Maha Energy AB (publ) ("Maha" or the "Company") Announces Sale of Canadian Assets

Sale of Canadian Assets

Maha has agreed a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Petrocapita Oil and Gas L.P. ("Petrocapita") pursuant to which Maha will sell to Petrocapita its entire interest in the Manitou and Marwayne properties (the "Canadian Assets") for a total of CAD$1.65 million.  The consideration is payable in two parts: (a) cash payment of a total of CAD $750,000 to be paid over 9 months commencing March 15, 2017 and (b) the balance by convertible Debenture granted by Petrocapita Income Trust, the parent of Petrocapita (the "Trust") maturing December 1, 2023 (the "Debenture").  Under the Debenture arrangement, the Trust pays annual interest on the outstanding balance at 6%; and Maha may convert the outstanding balance at any time after December 31, 2017 to publically traded Trust Units based on the 20 day volume weighted average trading price of the Unit at the time of conversion. The outstanding balance will be secured by a registered charge on the Canadian Assets. The Trust is publically listed on TSX Venture Exchange and trades under the symbol "PCE-U:CN". The Canadian Assets, net of abandonment liabilities, have a book value of zero.

The Canadian Assets were originally purchased as part of a much larger proposed acquisition in 2014 that was not closed due to the substantial decline in oil prices during the third quarter of 2014. In February 2015 the then Operator ("Palliser") went into Receivership and as result no capital has been spent since. Petrocapita purchased Palliser from the Receiver Manager in May, 2016.   Since the Canadian Assets are non-operated and small in comparison to Maha's other assets, it is in the best interest of the Company to divest these assets in order to focus on Brazil and Wyoming.

Jonas Lindvall, Maha's CEO commented:

"We have taken the decision to divest out of our non-operated Canadian operations in order to concentrate on our higher impact properties in South America.  The low oil prices have impacted the Canadian assets hard and we can deploy the proceeds from the sale in areas where it can have a much higher impact.   Under the current market conditions, the sale to Petrocapita is at a favorable price and on reasonable terms.  We wish them every success with these assets."

Maha Energy AB (publ) ("Maha" or the "Company") Provides Operational Update for Brazil.

OPERATIONAL UPDATE – BRAZIL

The operations concerning the workover (the "Workover") of the SES107D well (the "Well") on the Company's Tartaruga Field near Aracaju, Brazil will commence Tuesday, January 17, 2017.   Schlumberger Servicos de Petroleo Ltda ("Schlumberger") slick line equipment arrived on location on Sunday January 15, 2017 and Schlumberger will commence preparatory work to allow rig provider, Braserv Petroleo Ltda, to mobilize its 500 hp Drilling Rig 147 (the "Rig") later in the week and access the Well.

The objective of the Workover is to recomplete the Well, install a hydraulic jet pump and to return the Well to continuous production.  It is anticipated that the Rig will take 3 days to mobilize and rig up. The current estimate is workover operations will begin on Sunday January 22, 2017.

History

The SES107D Well was originally drilled in 1994 and was the discovery well for the Tartaruga Field.  Oil was tested in the Penedo 6 sand and was immediately placed on production.  The Well free flowed oil for 14 months, after which a shallower oil bearing zone -the Penedo-1- was perforated and completed.  The Penedo-1 has been free flowing oil since 1996.  No pump has ever been run in the SES-107D Well.

The use of a pump should provide lift for the oil like the currently producing 7TTG well at the Tartaruga Field, which has been on continuous pump production since December 2015.

The Workover

The SES107D Well was recompleted as a free flowing well in 1996 in the Penedo-1 reservoir  Attempts were made in 2013 to cut and recover the production string deep in the well as part of a recompletion of the Well to install a downhole pump.  Unfortunately, the cut was unsuccessful, and the pipe cutter became stuck at 3014 m.; this and 2300 m. of wireline was left in the in the production tubing which together with some partially cut 2-7/8" production tubing need to be recovered before the jet pump can be installed.

