Sintana is the Canadian parent company of a group of companies focused on the
acquisition, exploration, potential development and ultimately the
monetization of a portfolio of direct and indirect interests in high-impact
assets with significant hydrocarbon resource potential in prospective
"frontier" geographies.
Specifically, this includes interests in eight licences in two countries,
Namibia and Uruguay, as well as a pending indirect interest in a licence in
Angola (and legacy assets in The Bahamas and Colombia), thus providing
diversified exposure to a range of geologic plays, basins, operators,
regulators and geopolitical regimes. The portfolio is anchored by an indirect
interest in the significant discoveries in the Mopane Complex (contained in
Petroleum Exploration License 83 in the Orange Basin, Namibia), together with
additional high-impact exploration catalysts across multiple other assets.
Sintana's portfolio currently comprises of:
indirect interests in four large, highly prospective petroleum exploration
licences ("PELs") in the Orange Basin, offshore Namibia, including an indirect
4.9% carried interest in PEL 83, home of the Mopane discoveries that were made
in 2023, as well as indirect interests in PELs 79, 87 and 90;
an indirect interest in one PEL offshore Namibia in the Walvis Basin (PEL 82),
and one PEL onshore Namibia in the Waterberg Basin (PEL 103);
direct interests in two offshore blocks in Uruguay, being AREA OFF-1 in the
Punta del Este Basin and AREA OFF-3 in the Pelotas Basin (these interests
became part of the Sintana portfolio on completion of the acquisition of the
Challenger Group on 16 December 2025);
a 5% indirect interest in the KON-16 licence in the onshore Kwanza Basin in
Angola (subject to completion of the transaction to acquire that interest,
which was entered into by Sintana in May 2025, with completion expected in H1
2026); and
legacy assets onshore in the Middle Magdalena Basin, Colombia, and offshore in
the territorial waters of The Bahamas.
