About Canoel
Canoel focuses on near term producing properties that can be further optimized with its engineering and technical experience. To maximize shareholder value, Canoel targets acquisitions of shut in production opportunities that offer strong logistics and close proximity to refineries and pipelines. Canoel's management and directors have extensive international and governmental experience and possess the technical knowledge to execute this strategy.
The company is an accomplished Operator within Italy and currently manages eight onshore fields while, at the same time, overseeing the operations of three other non-operated fields. Canoel's licenses cover 847 square kilometers with net holdings of 369 square kilometers (approximately 91,143 acres). In addition to the strategy of consolidating and optimizing conventional natural gas fields, the Company has also initiated a strategy of directly generating electricity to be sold into the Italian grid using cogeneration facilities in fields where the natural gas is not optimal for direct sale via injection into the national grid.
In Argentina, Canoel's Petrolera Patagonia outright owns the title and mineral rights of two concessions, Don Alberto and Don Ernesto. The subsidiary is the Operator for both of these producing oil fields. Management has identified additional drilling opportunities in several deeper zones. This development-type drilling is anticipated to provide substantial growth opportunities.