A very detailed program has been developed to fish the stuck pipe cutter, the associated wireline and the partially cut 2-7/8" production tubing out of the hole.  Once recovered, a new hydraulic jet pump will be run in the hole.  The Operator has been preparing the well and surface facilities since December  for the installation of the jet pump (which was designed and purchased in the United States). As with any fishing operation, many contingencies have been planned for that can impact operations and the schedule

The Pump

Jet pumps generate high-velocity fluid jets to lower downhole pressures and increase production rates. The basic operating principles of the subsurface jet pump mimic those of the jet engine. Both the pump and engine contain a nozzle that converts pressurized, slow moving fluid into lower pressure, fast- moving fluid by adiabatic expansion. In the case of a jet engine, the fast- moving fluid-a burning mixture of air and jet fuel-generates the thrust that propels a plane forward. The thrust generated by the movement of a high- velocity jet pump fluid, on the other hand, lifts hydrocarbons to the surface.1

The selected hydraulic jet pump is ideally suited to handle Tartaruga's 40 deg API crude's associated gas rate and the paraffinic characteristics.  The 'non-moving' parts of this pump and its surface access encourages more efficient production operations and less 'wear and tear' on downhole production equipment than other artificial lift choices.

Upon completion of the Workover, the Company will provide updates on results of the Workover.

C1 Share Redemption

The Board of Directors of Maha has resolved to redeem the 1,844,527 C1 shares in accordance with the redemption clause in the articles of association.

As outlined in Maha's Prospectus, all C1 shares were issued to Amha Swedish Exchange Co AB in order to facilitate delivery of Maha AB shares in the event any outstanding Maha (Canada) warrants issued by the subsidiary Maha Energy Inc. during 2014 were exercised.  The exercise period for the warrants expired in November and December 2016.

Upon registration of the redemption, the share capital will be reduced from SEK 804,710 to SEK 784,420 and the total number of shares will be reduced from 73,155,521 to 71,310,994.

Maha Energy AB ("Maha or the "Company") announces closings of acquisition of UP Petróleo Brasil Ltda (the Operator of the Tartaruga Field) and Petro Vista Energy Petróleo do Brasil Ltda.

Maha is pleased to announce the closing in escrow of its acquisition of 100% of UP Petróleo Brasil Ltda. ("UPP" or the "Operator") from TDC Engineering Inc. (the "UPP Acquisition") and 100% of Petro Vista Energy Petróleo do Brasil Ltda. (the "PVE Acquisition"; collectively the "Acquisitions") occurred today, December 9, 2016.  Upon routine registration with the Province of Sergipe Commercial Board, which is expected within 10 working days, all escrow conditions will be released and closing completed at which time Maha (through its subsidiary), will become operator of the Tartaruga Field.

Upon closing of the UPP and PVE Acquisitions, Maha will have a 67.5% working interest in the Tartaruga field which is currently producing approximately (gross) 230 bbls/d.   The remaining 7.5% working interest in the Tartaruga Field owned by TDC Engineering Inc. (through its subsidiary) will be closed pursuant to relevant contractual and accounting arrangements shortly after January 1st, 2017.  The Company will issue a further update press release upon this event.

As earlier announced, in anticipation of these closings, the Company has been planning for a workover of the SES 107 well on the Tartaruga field. Upon release from escrow, the Company will commence securing equipment and services for the workover.  The workover of SES 107 entails the removal of an existing production string and the recompletion of the well with a jet pump similar to the pump currently pumping oil on the adjacent 7-TTG well.

Jonas Lindvall, CEO of Maha Energy commented:

"We are very pleased to have finalized closing of our acquisition of the operated working interest in the Tartaruga Field in Brazil.  With this major milestone, we look forward to continued organic growth at both our LAK (Wyoming) and Tartaruga (Brazil) projects as well as though future accretive acquisitions taking advantage of the current low oil commodity cycle.  We will now proceed with the previously announced planned workover of the previously producing SES 107 well, which is scheduled to start in January, subject to services availability."

