Sara and Suri Gas Allocation and Pricing

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Jun 20, 2014) - Jura Energy Corporation ("Jura") (TSX:JEC) is pleased to announce that the Government of Pakistan ("GoP") has approved the allocation of gas from its Sara and Suri development and production leases to the Central Power Generation Company Limited ("GENCO-II").

The GoP has advised that the following pricing shall apply to the Sara and Suri gas:

  • The gas shall be sold to GENCO-II at the gas sales price for the power sector, as determined and notified by the GoP from time to time (the "Power Sector Gas Price"). The current notified price is approximately US$ 4.97 per MMBtu.
  • Jura will receive a wellhead gas price equal to the lower of:
    • The Power Sector Gas Price; and
    • The price as determined under the GoP's Modified 1994 Petroleum Policy i.e. Policy framework of 2000.

The wellhead gas price is therefore expected to be approximately US$ 4.20 per MMBtu, based on the cost and freight price of a basket of crude oil priced at US$ 100 per barrel. To the extent the Power Sector Gas Price exceeds the wellhead gas price, the difference will be paid to the GoP as a gas development surcharge.

Infrastructure and gas processing facilities are in place for the Sara and Suri fields and Jura and its joint venture partners anticipate that gas production from the Suri shut-in wells will commence in Q4 2014.

Jura is the operator of the Sara and Suri leases and holds a 60% working interest.
