PARK CITY, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Creek Road Miners, Inc. (OTCQB:CRKR) (“Creek” or “Company”) has announced that it has signed a non-binding term sheet with the intention to enter into a binding and definitive merger agreement (the “Merger’) with Prairie Operating Co., LLC a Delaware Limited Liability Company (“Prairie”).

With the successful execution of the Merger with Prairie, the Company will conclude a business combination and financing to acquire certain oil and gas properties, and relocate its headquarters to Houston, TX. The combined operating company will consummate the acquisition of over 23,000 net mineral leasehold acres within the DJ Basin, targeting the prolific Niobrara and Codell formations. Offset operators include EOG, Chevron, Oxy, and Civitas. With sufficient drilling inventory to support development for the next decade, Prairie intends to become a preeminent mid-cap E&P company. Management, led by public E&P veterans Edward Kovalik, Gary Hanna and Craig Owen, has over 100 years of operational experience around the world and applies best practices from the board room to field operations.

This transaction provides Creek Road an opportunity to greatly simplify its capital structure with Prairie owning approximately 33% of the pro-forma common shares. At the conclusion of the Merger, Creek Road will be debt- free and intends to change its name to Prairie to reflect the new business operation, and Prairie will operate as the surviving company.

The Company’s current operations utilize natural gas assets to power its bitcoin mining operation. Through this transaction the Company will reposition itself towards oil and gas production. Following the intended Merger, Creek will operate as a much larger enterprise in the energy sector. Paul L. Kessler the Executive Chairman of Creek stated, “There is no more significant sector than energy at this time. With the proposed Merger, Creek will step into an opportunity to achieve scale and the generation of revenue well beyond its current operational capacity.” Mr. Edward Kovalik, the CEO of Prairie, stated, “We’re excited to build a mid-cap E&P company oriented towards growth with our world-class assets. We believe our focus on responsibly developing production, coupled with the high-margin profile of our oil-weighted assets, presents a compelling investment case for creating shareholder value.”
