Kolibri Global Energy (KEI & KGEIF in US) Update - Sept 6
Posted: Wed Sep 06, 2023 7:47 am
Thousand Oaks, CALIFORNIA, September 6, 2023 – Kolibri Global Energy Inc. (the “Company” or “KEI”) (TSX: KEI, OTCQX: KGEIF) is pleased to provide an operations update for its Tishomingo field in Oklahoma.
Drilling and Completion Operations
The Barnes 7-4H and 7-5H wells were successfully drilled and cased in the Lower Caney formation safely and under budget. The drilling rig is currently moving over to the Emery pad for the drilling of the next two Lower Caney wells and a T-zone well. The first of these next three wells, the Emery 17-3H, is expected to begin drilling within the week.
The Barnes 7-4H and 7-5H are scheduled to begin completion operations within the next two weeks once the drilling rig has moved out and all the equipment for the fracture stimulations has moved in and is rigged up.
Wolf Regener, President, and CEO commented, “We are excited to begin completion operations on the Barnes 7-4H and Barnes 7-5H wells, and to move the same drilling rig over to drill the next three-well pad immediately. We are looking forward to the additional production that we expect from all these wells.”
Recently Completed Wells and Field Update
The Company is pleased to report that the Barnes 8-3H well, which is our first T-zone well utilizing our latest completion technique and has been on production for just over 2 1/2 months, is currently producing in line with management's forecasted production. The production from our earlier T-zone wells had declined much harder at this stage. Achieving commercial rates from the T-Zone could add many additional well locations and reserves that are not currently reflected in our reserve estimates. The T-zone formation is present over our entire acreage block and is thus potentially very significant to the Company. < If the T-Zone wells continue to produce oil at rates in line with the pre-drill type curves, the Company's probable reserves (2P) could double.
The current production from the Barnes 8-2H well in the Lower Caney is within management’s forecasted production band range. The Barnes 8-1H well, which is in the Upper Caney, is producing just below management’s expected forecasted production band range. As we previously disclosed, while the Barnes 8-1H is still economic, the Company plans to place our future Caney wells in the Lower Caney formation.
The gathering system operator for the field has had issues for much of August, which resulted in the Company’s production being restricted from the entire field. The issues are being resolved and the production is rebounding.
