Proved developed producing reserves valuation (NPV discounted at 10%) increased by 10% to $189 million, despite the much lower oil prices used in this reserve report. The 2026 oil price used in the reserve report is $58 a barrel which is 24% below the previous year’s report of $76 a barrel. This is in stark contrast to current oil prices, which are in excess of $90 per barrel.“Total proved reserves increased 1% in 2025, even though we drilled almost all of our wells in Proved locations and produced approximately 1.5 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) of proved reserves. And, with our percentage of PDP versus Total Proved reserves at 29%, we still have a significant amount of proved undeveloped reserves to be able to convert into future production.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

We look forward to continuing our success with our drilling program this year, which we are planning to begin in June. We are preparing multiple pad locations to quickly give us the ability to increase our drilling activity if oil prices remain elevated through 2026.”The evaluation of the Company’s reserves in the Caney formation of the Tishomingo Field in the SCOOP area of Oklahoma was conducted by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. (“NSAI“) in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities.The above total Proved reserves are attributed to the 45 Caney wells, four Woodford wells (4.9% working interest for the Company) and one Sycamore well (0.7% working interest for the Company), and the drilling of 34.85 net additional wells over the next four years. The Probable reserves are attributed to the drilling of 10.92 net additional wells over the next five years. The wells in NSAI’s 2025 report are planned at 107 to 213 acre spacing (6 wells per section) on approximately 17,696 net acres.Summary of Oil & Gas ReservesTight OilShale GasNatural Gas LiquidsMBOEsReserve CategoryKGEIGross(Mbbl)Net(Mbbl)KGEIGross(MMcf)Net(MMcf)KGEI(Mbbl)Net(Mbbl)KGEI(Mbbl)Net(Mbbl)ProvedDeveloped Producing7,9376,2159,9767,7962,1341,66811,7329,181Undeveloped18,23214,44328,40922,4806,0714,80429,03822,994Total Proved26,16920,65838,38530,2778,2056,47240,77032,175Probable10,3428,22617,02113,5473,6382,89516,81613,379Total Proved Plus Probable36,51128,88455,40643,82311,8439,36857,58645,554Possible10,3368,26810,3248,2242,2071,75814,26211,396Total Proved Plus Probable Plus Possible46,84637,15265,73052,04814,05011,12671,84856,950Net Present Value of Future Net RevenueAs of December 31, 2025Forecast Prices & CostsNet Present Value of Future Net Revenue ($ millions)Before Income TaxAfter Income TaxReserve Category0%5%10%15%20%0%5%10%15%20%United StatesProvedDeveloped Producing334.6241.0188.9156.6134.9334.5241.0188.9156.6134.9Undeveloped662.1388.6251.7172.9122.7431.2268.5173.6115.377.5Total Proved996.7629.5440.7329.5257.5765.7509.5362.5271.9212.4Probable490.6242.9143.293.865.7363.3193.7115.074.852.3Total Proved Plus Probable1,487.3872.4583.9423.3323.21,129.0703.2477.5346.7264.7Possible575.2252.4142.692.765.3426.0200.0109.067.746.4Total Proved Plus Probable plus Possible2,062.51,124.8726.5516.0388.61,555.0903.2586.5414.4311.1Note: All dollar values are expressed in U.S. dollars and may not add due to rounding.The Company’s reserves are derived from non-conventional oil and gas activities.
