International Frontier Resources Corporation (IFR) is a Canadian publicly traded company with a demonstrated track record of advancing oil and gas projects. Through its strategic joint venture, Tonalli Energia, with Mexican petrochemical leader Grupo IDESA, it is advancing the development of petroleum and natural gas assets in Mexico.
Why Mexico?
- Starting in 2013, Mexico's government implemented massive energy reforms to encourage investment
- Foreign investment allowed in the oil and gas sector, ending PEMEX's 75+ year monopoly
- Five year plan contemplates the award of 579 blocks, totaling more than 239,000 sq km and estimated resources equivalent to 42,680 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE)
- Since 2013, Mexico has secured potential oil sector investments of US$150+ billion
- Well-developed infrastructure and service sector
Onshore Opportunity
- IFR is on target to become one of the first foreign companies to drill onshore in Mexico in almost 80 years
IFR and Grupo IDESA are fully aligned, with each owning a 50% partnership stake in Tonalli. Tonalli was one of the first companies to secure rights to develop some of Mexico's established onshore assets. In the first onshore bid round, it won the rights to tap into the 7.2 square kilometer Tecolutla block, which contains an oil reservoir at 2,340 meters or approximately 7,700 feet.
Tecolutla Block
- Tonalli spudded its first well on April 11, 2018
- Production by Tonalli anticipated to commence at Tecolutla in 2018.
- Tecolutla establishes Tonalli as an operator in Veracruz, a business-friendly state with a long history of oil and gas production.
- Tampico-Misantla Basin could be an onshore ‘Super Basin' with potentially huge unconventional oil and gas potential.
- First-ever 3D seismic surveys for the block have been reprocessed by Tonalli.
- Historic peak production of 900 bbls/d from three wells; the last well was in production until December 2014.
- Opportunity to acquire new assets and adjacent unassigned lands in bid round 3.2 and the onshore unconventional round 3.3; auctions scheduled to occur on July 25, 2018 and September 5, 2018, respectively.
- Desirable area to operate from a social risk perspective.
In addition to its Tecolutla oil asset, Tonalli is assessing upcoming oil and gas opportunities in Mexico, including bid rounds and joint ventures.
IFR Growth Strategy
- Achieve first oil from Tecolutla in 2018
- Maximize reserves and production on Tecolutla
- Expand land base in current and future onshore bid rounds
- Leverage first mover advantage to generate joint ventures with PEMEX and other industry partners
- Increase financial capacity with strategic and institutional investors
Investment Highlights
- Investing in Mexico's energy reform is an unprecedented opportunity – no market in the world holds greater potential for companies to acquire, develop and produce existing oil and gas assets.
- Industry-leading joint venture – combines the strength of Grupo IDESA, a well-established Mexican petrochemical company, and International Frontier Resources Corp. (IFR), which brings proven Canadian expertise to Mexico. Through this JV, IFR is on target to become one of the first foreign companies to drill onshore in Mexico in almost 80 years.
- Success-driven and experienced team – executive and technical team with extensive capital markets and exploration and production (E&P) experience in the Americas, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
- First-mover advantage – Block 24 Tecolutla establishes IFR's joint venture as one of the first operators in Mexico which provides key insights into future auction rounds.
- Development Plan Underway – Tecolutla is a vastly underdeveloped mature field with huge upside potential.
