Drilling is estimated to commence in early Q4 2021.<\/p>\n<p>A fourth high resolution aeromagnetic survey has been confirmed to follow up the success of similar surveys completed across the Amersfoort Project. The current survey is planned to fly a\u00a013,479 line kilometre survey covering 564km2, over selected portions of ER 270 and ER 272 which form the most Southern and Northern extensions of the Company\u2019s exploration rights.Results from the completed survey are anticipated to be received during late October 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The merger parties have now satisfied the suspensive conditions of the binding term sheet with Taxation structuring now settled enabling the definitive share purchase agreement to be executed. This enables the completion of the merger to occur before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Negotiations with South African institutional to fund a pilot production field have advanced having undertaken a successful due diligence and a decision to invest has been made and formal documentation is now being produced.<\/p>\n<p>The Company has commenced a production right application over the newly consolidated ER271 recently approved by the South African government. Will help streamline the development of production fields over 1,287km2 of prospective geology and improve the economics by not having to make multiple production right applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kinetiko Energy Limited is in the process of negotiations with a number of drilling contractors in both South Africa and Botswana to undertake the upcoming 3 well drilling program to &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/south-africa-kinetiko-energy-sourcing-for-drilling-contractor-for-its-amersfoort-project\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":9910,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7442,7445,11],"tags":[9044,9588,9589,9584,9585,9586,9587,9041,2371],"class_list":["post-10860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-countries","category-southern-africa","category-top-news","tag-amersfoort-project","tag-er-270","tag-er-272","tag-er271","tag-ka-03pt7","tag-ka-03pt8","tag-ka-03pt9","tag-kinetiko-energy","tag-south-africa","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/South-Africa-Amersfoot.jpg?fit=2560%2C1240&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5JWkQ-2Pa","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":11267,"url":"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/south-africa-kinetiko-energy-spuds-3rd-well-on-the-korhaan-project\/","url_meta":{"origin":10860,"position":0},"title":"SOUTH AFRICA: Kinetiko Energy Spuds 3rd Well on the Korhaan Project","author":"","date":"December 2, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"The third well named Korhaan-3 is estimated to reach a depth of 400m-450m to test the gassy sandstones and coal bed methane (CBM) horizons from the known coal beds that were intersected and observed to be gassy from adjacent (400m away) flow tested gas wells KA-03PT2 and KA-03PTR (Figure 1).\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Countries&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Countries","link":"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/category\/countries\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/South-Africa-Koorhan-Project.png?fit=614%2C643&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/South-Africa-Koorhan-Project.png?fit=614%2C643&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/South-Africa-Koorhan-Project.png?fit=614%2C643&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":9909,"url":"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/south-africa-kinetico-energy-completes-pilot-production-well-workover\/","url_meta":{"origin":10860,"position":1},"title":"SOUTH AFRICA: Kinetico Energy Completes Pilot Production Well Workover","author":"","date":"February 16, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"Perth-based energy exploration company Kinetiko Energy Limited has announced the successful completion of a well workover program at well KA-03PTR and KA-03PT2 at its Amersfoort project.
