American Marconi Wireless News - South Plains Petroleum, Inc. Offers 10% Convertible Bonds to Fund Texas and Louisiana Well Development

The convertible bond offering consists of up to 400 bonds with a face amount of $5,000 each that pay a 10% annual dividend and convert into 2,500 shares of the Company's common stock. The bonds are available to accredited investors.

South Plains has agreed to a previously announced combination with Metawells Oil and Gas Inc.(KOSK)

The combination agreement calls for an exchange of Metawell's preferred shares at 1.5 to 1 for South Plains' common shares, simultaneously with an uplift of the combined Companies to the NASDAQ accompanied by a name change to South Plains Petroleum and a trading symbol change. Minimum initial share price for NASDAQ qualification is $4.00.

South Plain's by-laws contain an annual dividend provision based on the price of oil over $60 and gas over $3 at which time the Company escrows 5% of the price it receives for dividends to shareholders

South Plains has multiple properties in both the Eastern Permian Basin of Texas and onshore Louisiana near the Gulf with significant proven oil and gas reserves awaiting development.

The most exciting feature of their main oilfield, centered on the Swenson Ranch north of Abilene, TX, is that the areas of pay are less than 3,000 feet deep and have already produced over 2.6 million barrels of oil. South Plains' in-house and third-party estimates of the Company's over 5 square miles of contiguous leases producing, proved and probable reserves of 2.25 million to 2.5 million barrels of oil recoverable with a PV10 in excess of $27 million, exclusive of several pays that have produced on the property but were not evaluated. PV10 is the present value of future cash flows discounted by 10%.

On the Company's contiguous Welch lease which covers the same oil field there is an additional 800,000 estimated, recoverable barrels of oil with an additional PV10 of $20 million. These combined leases have approximately 45 development drill sites.

South of Abilene the Company has another proven field in the same type reservoir at similar depth supporting 8 drill sites proven and probable reserves of 400,000 barrels of oil recoverable.

The South Plains Louisiana properties are much deeper and are high pressure wells. Wells the Company owns and some they are targeting contain an estimated 18+ Billion Cubic Feet (BCF) of natural gas and 1.8million barrels of oil recoverable with an estimated PV10 of $35+ million.

Its combination with Metawells would set it up to follow the instructions of President Donald J. Trump to "drill, baby, drill"!
