Condor’s Workover Results Continue to Exceed Pre-Job Expectations
October 28 2024 - 6:58AM
Condor Energies Inc. (“Condor” or the “Company”) (TSX: CDR), a
Canadian based energy transition company, is pleased to provide an
operational update for its eight gas field production enhancement
project in Uzbekistan.
Two recently worked-over wells have returned to
service and are providing 441 boepd of incremental production,
after a combined 20 meters of previously unperforated reservoir pay
was accessed. Prior to the workovers, the first well wasn’t
producing and is now flowing 410 boepd based on a 24 hour
production test. Although the second well is still recovering
workover fluids, its incremental flow rate is already 31 boepd or a
65% increase, also based on a 24 hour test. As disclosed earlier
this month, three prior workovers added a cumulative 330 boepd of
incremental production.
A second rig that was planned for delivery in
early November has already begun workover activities on a well that
is targeting up to 25 meters of previously unperforated reservoir.
With over 100 wells in the eight fields, there is a large inventory
of both producing and shut-in wells available for evaluation,
recompletion and optimization opportunities to profitably grow
production.
The extensive geological evaluations performed,
coupled with recent workover results, suggest that material
untapped hydrocarbon potential exists within the carbonate
formations of the Company’s 279 km2 license area. These carbonate
platforms contain thick reservoir sections interbedded with
laterally extensive evaporite layers, creating ideal conditions for
hydrocarbon trapping. The reservoirs are analogous to carbonate
formations in Canada’s Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (“WCSB”),
such as the Charlie Lake and Midale, which continue to be
successfully monetized. By leveraging this geological similarity,
the Company is maturing the potential of horizontal and
multi-lateral drilling, a proven method in Canada to enhance
deliverability and maximize recovery from these reservoirs.
Don Streu, President and CEO of Condor,
commented: “We continue to be very pleased with the early results
of our workover program and are excited to have a second service
rig operating. The multiple successes of world-class developments
in the WCSB showcases how carbonate reservoirs can deliver
impressive production rates and recoveries. The geological
characteristics in Uzbekistan - thick reservoirs interbedded with
evaporites - are strikingly similar to those found in Western
Canada, where decades of production have been economically
sustained. By employing advanced horizontal and stacked drilling
techniques, we could achieve even higher deliverability and
maximize recovery from our Jurassic carbonate reservoirs, mirroring
the positive Canadian analogue outcomes.”
ABOUT CONDOR ENERGIES INC
Condor Energies Inc is a TSX-listed energy
transition company that is uniquely positioned on the doorstep of
European and Asian markets with three distinct first-mover
initiatives: increasing natural gas and condensate production from
its existing fields in Uzbekistan; an ongoing project to construct
and operate Central Asia’s first LNG facility in Kazakhstan; and a
separate initiative to develop and produce lithium brine in
Kazakhstan. Condor has already built a strong foundation for
reserves, production and cashflow growth while also striving to
minimize its environmental footprint.

previously unperforated reservoir; the timing and ability for
material untapped hydrocarbon potential to exist within the
carbonate formations of the Company’s license area; the timing and
ability for carbonate platforms to contain thick reservoir sections
interbedded with laterally extensive evaporite layers to create
ideal conditions for hydrocarbon trapping; the timing and ability
for the Company’s reservoirs to be analogous to carbonate
formations in Canada’s Western Canada Sedimentary Basin; the timing
and ability to mature the potential of horizontal and multi-lateral
drilling to maximize recovery; the timing and ability to employ
advanced horizontal and stacked drilling techniques; the timing and
ability to drill new wells and the ability of the drilled wells to
become producing wells; projections and timing with respect to
production; the timing and ability to obtain future funding on
favorable terms, if at all; the timing and ability to increase
production by executing the planned drilling and workover programs;
and the timing and ability to obtain various approvals and conduct
the Company’s planned development activities.

* Barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) are derived
by converting gas to oil in the ratio of six thousand standard
cubic feet (“Mscf”) of gas to one barrel of oil based on an energy
conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does
not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given 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 Mscf to 1 barrel, utilizing a conversion ratio at 6 Mscf to 1
barrel may be misleading as an indication of value, particularly if
used in isolation.
