On
August 6, 2019, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA”) for the sale of the NOACK property with Flowtex
Energy LLC (“FT”). The purchaser agreed to pay $400,000 for the NOACK Assets including a $20,000 deposit that was received
on August 15, 2019, and the remaining balance of $380,000 to be received by September 30, 2019. By December 31, 2019, FT had made cumulative
payments of $375,000, resulting in a $25,000 account receivable to the Company on June 30, 2021, which was included in other current
assets. The $400,000 was recorded as a gain on sale of properties. On July 6, 2021, the remaining $25,000 accounts receivable was settled
via the following: the purchaser remitted a cash payment of $8,995, as well as paying (on the Company’s behalf) $16,005 of outstanding
property tax invoices previously incurred by the Company.
On
May 1, 2020, Petrolia Energy Corporation acquired a 50% working interest in approximately 28,000 net working interest acres located in
the Utikuma Lake area in Alberta, Canada. The property is an oil-weighted asset currently producing approximately 500 bopd of light oil.
The working interest was acquired from Blue Sky Resources Ltd. in an affiliated party transaction as Zel C. Khan, the Company’s
former Chief Executive Officer, is related to the ownership of Blue Sky. Blue Sky acquired a 100% working interest in the Canadian Property
from Vermilion Energy Inc. via Vermilion’s subsidiary Vermilion Resources. The effective date of the acquisition was May 1, 2020.
The total purchase price of the property was $2,000,000 (CND), with $1,000,000 of that total due initially. The additional $1,000,000
was contingent on the future price of WTI crude. At the time WTI price exceeded $50/bbl, the Company would pay an additional $750,000
(CND). In addition, at the time WTI price exceeded $57/bbl the Company would pay an additional $250,000 (CND) (for a cumulative contingent
total of $1,000,000 The price of WTI crude exceeded $50/bbl on January 6, 2021 and exceeded $57/bbl on February 8, 2021. The additional
payments due were netted with the accounts receivable balance from previous Joint Interest Billing statements from BSR. The total USD
value of the addition was $787,250, using prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates. Included in the terms of the agreement,
the Company also funded their portion of the Alberta Energy Regulator (“AER”) bond fund requirement ($599,444 USD), necessary
for the wells to continue in production after the acquisition. Additional funds ($385,075 USD) remain in the other current asset balance
for future payments from BSR, related to the acquisition.
On
July 27, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which nine leases totalling approximately 3,800 acres of the
4,880-acre Twin Lakes San Andres Unit were forfeited as a part of the settlement agreement. Consequently, the Company no longer has the
right to produce oil, gas, or other hydrocarbons and any other minerals from the mineral estate encumbered by the leases and owned by
the Trustee. The company accounted for the forfeiture of the TLSAU properties, in accordance with Reg S-W.T.Rule 4-10(c)(6). Accordingly,
an analysis of multi-period reserve reports was performed to determine the percentage of the cumulative US full cost pool’s reserves
that were forfeited (56% or 943,820). Then that percentage was multiplied by the period end net property balance of $10,175,456. This
resulted in a write down of $5,648,994 ($10,175,456 * 56%) of the US cost pool, which was recorded as part of operating expenses for
the year ended December 31, 2020. Note that both TLSAU and SUDS make up the US full cost pool.
On
April 8, 2021, the State of New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Oil Conservation Division (“OCD”) sent the
Company a Notice of Violation alleging that the Company was not in compliance with certain New Mexico Oil and Gas Act regulations associated
with required reporting, inactive wells, and financial assurance requirements. On December 30, 2021, the Company entered a Stipulated
Final Order to resolve the matter. The company agreed to submit appropriate forms for the identified wells, open an escrow account and
deposit funds into it, and provide the OCD with a report proposing deadlines for bringing all remaining wells into compliance. The first
two wells were plugged in June of 2022. See Form 8-K reference in Exhibits section below.
