Metric to be directly tied to compensation for all employees

 Ovintiv Inc. (NYSE: OVV) (TSX: OVV) today disclosed a goal to reduce methane intensity 33% by 2025. The objective, approved this week by its board of directors, will be tied to Ovintiv's annual incentive compensation program for all employees beginning in 2021. The significant reduction will be benchmarked against the Company's 2019 actual methane intensity of 0.15 metric tons CH 4 thousand barrels of oil equivalent (CH 4 MBOE), which was recently disclosed in its 16 th annual sustainability report ( https:www.ovintiv.comsustainability ). The 33% reduction in methane intensity to 0.10 metric tons CH 4 MBOE by 2025 will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Independent Board Chair Peter Dea said, "ESG is one of the board's highest priorities. We safely produce the products that make modern life possible and realize the importance of reducing our emissions. From our ongoing dialog with investors and other stakeholders, we know they share the importance we place on this topic."

Ovintiv CEO Doug Suttles said, "We are proud of our track record on environmental performance but know we need to do more. By setting this ambitious target and linking it to every employee's compensation we are sending a clear signal. Based on our team's track record of innovation and efficient delivery, I'm confident we'll meet this target and strive to exceed it."

Ovintiv has been a leader and early adopter of key disclosure frameworks from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB). A methane-focused reduction metric supports the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals and provides guidance to direct the Company's approach to sustainability. Ovintiv executives also serve in leadership roles on climate-related issues within the largest industry trade associations in North America and are collaborating with industry peers to ensure the consistent disclosure of key metrics.

  • Decklar Petroleum and San Leon have agreed to new terms on financing arrangements whereby San Leon will advance US$4,750,000 immediately and an additional US$2,000,000 by April 30, 2022 (or San Leon will accept a pro rata reduction in its shareholding in Decklar Petroleum).
  • Terms of previously announced agreements between Decklar Petroleum and San Leon have been modified in order to complete the transaction.
  • The Option Agreement that would have entitled San Leon to additional participation in the Oza Oil Field and additional ownership in Decklar Petroleum has been terminated.
  • San Leon will be involved in planning and location of the first new well to be drilled on the Oza Oil Field.

Decklar Resources Inc. (TSX-V: DKL) (OTCQX: DLKRF) (FSE: A1U1) ( the "Company" or "Decklar") is pleased to announce the closing of a funding agreement with San Leon Energy Plc (" San Leon ") whereby the previously announced Subscription Agreement will be completed for gross proceeds of US$7,500,000 (of which US$750,000 was previously paid as a refundable deposit) with US$4,750,000 paid immediately and US$2,000,000 to be paid by April 30, 2022.

As detailed below, in 2020, the Company announced that San Leon had conditionally agreed to advance US$7,500,000 by way of a loan to Decklar's wholly-owned subsidiary, Decklar Petroleum Limited (" Decklar Petroleum ").

Delays were experienced in concluding conditions precedent to the San Leon transaction, and Decklar proceeded to complete the re-entry and testing of the Oza-1 well. Based upon the Oza-1 well test, which indicated positive oil results from two zones and gas in a third zone, San Leon has agreed to advance the additional funds and to proceed with its investment in Decklar Petroleum.
