NIGHTHAWK ENERGY PLC
(”Nighthawk” or ”the Company”)

Nighthawk, the US focused oil development and production company (AIM: HAWK and OTCQX: NHEGY), announces an update to the water flood project approval process.

Water Flood Project Approval

As previously announced on 8 March, 2016, the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Committee (”COGCC”) approved the Company’s application for the Arikaree Creek water flood project, subject to the Company obtaining 80% approval of the non-cost bearing interest owners (”Third Party Owners”) within six months of the date of approval, using an agreed upon revenue allocation method. On 4 May, 2016, the Company announced that the original water flood filing had been amended and filed with the COGCC to introduce a pilot project which reduced the acreage of the initial water flood area (”Pilot Project”). The Company has now received signed approvals from certain Third Party Owners that combined, exceed the required 80% approval threshold for the Pilot Project. The Third Party Owners agreed to a revenue allocation method based upon the COGCC staff recommendations.

Having now received the required 80% approval, the Company and its legal advisers are confident that regulatory approval for the sanction of the Pilot Project will be received at the COGCC’s hearings scheduled for 6-7 June, 2016, when it will consider the Company’s application to amend the original water flood filing. A further announcement will be made at the appropriate time.

03 May 2016  | Corporate Finance
The property sector is currently witnessing the rise of a new kind of company – proptechs. Their aim is to bring about disruptive change in the sector and trigger a digital transformation similar to the one happening in the financial sector with fintechs. At present, the main focus of proptechs is crowdfunding and property brokerage platforms.
PRESS RELEASE
CATELLA MARKET TRACKER PROPTECH MAY 2016
THOMAS BEYERLE CATELLA
In its latest Market Tracker, Catella investigates the booming market for proptechs, defined as new companies whose business models link innovative technological opportunities with the real estate sector.
Looking at the current situation in the property sector, Dr. Thomas Beyerle, Head of Group Research at Catella, says, “This issue is still in its infancy in continental Europe. The reason lies in the pronounced discrepancies between different European countries and along the entire value chain when it comes to the willingness to tackle the necessary workload associated with digitalisation.”
Last year alone, some USD 1.5 billion was invested in the development of proptech companies, and Catella believes this sum will increase to USD 2.3 billion by the end of 2016. However, the US and China will account for no less than 75 % of this investment, and the European countries combined will account for only 5 %.
The specific factors shaping the real estate sector need to be taken into account when analysing the scene. At present, the main focus of proptechs is on two sub-segments: crowdfunding (ultimately another form of finance) and property brokerage platforms. These are the first real offers to make an appearance on the competitive radar. Ranging from classic brokerage activities (marketing platforms) to planning tools such as building information modelling (BIM), and from crowdfunding models to the software-supported mapping of interiors, developers have very high hopes for quick market growth, according to Catella’s analysts.
“But there is still a long way to go before we see a substantive change in the market. Most proptech firms simply do not have access to the industry. They are also hampered by a structural drawback, with a lack of data. Then there is the real estate sector’s own internal capacity for development, which should not be underestimated,” says Beyerle. “For example, some signs are already pointing the way towards a ‘pay per use’ model for floor space. This is the first thing that service providers should prepare themselves for,” he concludes.
The Catella Market Tracker, May 2016 is now available at www.catella.com/research.
