专注于新兴盆地高影响力钻井成果的伦敦证券交易所创业板上市油气投资公司Westmount Energy Limited（英国AIM：WTE.L）欣然宣布，其投资对象JHI Associates Inc.（简称“JHI”）已与Navitas Petroleum LP（简称“Navitas”）签署了一份不具约束力的谅解备忘录（简称“MOU”）¹，根据该备忘录，Navitas将获得PL001北福克兰盆地许可证（简称“PL001”）65%的工作权益（简称“WI”）及作业权。JHI目前通过其全资子公司JHI Falkland Inc.（简称“JHIF”）持有PL001 100%的工作权益。PL001位于PL032西侧，PL032包含Navitas运营的Sea Lion项目。Sea Lion项目近期已就这一大型开发项目的第一阶段获得最终投资决定，该项目拥有超过7亿桶可采资源。

PL001区块面积约1126平方公里，位于水深适中（<500米）的区域，已完成三维地震勘探，并具有巨大的勘探潜力。JHI内部最佳估算表明，该区块的潜在可采资源总量达31亿桶，总增储量超过100亿桶²。目前，在与Sea Lion油藏相同的地层层段内，已有两个油田勘探项目——Tyche和Dinlas——被认定为高品位油田，每个项目的潜在可采资源量均为4亿桶²。JHI

是一家成立于2014年的安大略省注册私人公司，专注于新兴的圭亚那-苏里南盆地和北福克兰盆地的石油勘探机会。Westmount持有JHI共计5,685,257股股份，约占已发行股本的6.24%。

Westmount Energy Ltd.董事长Gerard Walsh评论道：

“我们很高兴看到这笔重要的后续交易达成，这得益于近期市场对我们在福克兰群岛和圭亚那近海资产兴趣的重新燃起。将北福克兰盆地PL001许可证与巨型海狮油田开发项目的现有运营商相结合，在成功的情况下，将带来巨大的潜在机遇，包括对地下资源的深入了解、钻井平台共享以及生产设施的协同效应。”

Westmount Energy Limited (UK AIM: WTE.L), the AIM-quoted oil and gas investing company focussed on high impact drilling outcomes in emerging basins, is pleased to report that its investee JHI Associates Inc. ("JHI") has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU")1 with Navitas Petroleum LP ("Navitas") for a farm-in under which Navitas will acquire a 65% Working Interest ("W.I.") and operatorship of the PL001 North Falklands Basin Licence ("PL001"). JHI currently holds 100% W.I. in PL001 via a wholly owned subsidiary, JHI Falkland Inc. ("JHIF"). PL001 is located immediately to the west of PL032 containing the Navitas operated Sea Lion Project which recently achieved Final Investment Decision with respect to Phase 1 of this giant development complex with over 700 MMbbls of recoverable resources.

PL001, which covers approximately 1,126 square kilometres, is located in modest water depths (<500m), is fully covered by 3D seismic and contains significant exploration potential. JHI's internal Best Estimates indicate a prospect inventory containing an aggregate 3.1bn bbls of prospective recoverable resources with an aggregate upside of more than 10 bn bbls2. So far, two oil prospects, Tyche and Dinlas, have been high-graded within the same stratigraphic interval as the Sea Lion accumulation - each containing a potential 400 MMbbls recoverable2.

JHI is a private, Ontario-registered, company established in 2014 and focused on oil exploration opportunities in the emerging Guyana-Suriname and North Falklands basins. Westmount holds a total of 5,685,257 shares in JHI, representing approximately 6.24% of the issued share capital.

Gerard Walsh Chairman of Westmount Energy Ltd. commented:

"We are delighted to see this significant follow-on transaction on the back of the recent reawakening of interest in our offshore Falkland Islands and Guyanese assets. A tie-up of the North Falklands Basin PL001 Licence with the incumbent operator of the giant Sea Lion Development presents significant potential opportunity in terms of synergies re sub-surface understanding, rig sharing and production facilities in the success case."
