Sonoro Energy Enters Into a Strategic Alliance and Provides Update on Operations

(via TheNewswire)

September 11, 2018 / TheNewswire / Calgary, Alberta - Sonoro Energy Ltd. ("Sonoro" or the "Company") (TSXV: SNV) has entered into a Strategic Alliance Memorandum of Understanding with one of Indonesia's largest companies to develop oil and gas activities in Indonesia as joint partners (the "Joint Cooperation"). This strategic relationship is focused on the pursuit of activities related to the Budong-Budong project in West Sulawesi, Indonesia and also includes other conventional oil and gas opportunities in Sumatra, Indonesia. The Indonesian entity is engaged in a diversity of businesses including property development, plantation ownership as well as trading both domestically and internationally.

In March and July 2018, Sonoro announced that it was unsuccessful in obtaining a term extension for the Budong-Budong Production Sharing Contract in which Sonoro drilled a discovery well in November 2017. The consortium of the Joint Cooperation will continue to seek this extension from the Indonesian government under the current Production Sharing Contract arrangement. There can be no assurance that project extension will be granted. In addition, the Joint Cooperation intends to submit a joint bid in response to Indonesia's conventional Oil and Gas 2nd Bidding Round for October 2018. If successful in its bid Sonoro will have an interest ranging between 25% to 49% and will act as operator. Specific details about the new project and the Indonesian company will be provided if and when the Joint Cooperation is awarded the project or if and when Budong Budong is granted an extension of its term.

The Company also announces that Mr. Chris Atkinson, the current Chairman of the Company, will assume the role of interim CEO with the resignation of Mr. Richard Wadsworth from his position as CEO. Mr. Atkinson thanks Mr. Wadsworth for all his efforts over the past years in that role. Mr. Dean Callaway, current CFO will join the Board as a Director of the Company.

With regards to the Joint Cooperation, Mr. Atkinson commented "We are pleased to have the opportunity to become joint venture partners with one of Indonesia's most successful private investment groups which has had an impressive track record over their various business endeavors in Indonesia and is now seeking to repeat that success with Sonoro in the oil and gas sector. The Joint Cooperation relationship will allow Sonoro to actively pursue additional opportunities in Indonesia ultimately providing a more diversified portfolio of assets in a country I personally know extremely well"

The Company is continuing with the development of its Blockchain technology concept as well as its ongoing assessment of other international oil and gas production opportunities.
