Based on the terms of IEC's contract with the Indonesian government and an assumed oil price of $63.50/barrel, each well is expected to generate $3.33 million in net revenue in its first year, which is more than double the cost to drill each well.

As previously announced, IEC plans to drill a total of 5 wells in 2021, 6 wells in 2022 and 7 wells in 2023, for a total of 18 new wells on Kruh Block.

Mr. Frank Ingriselli, IEC's President commented "We are excited to commence our production plans on the Kruh Block. These 3 new wells, which we have the cash to drill, have the potential to grow production and cash flow for our company by nearly 300%. At today's oil price, the net cash flow we expect to receive from each of these wells, in just the first year, will be more than double the total cost to drill the wells. This is a great asset that should significantly grow our cash flow as we continue to seek to maximize returns on our investments and grow shareholder value."
