HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / June 30, 2026 / EON Resources, Inc. (the "Company" or "EON") (NYSE American:EONR) is an independent upstream energy company with working interest ownership by subsidiaries of the Company in two fields in the prolific Permian Basin in Southeast New Mexico comprised of 20,000 leasehold acres. The fields produce over 1,000 aggregate barrels of oil per day. Today the Company announced its 2026-2030 growth strategy and capital expenditure ("capex") funding.
Our corporate Vision is to achieve 10,000 barrels of oil per day ("BOPD") by the end of 2030. In each of the years 2026 - 2030, we plan to add one
Our farmout of the San Andres formation in the GJF, as previously announced, should generate new horizontal wells this year and during each of the next four years through the end of 2030 contributing a net 1,000 BOPD to the Company in additional production each year. The drilling of the first three wells is at no cost to EON.
Funding for Drilling Capex -
LHO has an initial three well carried interest to the tanks under the farmout agreement meaning that LHO has no drilling cost attributable to its interest in those wells. The Company is pursuing and intends to debt finance the subsequent cost of Q4 2026 horizontal drilling after the initial three carried wells.
The Company is actively seeking a farmout arrangement with an industry participant in order to develop the South Justis Field ("SJF") covering 5,370 leasehold acres in Lea County, New Mexico held by EON Energy, LLC, a wholly owned Company subsidiary. We are encouraged by our recently completed geologic and engineering studies of the stacked pay present in the SJF.
"We believe the South Justis Field has even more favorable horizontal drilling potential than our San Andres formation in the Grayburg-Jackson Field," said Jesse Allen, VP Operations for the Company and LHO.
The Company plans to fund long term drilling capex organically from operations as production climbs to 2,000 BOPD and beyond.
Funding for Acquisitions -
EON is aggressively seeking Permian producing properties that resemble our existing two properties for the immense upside these properties can bring to EON. A real part of the financing picture is to use the inherent plugging and abandonment costs in these older properties as a cashless funding mechanism being a credit against the purchase price.
We also plan to use debt such as reserve based lending (RBL), asset-based lending (ABL) or overriding royalty interest (ORRI / volumetric) financing to make accretive acquisitions. EON perceives
Funding for Workovers and Expansion of Waterflood Patterns -
The Company sees tremendous expansion upside by increasing our waterflood patterns in both fields. EON plans to sell term overriding royalty interests that reverts back to EON once the investor receives its contractual 50 percent return on their investment.
"While our equity line of credit ("ELOC") and direct stock offerings create near term cash raising opportunities, we are reluctant to use equity to fund capex," said Dante Carvaggio, CEO, EON. "Our stock isn't yet priced at an attractive level to justify an equity raise. We have turned down numerous offers to raise cash using our stock. We have politely said 'no thank you' and will wait until the market fairly prices our stock."
Other Capex Needs -
EON is becoming expert at repairing old well bores and equipment with compelling economies, but this takes capital. We intend to spend
The expansion of our Seven Rivers Waterflood Patterns in the GJF will also take capital. We need to do remedial work on old wells to ensure mechanical integrity. Each pattern expansion costs
Finally, we wish to vertically integrate our operations by adding a well servicing rig and crew this year, along with another hot oiler to keep wells and flow lines operating at peak efficiency. A well servicing rig and crew running at peak capacity will require additional capital of
