OVERVIEW

West Lake Energy Corp. (“West Lake” or the “Company”) has engaged Sayer Energy Advisors to assist with the sale of its oil and natural gas interests located in the Battle River, Epping, Freemont, Furness, Lashburn, and Tangleflags areas of Saskatchewan (the “Properties”).

West Lake operates all of the Properties, generally holding a 100% working interest including associated facilities. The Properties are generally located near Lloydminster, Saskatchewan and have minimal impending expiries. The Company has ownership in significant seismic data coverage relating to the Properties.

Total production net to West Lake from the Properties in the first half of 2024 averaged approximately 392 boe/d, consisting of 390 barrels of heavy oil per day and 13 Mcf/d of natural gas.

Net operating income from the Properties averaged approximately $150,000 per month for the first half of 2024, or $1.8 million on an annualized basis.

West Lake has mapped significant upside on the Properties which resulted in horizontal and vertical drilling locations booked on the Properties and additional unbooked drilling locations, as well as recompletion opportunities.

As of October 8, 2024, the Properties had a positive deemed net asset value of $9.9 million (deemed assets of $23.1 million less deemed liabilities of $13.2 million), with a pre-adjusted LMR ratio of 1.75.

West Lake’s preference is to sell all of the Properties in one transaction on a white map basis.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Sayer Energy Advisors is accepting cash offers to acquire the Properties until 12:00 pm on Thursday November 21, 2024.  West Lake's preference is to sell all of the Properties in one transaction on a white map basis. 


 
Sayer Energy Advisors does not conduct a "second-round" bidding process; the intention is to attempt to conclude
transaction(s) with the party(ies) submitting the most acceptable proposal(s) at the conclusion of the process.

Sayer Energy Advisors is accepting offers from interested parties until
noon on Thursday November 21, 2024.

NOTE REGARDING A SAYER PROCESS
 
On each and every offering brochure generated by Sayer, you will note the sentence “Sayer Energy Advisors does not conduct a “second-round” bidding process; the intention is to attempt to conclude a sale of the Properties with the party submitting the most acceptable proposal at the conclusion of the process.” What this means is that Sayer will not go back to multiple parties at the same time after bids are received, asking them all for a second bid. We determine which party submitted the most acceptable proposal and then we attempt to negotiate acceptable terms with that party in a “one-off” situation.

If the process involves a cash sale of a property or company and the party which submitted the most acceptable proposal has met our client’s threshold value, that offer will be accepted. If this proposal does not meet our client’s threshold value, then we will advise that party that the offer is not quite what our client was expecting, and we will ask them to increase the offer. If that offer is not acceptable to our client, we will then move down to the party which submitted the next most acceptable proposal and we will then work with that party to attempt to meet our client’s threshold value.

 
In the extremely rare circumstance where two or more parties submit virtually identical proposals, we will contact all  parties, we will advise them of this situation and we will ask them to submit a revised proposal.  Once these are received, we will work with the party which has submitted the most acceptable proposal.

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

Parties wishing to receive access to the confidential information with detailed technical information relating to this opportunity should execute the Confidentiality Agreement and return one copy to Sayer Energy Advisors by courier, mail (tpavic@sayeradvisors.com) or fax (403.266.4467).

Included in the confidential information is the following: most recent net lease operating statements, the McDaniel Report, summary land information, LMR information and other relevant technical information.
