OVERVIEW

Sayer Energy Advisors has been engaged to assist Tidewater Midstream and Infrastructure Ltd. (“Tidewater” or the “Company”) with the sale of certain oil and natural gas interests located in the Montney resource play region of northeastern British Columbia (the “Properties”).
 
The Properties offer production potential from multiple reservoirs alongside key Tidewater infrastructure with substantial drilling upside in the Montney Formation.
 
In the Graham area of British Columbia, Tidewater holds various working interests in approximately 119,035 gross acres (73,116 net) of land including 21,144 gross acres (13,127 net) of Montney rights. In addition, Tidewater holds various working interests in approximately 18,968 gross acres (13,740 net) of land in Northeast BC including 14,641 gross acres (12,725 net) of Montney rights.
 
The Properties offer access to an extensive facility network with current processing capacity of approximately 45 MMcf/d.
 
Reactivation of legacy production offers production potential from the Properties of approximately 4-6 MMcf/d of natural gas net to Tidewater. Prior to being shut-in in May 2016, the Properties were producing low decline natural gas primarily from the Debolt, Baldonnel, Jean Marie, Halfway and Boundary Lake formations.
 
Tidewater intends to retain the infrastructure assets and work with producers on providing full-service midstream solutions. If a party wishes to own a small working interest in the infrastructure, Tidewater would be willing to consider such proposals and requests that proposals include the desired ownership percentage and dollar value ascribed to the infrastructure assets.

PROCESS & TIMELINE

Sayer Energy Advisors is accepting cash offers relating to the Properties until 12:00 pm on Thursday February 10, 2022.

Sayer Energy Advisors does not conduct a "second-round" bidding process; the intention is to attempt to conclude a
transaction with the party submitting the most acceptable proposal at the conclusion of the process.

Sayer Energy Advisors is accepting cash offers from interested parties until
noon on Thursday February 10, 2022.

NOTE REGARDING A SAYER PROCESS

On each and every offering brochure generated by Sayer, you will note the sentence “Sayer Energy Advisors does not conduct a “second-round” bidding process; the intention is to attempt to conclude a sale of the Property with the party submitting the most acceptable proposal at the conclusion of the process.”  What this means is that Sayer will not go back to multiple parties at the same time after bids are received, asking them all for a second bid.  We determine which party submitted the most acceptable proposal and then we attempt to negotiate acceptable terms with that party in a “one-off” situation.

If the process involves a cash sale of a property or company and the party which submitted the most acceptable proposal has met our client’s threshold value, that offer will be accepted.  If this proposal does not meet our client’s threshold value, then we will advise that party that the offer is not quite what our client was expecting, and we will ask them to increase the offer.  If that offer is not acceptable to our client, we will then move down to the party which submitted the next most acceptable proposal and we will then work with that party to attempt to meet our client’s threshold value.

In the extremely rare circumstance where two or more parties submit virtually identical proposals, we will contact all parties, we will advise them of this situation and we will ask them to submit a revised proposal.  Once these are received, we will work with the party which has submitted the most acceptable proposal.
