Prospera Energy (GXRFF) reports operational updates and loan amendment details for February 2025. Production averaged 680 boe/d (92% oil), peaking at 798 boe/d despite extreme winter conditions. The company has completed 7 of 11 wells in Hearts Hill and 3 of 10 wells in Luseland workover programs, achieving capital efficiency under $5,000 per boe/d.

The company is reviewing enhanced oil recovery techniques and has negotiated payment plans with top 50 vendors to reduce liabilities. In Brooks, production optimization continues through fluid level drawdown and casing gas compression. Of nine horizontal wells drilled in 2023 in the Cuthbert pool, only three are meeting expectations, with workover plans for four underperforming wells.

Additionally, Prospera announces an amendment to its promissory note, increasing it by $1.55 million to a total of $14.5 million, maintaining 12% interest rate and two-year maturity, subject to TSXV acceptance.

CALGARY, Alberta, Feb. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prospera Energy Inc. (TSX.V: PEI, OTC: GXRFF) ("Prospera", “PEI” or the "Corporation")

Prospera Energy remains committed to providing stakeholders with transparent, timely, and data-driven updates on operational performance and field developments. This monthly report delivers key insights into the company’s production trends, optimization initiatives, and strategic advancements. All production figures represent the Company’s gross sales, reported in accordance with NI 51-101 and applicable industry standards.

Production averaged 680 boe/d (92% oil) from February 1st-25th, with production peaking on February 25th at 798 boe/d (92% oil), despite extreme winter conditions including record low wind chills reaching -47°C on several days. This production growth reflects the Company’s continued efforts to optimize well performance and bring additional production online.

The company continues advancing its Hearts Hill workover program with seven of eleven wells now completed, achieving capital efficiency of less than $5,000 per boe/d. In mid-February, Prospera deployed a second service rig to accelerate its Luseland workover program with three of ten wells now completed. The program’s first three wells have come in 24% under budget, while still in the clean-up and load fluid recovery phase.

The company is specifically targeting high-impact Luseland workovers, including wells with significant reservoir and production potential that have remained offline for the last 10 to 15 years. These wells were previously inactive due to lower commodity prices, lack of operational focus, limited capital availability of past operators, and outdated heavy oil downhole technology which has since seen a step change during this timeframe and which Prospera can now leverage. Additionally, the Company has initiated a review of several enhanced oil recovery techniques, including polymer flooding, steam injection, injector conversions to improve waterflood sweep, and facility debottlenecking to optimize production efficiency.

Reaffirming its commitment to strengthening its financial position, Prospera has successfully negotiated structured payment plans and arrangements with its top 50 vendors ranked by outstanding accounts payable arrears. This initiative marks a significant step toward reducing liabilities, enhancing cash flow management, and fostering long-term vendor partnerships—ensuring the Company can execute its development plans with greater financial flexibility.

The company continues to make significant strides in addressing MER and AER non-compliances including spill pile clean-ups, well and lease signage, mineral lease reacquisitions, general housekeeping, and annulus/packer fixes, ensuring adherence to regulatory standards while maintaining operational efficiency. These compliance efforts remain a top priority as Prospera reinforces its commitment to responsible resource development.

The pipeline cutout failure analysis and third-party engineering review for both Hearts Hill pipeline failures have been completed and shared with the appropriate regulatory bodies. The conclusions from these evaluations have been incorporated into Prospera’s field-wide development strategy, as well as its abandonment, reclamation, and turnaround initiatives.

In Brooks, the company continues to accelerate well production by increasing fluid level drawdown, implementing casing gas compression to alleviate pressure on the reservoir, and enhanced wax and scale mitigation strategies. These efforts have led to increased production, with additional optimization capacity available on these fronts. Preparatory work in Brooks is ongoing, including evaluations of acid fracs versus cross-linked gel fracs and the most effective matrix stimulation techniques for the Pekisko wells. AFE’s have been finalized for various projects and are ready to be capitalized as part of the company's development plans.

The company has completed extensive reviews of the nine horizontal wells drilled in 2023 in the Cuthbert pool, as only three of the wells are performing to expectations. The six lower-producing wells have been analyzed through reservoir engineering, geological assessments, and drilling post-mortem analysis. Plans are in place to conduct workovers on four of these wells over time, with one specific workover scheduled for later in Q1.

Replacement of worn-out field equipment has accelerated, with new and rebuilt engine installations being completed across all fields. Plans are in place to purchase additional new and rebuilt engines as wells are brought online. Lease operating cost reviews are now being conducted more frequently, with a current focus on optimizing electricity costs, flushby costs, and the transportation of oil from our batteries to sales points.

Loan Amendment Update
The Corporation announces a further amendment to its $11,000,000 promissory note, originally dated July 7, 2024, in collaboration with its principal lender. Following previous increases, an additional $1,550,000 has been added, bringing the total principal amount to $14,500,000. The note retains its original terms, including a 12% interest rate and a two-year maturity, with no other changes. This amendment remains subject to acceptance by the TSXV.
