FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - December 4, 2009 - CALGARY, ALBERTA - PETROFLOW ENERGY LTD. (TSX Symbol - PEF; NYSE Amex Symbol - PED)
PETROFLOW ENERGY LTD. RECEIVES NOTICE FROM ENTERRA ENERGY CORP.
Petroflow Energy Ltd. (“Petroflow” or the “Company”) announces that its subsidiary, North American Petroleum Corporation USA (NAPCUS) has received a “Notice” from Enterra Energy Corp. that alleges it is in default under the Farmout Agreement dated effective March 1, 2006 (the “Agreement”) by and between Enterra Acquisitions Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of Enterra and NAPCUS.
The Company’s firm position is that it is not in default under the Agreement, for a number of reasons that will be clearly communicated to Enterra in support of Petroflow’s continuing rights under the Farmout.
In the Notice, Enterra stated that the Notice does not constitute a notice of termination and requested that NAPCUS propose a plan satisfactory to Enterra to cure its non-performance or to otherwise reach an understanding with Enterra to modify the current arrangement no later than December 10, 2009. If no resolution can be reached and should the Company receive a termination notice under the Agreement, the Company would have 30 days to prepare a plan to cure the non-performance and a further 60 days thereafter to initiate drilling activities on the Farmout lands.
