The company reported base production of over 1,000 barrels/day and now has much of 2026–2027 oil volumes hedged, including portions above $70.00. Past news has often led to positive moves, though the prior hedging update saw a selloff, highlighting that sentiment around risk management versus upside can shift quickly.

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / March 11, 2026 / EON Resources Inc. (NYSE American:EONR) ("EON" or the "Company") is an independent upstream energy company with 20,000 leasehold acres in the Permian Basin. The fields have a total of 750 producing and injection wells producing over 1,000 barrels of oil per day. Today, the Company announced the expansion of its oil hedging position to fill out its base needs for all of 2026 and 2027. This expansion is in addition to EON's hedging status announced in the February 12, 2026 hedging press release. The current hedging position sets the stage for supporting the hedging needs as production increases under the horizontal drilling program announced in the September 11, 2025 farmout press release and further described in the letter to the EON shareholders dated January 21, 2026.
Hedging Position:
The Company was able to take advantage of higher oil price spikes this past week to fill out its hedging position needs for the Grayburg-Jackson field waterflood program through the end of 2027. As described in the February 12, 2026 hedging press release, EON had taken advantage of oil price spikes in September, January and February to establish a base level hedging position through the first quarter of 2027.
This past week, EON expanded the hedging to a full 24-month position where the next 15 months are approximately
"We are really pleased to have filled our hedging positions for the Grayburg-Jackson waterflood for a few strategic business reasons," said Mitchell B. Trotter, CFO of the Company. "First, having these hedges in place mitigates the risks of unfavorable price movement while providing base level protection for the cash requirements necessary for operating expenses and any potential debt service requirements. The second reason, of course is that EON is now more attractive to potential future debt financing. The third and a major reason is that having our hedging at this level is a great hedge platform for upcoming production growth via the San Andres horizontal drilling program."
"While we believe the war in Iran will be swift, we also expect prices will settle back to between
Production growth:
"Regarding our production growth, timing could not be better as we look forward to the production from the San Andres horizontal drilling program in the second half of 2026. The program has been moving along and is proceeding on schedule. The first three wells are expected to be in service by end of July, and we expect around 10 wells to be completed by the end of the year," said Dante Caravaggio. "EON has a
"Part of the farmout program includes the recompletion of five vertical wells in the San Andres that we expect to provide data to aid in maximizing the horizontal drilling," added Mr. Caravaggio. "We expect to boost our net production by an expected 100 to 300 barrels of oil per day in the second quarter of 2026."
"After the last two years of stabilizing the Grayburg-Jackson field and upgrading the infrastructure to our standards, the major infrastructure enhancement of the Skelly Unit water trunkline is now complete," said Jesse Allen, Vice President of Operations for the Company. "We expect to see results from the trunkline and from injector wells being brought back online over the next few months. We are also focusing on expanding of the South Justis field to increase production over the next several months."
