Kolibri Global Energy Inc. (the “Company” or
“KEI”) (TSX: KEI, OTCQX: KGEIF) is providing an update on
its latest wells in its Tishomingo field in Oklahoma.
Brock 9-3H Well & Glenn 16-3H Well
The Brock 9-3H well (100% working interest) has averaged about
900 Barrels of oil equivalent per day (“BOEPD”) (765 Barrels of oil
per day (“BOPD”)) for the last eight days as the well has been
flowing back the completion stimulation fluid.
The Glenn 16-3H well (100% working interest) has averaged about
860 BOEPD (690 BOPD) for the last eight days as the well has been
flowing back the completion stimulation fluid.
Emery 17-2H Well
The Emery 17-2H well* (98.725% working interest) has averaged
about 740 BOEPD (580 BOPD) for the last twenty-five days as the
well has been cleaning up after the completion.
Wolf Regener, President and CEO, commented, “These latest three
wells are currently adding over 2,500 BOEPD to our previous
production, which in the third quarter was 1,700 BOEPD. Based on
how these wells are currently performing, we anticipate easily
exceeding our 2,700 BOEPD forecast exit rate at year-end. While
early in the production cycle, the five wells we drilled this year
with our latest generation completion technique are showing some of
the best early results we have had in this field. This demonstrates
the consistency that management believes it can continue to
achieve.
“The very strong early results of the Brock 9-3H and Glenn 17-3H
are occurring while the wells are still flowing up casing as the
tubing is scheduled to be installed in the coming weeks. We are
also extremely pleased with the 740 BOEPD 25-day initial production
rate (“IP25”) from the Emery 17-2H well, which is also still
flowing up casing.
“To put this excellent well performance in perspective, the
forecasted 30-day proved curve case (IP30) utilized by our
third-party engineering firm for our December 31, 2021 reserve
report was 388 BOEPD (“Reserve Report IP30”), while the initial
30-day type curve used by the Company’s management for wells in the
corridor assumes a 472 BOEPD IP30 rate (“Management IP30”). The
Emery 17-2H well 25-day IP, the Brock 9-3H well 8-day IP and the
Glenn 17-3H 8-day IP rates are all higher than the comparable IP
day rates for both the Barnes 8-4H well that was drilled earlier
this year and the Glenn 16-2H well. The Glenn 16-2H well was
drilled a few years ago in the corridor and was completed with the
first generation of our latest completion design. The Barnes 8-4H
and the Glenn 16-2H wells ended up with IP30 rates that were about
1.5 and 1.6 times higher, respectively, than the Reserve Report
IP30.
“Based on the current performance of the wells and the
expectation that they will perform similarly to our previous core
area wells, we anticipate that all the wells will end up with IP30
rates that are much higher than the Reserve Report IP30 and above
the Management IP30. However, there can be no assurance as to what
each well’s IP30 rate or ultimate productivity will be.”

Cautionary Statements
In this news release and the Company’s other public disclosure:
The references to barrels of oil equivalent (“Boes”) reflect
natural gas, natural gas liquids and oil. Boes 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. 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. Possible reserves are those additional
reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable
reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually
recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus
possible reserves. The type curve utilized by the Company’s
management is the average of the 7 Caney wells that were drilled
prior to December 31st, 2021, are located in the Corridor (well
names can be found on the Company’s Corporate presentation), with
lateral lengths normalized to a 4,900 ft lateral length, the other
assumptions are the same as in the Company’s December 31, 2021
independent reserves evaluation.
* The Emery 17-2H was referred to as the Emery 17-3H in the
Company’s previous news release.
Readers should be aware that references to initial production
rates and other short-term production rates are preliminary in
nature and are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance
or of ultimate recovery. Readers are referred to the full
description of the results of the Company’s December 31, 2021
independent reserves evaluation and other oil and gas information
contained in its Form 51-101F1 Statement of Reserves Data and Other
Oil and Gas Information for the year ended December 31, 2021, which
the Company filed on SEDAR on March 8, 2022.

“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 of the Emery 17-2H well, the Barnes 9-3H well
and the Glenn 16-3H well, tubing is scheduled to be installed in
the coming weeks, the forecast exit rate at year-end, and
management’s expectation regarding achieving consistency in future
wells. Forward-looking information is based on plans and estimates
of management and interpretations of data by the Company’s

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

associated with the oil and gas industry (e.g. operational risks in
development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans
with respect to exploration and development projects or capital
expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve and resource estimates and
projections relating to production, costs and expenses, and health,
safety and environmental risks, including flooding and extended
interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions),
the risk of commodity price and foreign exchange rate fluctuations,
that the offset operator’s operations have unexpected adverse
effects on the Company’s operations, that completion techniques
require further optimization, that production rates do not match
the Company’s assumptions, that very low or no production rates are
achieved, that the price of oil will decline, that the Company is
unable to access required capital, that occurrences such as those
that are assumed will not occur, do in fact occur, and those
conditions that are assumed will continue or improve, do not
continue or improve, and the other risks and uncertainties
