CALGARY , Sept. 24 /CNW/ - Cequence Energy Ltd. ("Cequence" or the "Company") (TSX: "CQE") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced acquisitions of oil and gas producing properties and related assets. Including a purchase price reduction, the aggregate purchase price is $17.25 million in cash, relative to the originally announced $19.0 million purchase price. The final purchase price is also subject to normal purchase price adjustments.

Current production from the acquired properties is approximately 850 boe/d (90% natural gas). At the time of the August 18, 2009 announcement of the property acquisitions, Cequence had anticipated declines from a significant well ("Well") and had factored these into its announced 850 boe/d property acquisition and pro forma guidance. Prior to the closing of the acquisitions, the Well began producing more water than expected and Cequence was able to negotiate a $1.75 million reduction to the purchase price as a result.

The properties acquired by the Company are concentrated in the Peace River Arch area of northwest Alberta and include 31,000 net acres of undeveloped land, various facility and pipeline working interests with the majority of production being operated. The acquisitions were financed through Cequence's existing working capital. Pro forma the acquisitions, Cequence has approximately $13 million in positive working capital, excluding the cash held within its subsidiary HFG Holdings Inc.

Cequence's pro forma production capacity is 2,100 boe/d (88% natural gas). On September 21, 2009 , Cequence announced that the operator of its wells located in the Gunnell area of north eastern British Columbia was shutting in the property based on the continued weakness in natural gas prices. This shut-in reduced Cequence's production by 500 boe/d to 1,600 boe/d.

Cequence Energy Ltd. is a publicly traded Canadian energy company involved in the acquisition, exploitation, exploration, development and production of natural gas and crude oil in western Canada .
