Summary
First Helium signed a definitive agreement to acquire shallow heavy oil assets in its core Worsley area, north of Grande Prairie, Alberta. The deal includes a shut-in pool with historic capacity of 450-500 bbl/d, and the company targets reactivating 300 bbl/d from six wells, rising to 400 bbl/d with additional work. Eleven horizontal drilling locations and 3,360 acres of 100% working interest land (5,760 net acres) support growth. Total ARO security requirements, including purchase consideration, are about $7.8 million. Closing is subject to TSXV approval, financing, and AER license transfers. This is a material step in the company's repositioning toward shallow heavy oil, complementing its Charlie Lake discovery and aiming for 2,000 bbl/d within two years.
