Kolibri Global Energy Inc. Announces Operations Update
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Kolibri Global Energy Inc. (the “Company” or “Kolibri”) (TSX: KEI, NASDAQ: KGEI) is pleased to provide an operations update on its latest wells in its Tishomingo field in Oklahoma.
LOVINA WELLS
The Lovina 9-16-1H, Lovina 9-16-2H, Lovina 9-16-3H, and Lovina 9-16-4H wells (all 100% working interest) have been successfully fracture stimulated and have been flowing back the fracture stimulation fluid through a conservative controlled flowback, and are in various stages of frack fluid recovery. While the wells are still cleaning up, they have been continuing to increase their production rates as more fracture stimulation fluid is recovered. For the last four days, the 1H well has been averaging 571 Barrels of oil equivalent per day (“BOEPD”) with 473 Barrels of oil per day (“BOPD”), the 2H well has been averaging 643 BOEPD with 523 BOPD, the 3H well has been averaging 416 BOEPD, with 339 BOPD and the 4H has been averaging 322 BOEPD with 271 BOPD. The Lovina wells are producing much higher percentages of oil than many of our previously drilled wells. The higher oil percentage and the longer well lengths, with the controlled conservative flowback have led to a longer cleanup cycle compared to past Kolibri wells. Production tubing strings will be run in the wells starting next week, which previously led to significantly higher production rates in the offset well.
FORGUSON WELL
The Forguson 17-20-3H well has been successfully fracture stimulated and is anticipated to begin its flowback in the next few days. Kolibri is operator and has a 46% working interest in this well, which is testing the economics of our 3,000 acres located on the eastern side of our acreage.
BARNES 6-31-2H and 6-31-3H WELLS
A drilling rig is scheduled to move in on August 11, 2025, to begin drilling the Barnes 6-31-2H and Barnes 6-31-3H wells. These wells are planned to be 1.5-mile laterals, in which Kolibri has a 99.9% working interest. Once the drilling of both wells is complete, completion operations are planned to occur simultaneously with the two previously drilled Velin wells.
Wolf Regener, President and CEO, commented, “We are thrilled about the high oil percentage of the Lovina wells, which we believe generally leads to higher netbacks for the Company and will lead to slower decline rates. We are also looking forward to seeing what the ultimate productivity of these wells will be.
The east side acreage, where the Forguson well is located and Kolibri has approximately 3,000 net acres, is not included in the December 31, 2024, reserve report. The Caney target for the Forguson well has very similar characteristics and thickness to the main part of the field in Kolibri’s proved acreage, except that it is shallower. If the Forguson well proves to be economic, in addition to adding cash flow, it could lead to many additional development locations for the Company.
We are looking forward to the additional production and cash flow from all of these wells, which we expect will significantly increase the Company’s cash flow and add incremental value to our shareholders.”

Product Type Disclosure
This news release includes references to sales volumes of “oil”, “natural gas”, and “barrels of oil equivalent” or “BOEs”. “Oil” refers to light crude oil and medium crude oil combined, and “natural gas” refers to shale gas, in each case as defined by NI 51-101. Production from our wells, primarily disclosed in this news release in BOEs, consists of mainly oil and associated wet gas. The wet gas is delivered via gathering system and then pipelines to processing plants where it is treated and sold as natural gas and NGLs.
Cautionary Statements
In this news release and the Company’s other public disclosure: The Company’s natural gas production is reported in thousands of cubic feet (“Mcfs”). The Company also uses references to barrels (“Bbls”) and barrels of oil equivalent (“Boes”) to reflect natural gas liquids and oil production and sales. The references to 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. Discounted and undiscounted net present value of future net revenues attributable to reserves do not represent fair market 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, 2024 independent reserves evaluation and other oil and gas information contained in its Form 51-101F1 Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information for the year ended December 31, 2024, which the Company filed on SEDAR+ on March 13, 2025.
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 netbacks, rates of return and efficiencies, statements regarding timing of flowback, that the Barnes 6-31-2H and Barnes 6-31-3H wells will be 1.5 mile laterals, statements regarding drilling and completion operations, and statements regarding additional development locations for the Company. 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.
