Greenhouse Operations with Natural Gas
can provide a Safe, Reliable and
Conscionably Profitable Food Supply with a Near-Zero Carbon Footprint

PanAm is an explorer for and a developer of oil and natural gas and industrial minerals, now in the pro-cess of altering  its operations to ESG-acceptable enterprises in order to comply with expected regulations as they pertain to Fossil Fuel use in future.

PanAm has unilaterally begun to curtail "Exploration" and will move forward only with development of Gas fields with proven producing or proven non-producing reserves.

PanAm will take delivery of its own natural gas and use it for eco-friendly endeavors such as Greenhouse and Vertical  Farming operations, as well as  Electrical Power generation and Hydrogen production.   ​

Greenhouse Operations with Natural Gas
can provide a Safe, Reliable and
Conscionably Profitable Food Supply with a Near-Zero Carbon Footprint

Our Transition Pledge: 

to transform our Company from its core business of Exploration for and the Development of Fossil Fuels to -

"an ESG - sensitive Developer and End-user  of hydrocarbons by, eliminating new exploration, - and then primarily developing only proven-producing and non-producing Natural Gas Reserves"

 Our Transition Strategy To A Sustainable Future

 (Parts 1 & 2)

Following is our plan to transform what has been

a traditional Oil and Gas "Exploration and Development" Company  into an end-user of Energy striving towards a timely transition to a 

Near -Zero Carbon Footprint by stopping our "Exploration" efforts and only developing  Natural Gas reserves classified as "Proven" going forward.

Our Traditional way of Operating as an Oil and Gas Explorer, Developer & Marketer

(1) We Use Three Dimensional (3D) Seismic data, when available, to define subsurface structural and stratigraphic anomalies,

(2) Information from wells previously drilled in PanAm's areas of interest, combined with seismic interpretation is used to create,  (3), Maps to pinpoint initial exploratory drilling locations.

(4) Drilling begins.

(5) Once drilling confirms the mapping or, preferably even before and while exploratory wells are being drilled, efforts are made to acquire additional Mineral Rights [aka - "Lands"].

(6) Again, utilizing seismic data and geological and depth information from old well logs a development drilling program is  designed.

(7) After the reservoir is developed the surface leases around the newly built facilities  are restored to their original condition.

The Exploration for and the Development of 

Oil and Natural Gas 

has been and, in general, still is a

 Profitable Endeavor.

 

 

"The Problem is", if a company genuinely wishes to transform its operations away from fossil fuel but, unlike major integrated oil companies, has no control over marketing [i.e., recovering its sunk exploration and other past expenditures at the pump], how can such a transformation be achieved without major capital losses for its shareholders, i.e., the

"Past Risk Takers".

"The Answer is" - the non-integrated fossil fuel producer must find an end-use for its product - in our case "Natural Gas" and use it to produce food, and/or some other products, in an  ESG-acceptable manner, thereby creating a marketable line of commodities.

      The Group's own Natural Gas Reserves to its                own "Focused" End-use Enterprises, such as:                                               

  • Greenhouses and Vertical Farming Facilities

  • Electrical Power Generation Installations

  • CO2 Capture and use for improved Plant growth 

  • Heating of Greenhouses and other operations 

  • Hydrogen production

KEY POINT

The Exploration for and the Development of Fossil Fuels, though deemed unpopular now, 

 has been and, in general, still is,

a Profitable Endeavor

​​

               PROTECTING PAST "RISK TAKERS"

 

"The Problem now is", if a company genuinely wishes to transform its operations away from fossil fuel but, unlike major integrated oil companies, has no control over marketing [i.e., recovering its sunk exploration and other past expenditures at the pump], how then can such a transformation be achieved without major capital losses for its shareholders, i.e., the "Past Risk Takers".

"The Answer is" - the non-integrated fossil fuel producer must find an end-use for its product - in our case "Natural Gas" - and use it to produce food or some other essential product(s) and, then must also achieve to do this in an ESG-acceptable manner, to create a marketable commodity.             

"OUR STRATEGY WILL SUCCEED"

Greenhouse Operations with Natural Gas can provide a Safe, Reliable and Conscionably Profitable Food Supply
with a Near-Zero Carbon Footprint.

    Ancillary Products are: Electricity
& Hydrogen

(1) As per our Pledge, PanAm  will not engage in any new Exploration,

Instead, the Company will only develop reserves, proven via prior rounds of drilling & other geological means

(2)  PanAm will focus its efforts on Natural Gas for use at its own designated Agricultural enterprises..

After processing - only "responsibly sourced" gas is accepted.

Strategy with First Nations

  (4)  Natural Gas

and/or Electricity,  owned by PanAm and Partners, in excess to the Group's needs, can be sold into the
general market and the power grid.

(5) PanAm is in negotiations with First Nations to  form Joint Ventures to place certain Agricultural enterprises on land they currently control, as well as on lands not yet owned but, which in future, they might wish to acquire. 

(3) PanAm and Joint Venture Partners, via the use of straddle plants, can access their own natural gas to generate electricity.

Co-generation processes

can capture and use heat, CO2 and be utilized to produce Hydrogen

(6) For planned operations, including Greenhouses, on First Nations' Land,  see also Item 6 in Part 2 of the

 Sustainable Future Section.

I Operations Meeting - MOU - Signing AM,

Recent Developments
PanAm Energy and Samina Enterprises, a First Nation controlled   Corporation, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding. Proposed is:  

  1. That a multi-phase investment concept be put forward that will concentrate on utilizing primarily natural gas for the generation of electrical power and heating of "Vertical Farm" operations and "Greenhouse" facilities

  2. That Samina gather First Nations who support the strategy to participate, at their option, with PanAm/Samina in investing in the concept, if they so desire, on lands they now control, as well as on new lands they might in future wish to add to their holdings

  3. That PanAm will create and register for sale, in Canada, Units of an Exempt Market Offering [process already in place] and, as well, establish limited partnerships for Land Acquisition and Development purposes geared for accredited investors both in Canada and Offshore to provide

equity financing (see Financing Structure