This press release is not for release, publication or distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland or the United States, or in any other jurisdiction where distribution of this press release could be illegal or subject to legal restrictions.

Maha Energy AB undertakes a private placement of 484,212 new shares

The board of directors of Maha Energy AB (the "Company" or "Maha") has resolved to issue 484,212 new shares of class A (the "New Shares") at the fixed subscription price of SEK 10.25 per new share of class A (i.e. in total SEK 4,963,172).

The board of directors adopted the issue resolution with support from an authorization granted at an extraordinary general meeting. The subscription price has been determined based on the market price for the Company's shares during a certain period of time prior to the issue resolution and the board of directors deems the subscription price to be on market terms.

All new shares have been subscribed for by Rothesay Ltd. who was part of the Guarantee Consortium in the Initial Public Offering ("IPO") of the Company carried out earlier this year.  According to this Guarantor, due to an administrative error, 484,212 shares subscribed for in the IPO were sold in the market contrary to certain transfer restrictions ("Lock-up Restrictions") which all Guarantors undertook to be bound by.

In resolution to the Lock Up Restriction irregularities identified above, this Guarantor has agreed to subscribe for a corresponding number of shares at today's market value which is both, considerably higher than the subscription price in the initial public offering and (based on the trading analysis by the Company) considerably higher than the price at which these shares were sold in the market earlier in the year. The New Shares issued will be bound by the same Lock Up Restrictions until 29 January 2017.

The registered share capital of the Company as of today is SEK 799,384 and the total number of shares is 72,671,309 (55,937,987 A-shares, 12,140,795 B-shares and 4,592,527 C-shares (1,844,527 C1 and 2,748,000 C2)). In addition, there are 6,204,963 outstanding warrants (the price for subscription of new A-shares through exercise of warrants is SEK 6.40 and subscription may take place up to and including 15 January 2018). The dilutive effects on the share capital as a result of the private placement will only be minor.

Maha Energy AB inbjuder till informations träff samt operativ företags uppdatering

Maha Energy AB (publ) ("Bolaget" eller "Maha") kommer att hålla en informationsträff den 13 oktober i Stockholm där man kommer att ge en operativ uppdatering om Bolagets aktiviteter. Informationsträffen kommer även att sändas "live" via webben.

Årlig Informations träff för aktieägare

Bolaget vill bjuda in aktieägare samt intresserade individer till en presentation av Bolagets aktiviteter som följs av en informell reception av Bolagets styrelse och ledning.  Träffen kommer att hållas i "T-Huset", på Engelbrektsplan 1, 114 34 Stockholm.   Jonas Lindvall, Bolagets VD kommer att hålla en webb-sänd presentation om Bolagets aktuella aktiviteter som kommer att följas av ett par ord från Maha's Ordförande, Herr Wayne Thomson.  Styrelsemedlemmar och delar av Bolagets ledning kommer att vara på plats för att svara på eventuella frågor efter presentationen.  Deltagare ombeds att registrera sin närvaro via Bolagets hemsida, www.mahaenergy.ca.

Operativ Uppdatering

Kanada (Marwayne och Manitou tillgångarna)

En ny Operatör tillsattes de Kanadensiska tillgångarna i juli i år efter en längre konkurs process.  Den nya Operatören, Petrocapita Energy, är i full färd med att avsluta sitt tekniska arbete över tillgångarna som förvärvats från konkurs förvaltaren av Palliser Oil and Gas (Palliser).  Ett initialt möte hölls med Petrocapita den 13 september för att diskutera eventuella utvecklings planer över de delade tillgångarna. Maha äger 50% intresse i Manitou och 30% intresse i Marwayne tillgångarna efter ett förvärv som gjordes i juli 2014 från Palliser Oil and Gas.  Palliser sattes i konkurs förvaltning i februari 2015.

