Canadian Overseas Petroleum Limited ("COPL"), an international oil and gas exploration and development company, today announces that its acquisition of Atomic Oil and Gas announced on December 16, 2020 is expected to close later today.

Arthur Millholland, President and CEO, commented: 
"The Denver Colorado area, where Atomic is headquartered, and the western states were impacted by a severe winter storm yesterday which caused disruption in the process of the transaction completion. It is on track to happen today and we are excited to finalize the process.”
