Altenesol LNG Colombia S.A.S. Allies With Shona Energy to Supply Natural Gas for Nataly 1
October 11 2012 - 2:51PM
IAHL Corporation (Other OTC:IAHL) is pleased to announce that their
subsidiary, Altenesol LNG Colombia S.A.S., has entered into a
letter of intent ("LOI") with Geoproduction Oil and Gas
Company of Colombia a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shona
Energy Company Inc. for the supply of natural gas to the
Nataly 1 LNG Plant. A definitive agreement is anticipated to be
signed in the 4th quarter, upon completion of certain milestones,
and would replace the LOI.
Pursuant to the LOI, Geoproduction will supply up to 17 million
standard cubic feet of natural gas per day under a ten year take or
pay contract with option to extend the supply contract for an
additional five years. The starting price will be determined
in the definitive agreement but the starting price is expected to
be within a range of $4.50 and $5.25 per million BTU. The
approximate value of the proposed contract is $260 million for the
ten year period; exact amount will depend on the final agreed
price. All of the numbers are in U.S dollars.
"IAHL is committed to growing the use of liquefied natural gas
("LNG"), which is a more cost-effective and cleaner fuel, in
Colombia. The targeted market for the LNG is the residential
sector particularly in areas where there is no connection to the
gas pipelines. Also, the LNG is expected to be used in the
heavy duty transportation sector where LNG will replace diesel fuel
oil (DFO). These efforts will significantly minimize the green
gas emissions and directly contribute to the elimination of CO2
emissions. A portion of the natural gas purchased from Shona
will be used to produce the plant's electricity, which will lower
the production costs by about approximately $7.5M per year compared
to purchasing the electricity from the local utility company. The
Nataly 1 plant is projected to generate about $65M per year in
revenue or $650M over the 10 year contract period. IAHL will
generate additional revenues in its Colombian subsidiary from the
distribution of the LNG business and the regasification business in
the amount of $53 million and $9.7 million, respectively, over the
10 year contract period. We expect that Nataly 1 will be
followed by a total of 5 plants in Colombia within the next 7
years," said Nelson De La Nuez, CEO of IAHL.
We thank the shareholders for their patience and continued
support. Our goals and expectations are continually
scrutinized to ensure no changes occur to our share
structure. We are in the process of acquiring the land where
the Nataly 1 plant will be located, completion of the FEED study
and the project financing. The financing is expected to be
completed in Altenesol LNG Colombia S.A.S. and therefore will not
dilute our existing shareholders. Our longer term goal is to
seek a listing on a larger North American exchange. Feel free
