Hemisphere Energy (TSXV: HME, OTCQX: HMENF) has announced its year-end 2024 reserves evaluation, highlighting significant growth and strong financial performance. The company invested $22 million in capital expenditures, achieving a 13% increase in Proved Developed Producing (PDP) reserves and a 10% boost in annual production.

Key financial metrics include:

  • Proved reserves valued at $317 million NPV10 BT with NAV of $3.21 per fully diluted share
  • PDP reserves increased by 13% to 9.3 MMboe (99.7% heavy crude oil)
  • Current quarterly production trending at 3,800 boe/d (99% heavy oil)
  • Distributed over $21 million in shareholder returns ($15.7M in dividends, $5.5M in share buybacks)
  • Exited 2024 with over $5 million in working capital

The company's Saskatchewan lands represent a small portion of current reserves (3% of Proved, 6% of Proved plus Probable) but offer significant potential upside. Hemisphere maintains low decline, long-life reserves with a Proved reserve life index of 9.1 years based on 2024 production.

Hemisphere Energy (TSXV: HME, OTCQX: HMENF) ha annunciato la valutazione delle riserve di fine anno 2024, evidenziando una crescita significativa e una forte performance finanziaria. L'azienda ha investito 22 milioni di dollari in spese in conto capitale, raggiungendo un incremento del 13% nelle riserve Proved Developed Producing (PDP) e un aumento del 10% nella produzione annuale.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 19, 2025) - Hemisphere Energy Corporation (TSXV: HME) (OTCQX: HMENF) ("Hemisphere" or the "Company") is pleased to announce highlights from its independent reserves evaluation (the "Reserve Report"), prepared by McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. ("McDaniel") and effective as at December 31, 2024.

Hemisphere's estimated 2024 capital expenditures1 of approximately $22 million grew year-end Proved Developed Producing ("PDP") reserves by 13%, increased annual production by 10%, added required infrastructure, and commenced testing a new resource play in Saskatchewan with an enhanced oil recovery ("EOR") polymer pilot project. These investments were funded entirely by cash flow from the Company's long-life reserve base and ultra-low production decline rates in the Atlee Buffalo oil assets. Hemisphere's current quarterly production is trending at 3,800 boe/d (99% heavy oil and based on field estimates between January 1 - March 15, 2025).

During the year, Hemisphere also distributed over $21 million in shareholder returns, made up of $15.7 million in base and special dividends and $5.5 million of share purchases under its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"). The Company exited the year in a cash position with estimated working capital1 of over $5 million.

The Company's continued success in the development of its EOR projects was recognized again by McDaniel in the Reserve Report. In the PDP category, Hemisphere replaced 186% of 2024 production and increased reserve value by 10% to $273 million NPV10 BT. In addition, Hemisphere's Proved ("1P") reserve value at year-end was $317 million NPV10 BT and Proved plus Probable ("2P") reserve value was $393 million NPV10 BT.

The Company's new Saskatchewan lands currently account for only 3% of 1P and 6% of 2P reserves, while making up only 3% of 1P and 5% of 2P NPV10 BT valuations of Hemisphere's reserves. Significant potential reserve upside remains on Hemisphere lands if the play proves successful over the course of 2025 and beyond.

Consistent with McDaniel's 2023 year-end evaluation, the Reserve Report incorporates full corporate abandonment, decommissioning, and reclamation costs ("ADR") in the PDP category. Hemisphere has always been cautious of acquiring additional wellbore and facility liabilities. A direct result of this strategy is that Hemisphere's reserves retain more comparative value per barrel than companies with additional ADR liabilities that must be deducted from their base valuations. Management estimates that total undiscounted and uninflated existing ADR is $8.1 million ($2.1 million NPV10 BT, with costs inflated at 2%/yr), which includes all ADR associated with both active and inactive wells, pipelines, and facilities regardless of whether such wells, pipelines, and facilities had any attributed reserves.

Hemisphere's low decline, long life, and high value reserves are indicative of the unique resource the Company has been developing over the past number of years. These valuable assets are the backbone of Hemisphere and are expected to generate significant free cash flow as they continue to grow with planned additional development and optimization of EOR techniques.

