THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Kolibri Global Energy Inc. (the “Company” or “Kolibri“) (TSX: KEI, NASDAQ: KGEI) is pleased to provide a further update on its latest wells in its Tishomingo field in Oklahoma.

Thirty-day Flow Rates

The initial thirty-day average production rate for the Alicia Renee 2-11-3H (“Alicia 3H”) was 1,062 Barrels of oil equivalent per day (“BOEPD”) (711 barrels of oil per day (“BOPD”)), the Alicia Renee, 2-11-4H (“Alicia 4H”) averaged 883 BOEPD (593 BOPD) and the Alicia Renee 2-11-5H (“Alicia 5H”) well averaged 706 BOEPD (474 BOPD). Current production is about 1,080 BOEPD, 980 BOEPD, and 800 BOEPD, for the Alicia 3H, Alicia 4H and Alicia 5H, respectively.

Kolibri owns a 100% working interest in the wells, which were drilled at a 6-well per section spacing pattern with a lateral length of 1.5 miles. The average cost for the facilities, drilling, and completing these wells is estimated to be less than US$6.3 million per well. These costs include the estimated future cost of installing the tubing and other associated completion equipment into the wells. These estimated future costs are not expected to be incurred until next year, as the wells are still flowing up casing and do not appear to need the tubing installed until then.

Wolf Regener, President and CEO, commented, “We are extremely pleased with how strong these longer lateral Caney wells are performing so far, with all of them still flowing up casing. Also, the expected all-in costs of less than US$6.3 million per well, combined with the great production results so far, indicate the wells to likely be more economic than we had forecast. Assuming the wells continue to perform as we anticipate, it should lead to demonstrating the higher rates of return and efficiencies that we were hoping for. Even with the expected natural declines from the wells, adding these three wells to our existing production, which was 3,032 BOEPD in the quarter ended September 30, 2024, we expect our cash flow to be significantly increased in the fourth quarter and into 2025.”

Cautionary Statements

In this news release and the Company’s other public disclosure: The references to barrels of oil equivalent (“Boes”) reflect natural gas, natural gas liquids and oil. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.

Readers should be aware that references to initial production rates and other short-term production rates are preliminary in nature and are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. Readers are referred to the full description of the results of the Company’s December 31, 2023 independent reserves evaluation and other oil and gas information contained in its Amended and Restated Form 51-101F1 Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information for the year ended December 31, 2023, which the Company filed on SEDAR on March 25, 2024.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements contained in this news release constitute “forward-looking information” as such term is used in applicable Canadian securities laws and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of United States securities laws (collectively, “forward looking information”), including statements regarding the timing of and expected results from planned wells development, wells performing as anticipated, including anticipated increases in production, cash flow, higher rates of return and efficiencies and statements regarding the estimated average cost for the facilities, drilling and completing the Alicia 3H, Alicia 4H and Alicia 5H wells. Forward-looking information is based on plans and estimates of management and interpretations of data by the Company’s technical team at the date the data is provided and is subject to several factors and assumptions of management, including that indications of early results are reasonably accurate predictors of the prospectiveness of the shale intervals, that required regulatory approvals will be available when required, that no unforeseen delays, unexpected geological or other effects, including flooding and extended interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions, equipment failures, permitting delays or labor or contract disputes are encountered, that the necessary labor and equipment will be obtained, that the development plans of the Company and its co-venturers will not change, that the offset operator’s operations will proceed as expected by management, that the demand for oil and gas will be sustained, that the price of oil will be sustained or increase, that the gathering system issues will be resolved, that the Company will continue to be able to access sufficient capital through cash flow, debt, financings, farm-ins or other participation arrangements to maintain its projects, and that global economic conditions will not deteriorate in a manner that has an adverse impact on the Company’s business, its ability to advance its business strategy and the industry as a whole.
