Nostra Terra, the international oil & gas exploration and production company with development and production assets in Texas, U.S., has announced a successful fundraise supported by institutional investors, Directors and Management, existing shareholders and new investors.
Nostra Terra has raised £500,000 (before expenses) through a subscription and placing of 2,173,913,042 new ordinary shares at a price of 0.023p per share
The company has embarked on a major workover and development program at its principal producing asset at Pine Mills. It has successfully delivered on the first phase of the workover program during September and October 2024 which increased oil production by 30 bopd above that in August 2024. Net proceeds from this Fundraise will be used to accelerate the planned second phase workover program on four additional wells to deliver further potential significant increases in production and cash flow in the near term.
“Today’s fundraise is an important next step in the rebuilding of NTOG as it enables us to accelerate the second phase workover program in Pine Mills following on immediately after the very successful first phase and so deliver further potential significant increases in production, improved net backs and increased cash flow, all the more quickly,” said Paul Welch, CEO of Nostra Terra. “I would like to thank those shareholders and new institutional investors who supported the fundraise, and I look forward to updating everyone on our operational progress over the coming months.”
