Rhea-AI Summary
Kolibri Global Energy Inc. (KGEIF) announced impressive results from its Barnes 7-3H well in Oklahoma, averaging over 920 BOEPD over the last 14 days, with current production at 1,050 BOEPD. This performance is significantly higher than forecasts, with netbacks exceeding $55 per BOE based on a $100/barrel oil price. The well's current output has doubled production in the field, and discussions for the upcoming Barnes 8-4H completion are set for early April. However, uncertainties remain regarding the well's long-term productivity.
Positive
Production from Barnes 7-3H well averages over 920 BOEPD, currently at 1,050 BOEPD.
Netbacks exceed $55 per BOE assuming a $100/barrel oil price.
Current production has doubled overall field output.
Negative
No assurance on long-term productivity or 30-day initial production rate.
Early performance may not reflect ultimate recovery due to inherent uncertainties.
NEWBURY PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Kolibri Global Energy Inc. (the “Company” or “KEI”) (TSX: KEI, OTCQB: KGEIF) is providing an update on the Barnes 7-3H well (98.07% working interest), in its Tishomingo field in Oklahoma.
The Barnes 7-3H well has averaged over 920 Barrels of oil equivalent per day “BOEPD” (730 Barrels of oil per day “BOPD”) for the last 14 days with current production of about 1,050 BOEPD (830 BOPD). The Company has achieved these results utilizing a controlled flowback on the well to optimize long-term production and recoveries.
Wolf Regener, President and CEO, commented. “We are beyond thrilled about the early performance of the Barnes 7-3H well as it is exceeding even our most optimistic forecasts. Since the production from the Barnes 7-3H is not hedged, the Company is generating netbacks of over $55 per BOE from the production assuming a $100/barrel oil price. To put the well performance in perspective, the 30 day proved forecast curve case initial production rate (IP30) utilized by our third-party engineering firm for our reserve report is 388 BOEPD or 37% of what the Barnes 7-3H is currently producing. The initial 30 day type curve utilized by the Company’s management assumes a 472 BOEPD IP30 rate, and the best well we have in the field had a 630 BOEPD IP30 rate.
“Since we are only halfway through the 30 day initial production time period, there can be no assurance as to what the Barnes 7-3H well’s 30-day initial rate or ultimate productivity will be. Based on the current performance, we anticipate that the well will end up with an IP30 rate that is much higher than the reserve report proved forecast case, well above our KEI type curve and has a good chance of being around the current 14 day average. The current production from this well has doubled our production in the field.
“We are in discussions with several subcontractors and anticipate beginning completion operations for the Barnes 8-4H sometime in the first three weeks of April.”

Certain statements contained in this news release constitute "forward-looking information" as such term is used in applicable Canadian securities laws and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of United States securities laws (collectively, “forward looking information”), including statements regarding the timing of and expected results from planned wells development, the anticipated IP30 rate and beginning completion operations for the Barnes 8-4H sometime in the first three weeks of April. Forward-looking information is based on plans and estimates of management and interpretations of data by the Company's technical team at the date the data is provided and is subject to several factors and assumptions of management, including that indications of early results are reasonably accurate predictors of the prospectiveness of the shale intervals, that required regulatory approvals will be available when required, that no unforeseen delays, unexpected geological or other effects, including flooding and extended interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions, equipment failures, permitting delays or labor or contract disputes are encountered, that the necessary labor and equipment will be obtained, that the development plans of the Company and its co-venturers will not change, that the offset operator’s operations will proceed as expected by management, that the demand for oil and gas will be sustained, that the price of oil will be sustained or increase, that the Company will continue to be able to access sufficient capital through financings, farm-ins or other participation arrangements to maintain its projects, and that global economic conditions will not deteriorate in a manner that has an adverse impact on the Company's business, its ability to advance its business strategy and the industry as a whole.
