Kolibri Global Energy Inc. Finishes Drilling Its First Three 1.5 Mile Lateral Wells Under Budget and Quicker Than Forecasted

Kolibri Global Energy Inc. (the “Company” or “Kolibri”) (TSX: KEI, NASDAQ: KGEI) is pleased to announce that it has finished drilling its first three 1.5 mile lateral wells in the Company’s Tishomingo field in Oklahoma.

Alicia Renee wells

The Alicia Renee 2-11-3H, 2-11-4H, and 2-11-5H wells were drilled safely and under budget. The drilling averaged less than 14 days each, which was substantially less than our budgeted 20 days. Completion work for all three wells is expected to begin in early October, with flowback anticipated in early November. All three wells will be completed at the same time. Kolibri has a 100% working interest in all three wells.

Wolf Regener, President and CEO, commented, “We are very proud that our team did such a great job drilling these wells safely, quickly, and well under budget. We are looking forward to getting these wells on production in the fourth quarter to further increase our cash flow and to evaluate the economic benefits of these longer lateral wells. With the wells being drilled so quickly, we are hopeful that these longer laterals can have a material impact in improving the economics and value of the field.”

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 cash flow, debt, 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.