Wyoming (LAK Ranch)

I slutet av 2015 avslutades en rad studier som förknippade resultat från fält-studier, kärn-prover samt data simulering som indikerar reservoaren i LAK Ranch svarar positivt på en varm-vatten injicerings process (sk "Hot Water Flood"). Injicering av hett vatten i reservoaren resulterar i ett positivt tryck underhåll samt att oljans viskositet sänks av värmen.  För att dra fördel av olje-prisets ut-bottning tidigare i år, så initierade Bolaget ett produktions uppehåll i början av april för att modifiera produktions anläggning till att kunna påbörja varm vatten injicerings processen.  Under uppehållet så åtog sig Bolaget ett kapital program som nu skapat kapacitet i anläggningen att behandla och återvinna producerat vatten som är av ytterst vikt för att kunna bibehålla trycket i reservoaren under den framtida utvecklingen av fältet.  Utfört arbete bestod av:

  • Inköp samt installation av två stycken 750 fat vinter isolerade gas uppvärmda vatten bevarings tankar som laddar, under högt tryck, varm vatten injicerings pumpen.
  • Installation och isolering av en 3 tums vatten ledning från tank batteriet till laddnings tankarna.
  • Uppgradering av vatten behandlings anläggningen för att kunna återanvända producerat vatten.
  • Fabrikation och installation av kemikalie-injicerings anläggning som behandlar injicerings vatten för borttagning av syre samt alkalisk tillsättning.
  • Projektet, som i stort sett står klart, kommer att behandla Bolagets hela vatten produktion för återanvändning som i sin tur reducerar de operativa kostnaderna för att värma och bibehålla trycket i reservoaren.  Vatten injiceringen kommer att påbörjas i liten skala i början av oktober, 2016.  I förväntan på varm vatten injiceringen så har Bolaget redan återupptagit produktionen genom att starta 4 produktions brunnar, och fler brunnar kommer att startas allt efter som vatten injiceringen ökar.  Samtidigt som reservoaren laddas med varmt vatten så fortsätter Bolaget med att färdigställa planerna för utvecklingen av Fas 3 som innebär ytterligare borrningar av produktions hål samt injicerings hål.

    Maha's tekniska team fortsätter att optimera LAK Ranch fullständiga utvecklings plan.  Resultaten av varm vatten injiceringen  kommer att inkluderas i den fullständiga utvecklings planen.

    Brasilien (Tartaruga fältet)

    Ansökan om ändring av moderbolag för Operatören av Tartaruga fältet lämnades in till Agencia Nacional de Petroleo (ANP) den 7 juli, 2016.  När ansökan godkänts av de Brasilianska myndigheterna så kommer affären angående 75% arbets-intresse samt Operatörskapet i Tartaruga fältet slutföras.  Ledningen övervakar processen angående godkännandet mycket nära genom Bolagets representant i Brasilien, som meddelar att processen framskrider enligt förväntan.

    Operativa möten hölls i Aracaju, Brasilien, mellan den 1a och 9e september för att påbörja detaljerade planer omkring ökning av produktionen så snart affären slutförts.  Planerna inkluderar en snabb workover där produktions-röret på en låg-producerande olje-brunn byts ut mot en pump.  Allt material för denna workover finns redan på Tartaruga fältet, så det förväntas inga förseningar på grund av material med lång ledtid.  Maha kommer också att börja planerings-arbete för ett horisontalt sidetrack där ett produktions hål återinträds och borras om till ett horisontalt produktions hål.  Alla hittills borrade hål på Tartaruga har borrats i låg vinkel och ett horisontalt hål förväntas att öka produktionen väsentligt.

    Maha's team har också haft positiva möten med Petrobras i Aracaju samt ANP i Rio de Janeiro där framtida arbetsprogram och samarbete diskuterades.
