heritage that it will respond in a timely fashion and is committed to completing the transaction as soon as possible. Heritage is of the opinion that it has done everything reasonable to obtain Government’s consent to the disposal of the Assets and looks forward to completing the transaction shortly.
Kurdistan Region of Iraq
The Miran West-2 well is being drilled to encounter the deeper exploration objectives in the underlying Jurassic and Triassic structures which have the potential to contain substantial quantities of hydrocarbons. The well has been re-engineered and it is expected that the deepening of the Miran West-2 well to 4,600 metres will complete during the third quarter of 2010. The three zones identified previously in the Cretaceous will be tested when target depth has been reached, as well as any other zones identified in the deeper Jurassic and Triassic structures.
Acquisition of 3D seismic over the Miran Block is expected to commence shortly and will help to establish further appraisal drilling locations with a view to exploiting the reservoirs’ fracture networks. Future plans for the drilling of the Miran East-1 exploration well are progressing and Heritage is currently planning to contract a rig to commence drilling in the fourth quarter 2010.
Other Operations
336 kilometres of 2D seismic has recently been acquired on the Zamzama North Block in Pakistan, where a number of structural leads have already been mapped. Work programmes across the portfolio are progressing with wells planned in Malta, Russia and Pakistan for the second half of 2010.
Tony Buckingham, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“Operationally we are busy with active work programmes across our portfolio. We continue to drill the high impact Miran West-2 exploration well in Kurdistan and are making plans to drill our first wells in Malta and Pakistan later this year. Corporately, we remain focused on completing the proposed disposal in Uganda shortly, leaving us with the financial flexibility to consider many additional opportunities to enhance our growth profile.”

Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill — What Will Be the Impact on the Oil Industry?
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA–(Marketwire – June 16, 2010) – www.rothmanresearch.com — It happened on 20 April 2010 about 50 miles off the coast of Louisiana, the largest offshore spill in U.S. history. Close to two months after this disaster, the U.S. government estimates that between 12,000 barrels to 19,000 barrels are still pouring out the deepwater well on a daily basis. All attempts from BP plc to cap the fissured well have failed so far. However, the damage may be even more far reaching as there are growing concerns within the industry that the spill could trigger new sets of tighter regulations that could ultimately raise the cost of drilling in deep water regions. The extent of the damage on the environment is also pushing the U.S. government to look into other alternatives like natural gas and nuclear energy.

Lawmakers in Washington are still debating the steps to take and waiting for all facts to point to a culprit. Whilst BP remains the prime target for the U.S. government’s fury and mainstream media’s attention, investors have also reacted by slamming the stock down by nearly 45% since April 20. The fall in value of BP’s shares opens the door for a number of speculations, many geared towards a possible takeover. However, according to Reuters one potential contender Total SA (NYSE: TOT) stated that bidding for BP in a time of weakness is ‘unethical.’ Even though a takeover is quite unlikely, the odds that it could come to this lies on the time BP takes to fix the leak. The more time means the more financial liabilities incurred, and there is so much a company can take as liability even if the company is as big as BP.

The ‘go-baby-drill’ campaign that was launched at the end of March by the Obama administration seemed to have lost some of its panache. Instead, the oil spill has reopened the natural gas debate chapter as the best alternate energy solution. One company that is already making great strides in the natural gas sphere is EnCana Corp. (NYSE: ECA), so any positive development in favor of natural gas would be a boon for the company’s growth.
“There are a number of uncertainties to where the political aftermath concerning the BP oil spill will lead. But what a majority of the people throughout the market believes is that it will not go as far as the closure of all deep water drillings. This would be an economic disaster that the United States will never risk. There is a strong feeling that new regulations will be imposed and these could boost operational costs for rig operators,” commented Jack Benassi of www.rothmanresearch.com. “Offshore drilling has become a vital component in the bid for the United States to become more autonomous concerning its energy supply.”

Sillenger: Preliminary Data Indicates Presence of Gold, Diamonds, and Bauxite in Equatorial Guinea
VANCOUVER, BC–(Marketwire – June 9, 2010) – Sillenger Exploration Corp. (“Sillenger”) (PINKSHEETS: SLGX), an innovative and progressive mineral exploration and claims management company, with experience in mining and business process management in Africa, has received the historical geological and geophysics data for the Rio Muni region of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea.
Preliminary assessment of the data shows a number of different areas within Rio Muni that indicate the presence of minerals, most notably gold, iron ore, diamonds, colombo-tantalum and bauxite. Except for some artisanal placer gold extraction, the Country currently has no commercial mining activity. The data was provided by the Ministry of Mines, Industry and Energy in advance of the airborne geophysical survey that is expected to commence in July.
The upcoming survey will help to reveal the locations of potential deposits, and provide a more detailed reading of the subsurface structures.
As previously announced, Sillenger, through its relationship with FCMI Global Inc. and its African affiliates, has entered into a contract with the Government of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea to conduct an airborne geophysical survey of Rio Muni region (27,000 sq. km) of Equatorial Guinea, as well as 30 km of Continental Platform (4,500 sq. km) off the Atlantic coastline. Under the contract, Sillenger (FCMI) will be granted exploration mining concessions, including oil and gas concessions, which are revealed by the survey.
Equatorial Guinea, a major offshore oil producer, has a democratically elected government, and is one of the fastest growing economies in Africa. The Government of Equatorial Guinea has a strong desire to diversify its economy by developing its mining industry, and wishes to obtain a geological and geophysical database that will enable the detection of mineral, hydrocarbon and groundwater resources.

Gulf Oil Spill Provides Wake Up Call for Action on Oceans
OTTAWA, ONTARIO–(Marketwire – June 8, 2010) – The ongoing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico could prove to be a significant catalyst for long over-due action on oceans. Federal government announcements on oceans this week are hopefully the early steps towards the implementation of smart oceans management in Canadian waters that can yield long term ecological and economic benefits.
The federal government this week took steps to improve the health of our oceans, including a move to designate Gwaii Haanas off the north coast of BC as a National Marine Conservation Area Reserve, the designation of three important marine sites as National Wildlife Areas in Nunavut, and the designation of BC’s sponge reef and Newfoundland’s Laurentian Channel as “Areas of Interest” to be reviewed as potential Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).
“Canada has an opportunity to become a leader in how we manage and benefit from our oceans, if we make good decisions now”, said Bettina Saier, Oceans Director, WWF-Canada. “Today’s announcements on protected areas are welcome installments in Canada’s long-standing commitment to complete a network of marine protected areas in Canada’s oceans by 2012.”
WWF-Canada is calling for a new, systematic approach to managing our oceans, where integrated management plans are developed using marine spatial planning across all of Canada’s Large Ocean Management Areas. Marine Spatial Planning improves the way we manage, protect and prosper from our ocean resources by designating ocean zones for compatible uses that are most ecologically appropriate in a given area. Zones can range from full conservation to multiple coexisting cultural, recreational and industrial uses. Together with clear performance and safety standards, smart marine plans help safeguard our oceans while providing long-term benefits to coastal communities and industries.
While today’s announcements by the federal government are good news, Canada is making slow progress on its international commitments. Canada has committed through the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation to protect at least 10 per cent of each of its ecological regions by 2010 and to establish a representative network of MPAs by 2012, respectively. At the current rate of MPA establishment, Canada would meet these commitments in 2064.
“The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a stark reminder that any risk to ocean ecosystems is a risk to our economy,” said Darcy Dobell, Vice President, Pacific Region, WWF-Canada. “Smart planning, careful stewardship, and effective management of our oceans are our best hope to achieve lasting benefits and sustainability for our ocean industries and coastal communities.”
