About La Cortez Energy, Inc.
La Cortez Energy, Inc. is an early stage oil and gas exploration and production company currently pursuing a business strategy in the energy sector in South America, with an initial focus on identifying oil and gas exploration and production opportunities in Colombia. To that end, the company has established an operating branch, La Cortez Energy Colombia, Inc., with headquarter offices located in Bogota, Colombia, and has entered into Joint Venture Agreement for a 50% working interest in the Putumayo-4 block and for a 20% working interest in the Maranta block, both located in the Putumayo Basin in Southwestern Colombia. The company's current net acreage position in the Putumayo Basin is approximately 67,084 acres (172,080 acres gross). The assignment of the joint venture is subject to the approval of the Colombian Hydrocarbon Agency - Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos (ANH).
In early 2010, La Cortez acquired the 100% interests of Avante Colombia, Inc. in the Rio de Oro and the Puerto Barco fields, located in the Catatumbo Basin in Northeastern Colombia. Through this acquisition, the company's net acreage position in the Catatumbo Basin now totals 5,768 acres (11,535 acres gross). Each of the joint venture agreements were signed with experienced, established producers in Colombia, including Sinochem (Emerald Energy PLC – Sucursal Colombia), Petroleos del Norte S.A. a subsidiary of Petrolatina Energy PLC, and Vetra Exploracion y Produccion Colombia, Inc.. The company has a production entitlement of 140 BOPD (net before royalties) obtained from the Mirto field in the Maranta Block, and will be targeting a potential exploration portfolio of 35 million barrels of net resource potential in the coming years.
