OVERVIEW

CLEO Energy Corp. (“CLEO” or the “Company”) has filed a Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal (the “NOI”) pursuant to section 50.4 (1) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (the “BIA”) and Alvarez & Marsal Canada Inc. (“A&M”) is acting as Proposal Trustee of CLEO for the NOI process. A sale and solicitation process (the “SSP”) is to be undertaken by the Company in its NOI proceedings. CLEO has engaged Sayer Energy Advisors to assist the Company with the SSP in order to solicit interest in the purchase of or investment in all or part of the business or operations of the Company or its undertaking, property and assets. Potential outcomes include, but are not limited to, a sale of the shares of the Company, the sale, in whole or in part, of all of the oil and natural gas assets held by CLEO, or a joint venture. A copy of the SSP is found here.
 
CLEO’s oil and natural gas interests are located in the Alliance, Atlee, Enchant/Taber, Fabyan, Hayter, Kessler, Neutral Hills, Sedgewick, Shorncliffe and Silver Heights areas of Alberta (the “Properties”).
 
Average daily sales production net to CLEO from the Properties for the first half of 2024 was approximately 990 boe/d, consisting of approximately 527 bbl/d of oil and natural gas liquids and approximately 2.8 MMcf/d of natural gas.

 
Current production from the Properties is approximately 460 boe/d, consisting of 395 bbl/d of oil and natural gas liquids and 390 Mcf/d of natural gas. The Company is currently reactivating several wells which it believes will add approximately 330 bbl/d of oil. Details of the reactivations will be made available in the virtual data room to parties that execute a confidentiality agreement.
 
CLEO’s main natural gas property at Fabyan was shut-in in October 2024 due to low natural gas prices. This field can be brought back on production, restoring approximately 2.0 MMcf/d.
 
CLEO controls the pipeline infrastructure in the area necessary for both oil development and associated natural gas egress, which is of great benefit for the future development of the Upper Mannville. The Properties have significant offsetting potential including the Viking and Upper Mannville Sparky oil reservoirs, which would require use of the Company’s pipeline infrastructure.
 
As of November 2, 2024, the Properties had a deemed net asset value of ($14.1 million) (deemed assets of $36.1 million and deemed liabilities of $50.2 million), with an LMR ratio of 0.72. These numbers do not include CLEO’s current security deposit with the Alberta Energy Regulator (“AER”) of approximately $720,000.

Production Overview

Average daily sales production net to CLEO from the Properties for the first half of 2024 was approximately 990 boe/d, consisting of approximately 527 bbl/d of oil and natural gas liquids and approximately 2.8 MMcf/d of natural gas.
 
Current production from the Properties is approximately 460 boe/d, consisting of 395 bbl/d of oil and natural gas liquids and 390 Mcf/d of natural gas. The Company is currently reactivating several wells which it believes will add approximately 330 bbl/d of oil. Details of the reactivations will be made available in the virtual data room to parties that execute a confidentiality agreement.
 
CLEO believes that with limited capital the current reactivation production capability is approximately 750 bbl/d of oil.

LMR Summary

As of November 2, 2024, the Properties had a deemed net asset value of ($14.1 million) (deemed assets of $36.1 million and deemed liabilities of $50.2 million), with an LMR ratio of 0.72. These numbers do not include CLEO’s current security deposit with the AER of approximately $720,000.

 

 
Note that the Fabyan, Taber, and part of the Silver Heights properties are currently shut-in. Reactivating these properties would drastically increase the deemed asset amount and restore lost production.

At Silver Heights, CLEO holds largely a 98% working interest in approximately eight sections of land. Production at Silver Heights is primarily oil from the Ellerslie and Glauconitic Sandstone formations.
 
Average daily production net to CLEO from Silver Heights for the first half of 2024 was approximately 248 boe/d, consisting of 223 bbl/d oil and 149 Mcf/d of natural gas. Current production net to CLEO from Silver Heights is approximately 125 bbl/d of oil.
 
Peak production from Silver Heights was 345 boe/d in January 2023. Due to limited sustaining capital, production has declined. Basic workovers are required to increase production.
 
Operating income net to CLEO from Silver Heights for the first half of 2024 was approximately $197,600 per month.
 
Production at Silver Heights, has been greatly impacted. In the fourth quarter of 2024, 75 bbl/d of oil production was curtailed due to a natural gas conservation requirement. The property was fully shut-in from December 8, 2024 to January 14, 2025 due to an electrical cable theft. The process of restoring the production has begun and the field is currently producing approximately 118 bbl/d of oil. It is expected that the production will be restored back to is original rate prior to the end of the first quarter of 2025.
 
The Company has a vertical Ellerslie proved undeveloped drilling location booked in the Deloitte Report at 12-039-10W4 and an additional five internally identified unbooked vertical locations. These locations are low cost, (estimated at $600,000 per well). Offsetting analogs have been assigned total proved plus probable reserves of 50,000 barrels of oil per well.
 
Glauconitic recompletion candidates provide additional upside at Silver Heights. The Company has identified a large number of reactivation opportunities including the opportunity to reconfigure pressure support for the reservoir and increase production through expanded water handling.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Sayer Energy Advisors is accepting offers, as outlined in the SSP, relating to this process until 12:00 pm on Thursday February 27, 2025. 


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

Sayer Energy Advisors is accepting offers, as outlined in the SSP, from
interested parties until 
noon on Thursday February 27, 2025.

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 Company 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.