2024 Independent Qualified Reserve Evaluation

The reserves data set forth below is based upon an independent reserves evaluation prepared by McDaniel dated March 18, 2025 with an effective date of December 31, 2024, and is in accordance with definitions, standards, and procedures contained within COGEH and National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101"). Additional reserve information as required under NI 51-101 will be included in Hemisphere's Annual Information Form which will be filed on SEDAR+ on or before April 30, 2025. Due to rounding, certain totals in the columns may not add in the following tables. All dollar values are in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Pricing Assumptions

McDaniel's independent evaluation was based on the average of the published price forecasts for McDaniel, GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd., and Sproule Associates Ltd. (the "3-Consultant Average Price Forecast") at January 1, 2025, with the following table detailing pricing and foreign exchange rate assumptions. Hemisphere's corporate production historically averages a discount of approximately $4.10 to WCS pricing. When compared to last year's 3-Consultant Average Price Forecast dated January 1, 2024, the current WCS pricing outlook is up approximately 4% in 2025, and up 1% thereafter over the next 15-year period. The 2025 3-Consultant Average Price Forecast uses a 5-year 2025-2029 WTI price of US$75.75/bbl and WCS price of Cdn$84.78/bbl.

Estimates of reserves and future net revenue for individual properties may not reflect the same level of confidence as estimates of reserves and future net revenue for all properties, due to the effect of aggregation. There is no assurance that the forecast price and cost assumptions in evaluating Hemisphere's reserves will be attained and variances could be material.

All future net revenues are estimated using forecast prices, arising from the anticipated development and production of our reserves, net of the associated royalties, operating costs, development costs and abandonment and reclamation costs and are stated prior to provision for interest and general and administrative expenses. Future net revenues have been presented in this news release on a before tax basis.

"Boe" means barrel of oil equivalent on the basis of 6 mcf of natural gas to 1 bbl of oil. Boe's 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. In addition, 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.

Oil and Gas Metrics

This news release contains metrics commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry, such as "reserve life index ("RLI")" and "NAV". These terms do not have a standardized meaning and the Company's calculation of such metrics may not be comparable to the calculation method used or presented by other companies for the same or similar metrics, and therefore should not be used to make such comparisons.

"Reserve life index" is calculated as total company interest reserves divided by annual production, for the year indicated.

"NAV per fully diluted share" is calculated using the respective net present values of 1P and 2P reserves, before tax and discounted at 10%, plus internally valued undeveloped land & seismic and proceeds from warrants and stock options, plus working capital, and divided by fully diluted outstanding shares. Net present values are shown at the 3-Consultant Average Price Forecast used in the McDaniel Reserve Report. Management uses NAV per share as a measure of the relative change of Hemisphere's net asset value over its fully diluted shares over a period of time.

Management uses these oil and gas metrics for its own performance measurements and to provide shareholders with measures to compare the Company's operations over time. Readers are cautioned that the information provided by these metrics, or that can be derived from the metrics presented in this news release, should not be relied upon for investment or other purposes.

Financial Information

Certain financial information included in this news release is per Hemisphere's preliminary unaudited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, which have not yet been approved by the Company's Audit Committee or Board of Directors and therefore represents management's estimates. Readers are advised that these financial estimates may be subject to change as a result of the completion of the independent audit on Hemisphere's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the review and approval of same with the Company's Audit Committee and Board of Directors. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

Non-IFRS and Other Specified Financial Measures

Certain measures commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry referred to herein, including "Capital expenditures" and "Working capital", do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by other companies. These non-IFRS measures are further described and defined below. Investors are cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to or more meaningful than the most directly comparable IFRS measures as indicators of Hemisphere's performance. Set forth below are descriptions of the non-IFRS financial measures used in this news release.

"Capital expenditures" is used by management as a measure of capital investment in exploration and production assets, and such spending is compared to the Company's annual budgeted capital expenditures. The most directly comparable IFRS measure for capital expenditures is cash flow used in investing activities.

"Working capital" is closely monitored by the Company to ensure that its capital structure is maintained by a strong balance sheet to fund the future growth of the Company. Working Capital is used in this document in the context of liquidity and is calculated as the total of the Company's bank debt plus current assets, less current liabilities, excluding the fair value of financial instruments, lease and decommissioning liabilities. There is no IFRS measure that is reasonably comparable to working capital.

The Company has provided additional information on how these measures are calculated in the Management's Discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2023 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024, which are available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.


1 Capital expenditures and Working capital are non-IFRS measures that do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. Refer to the sections "Non-IFRS and Other Specified Financial Measures" and "Financial Information".
