CALGARY, AB, May 17, 2024 /CNW/ - CanAsia Energy Corp. ("CanAsia") (TSXV: CEC), on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary Andora Energy Corporation ("Andora"), announced today that Andora has completed the acquisition of certain assets (the "Assets") of Northern Alberta Oil Ltd. ("NAOL") and Deep Well Oil & Gas (Alberta) Ltd.

As previously announced by CanAsia on April 29, 2024, Andora was selected by the Receiver as the successful bidder to acquire the Assets, subject to, among other things, the approval of the Court of King's Bench of Alberta (the "Court").
