LNG Energy Group Provides Operational Update

(Neutral)
Tags

LNG Energy Group (OTC:LNGNF) reported a sharp decline in Colombian output, with first-half 2026 daily production averaging 5,449 Mcf/d of natural gas and 36 bbl/d of condensate, down 59% and 50% respectively versus the first half of 2025. Second-quarter 2026 gas and oil production fell 12% and 24% from the first quarter, while realized prices averaged US$9.0/Mcf for natural gas and US$78.4/bbl for condensate.

According to LNG Energy Group, productivity at key wells was impacted by unforeseen subsurface conditions causing casing obstructions, although original gas-in-place appears intact. The company disclosed these results as part of a remedial filing plan tied to a failure-to-file cease trade order issued in May 2025. Its Colombian branch has exited the PRES insolvency process with a Law 1116 Reorganization Agreement, covering staggered debt repayments over 39 quarters following judicial validation. The company continues to pursue a Venezuela joint venture, a non-brokered private placement financing intended to support full FFCTO revocation, and an insurance claim that could fund future Colombian drilling.

Productivity in key wells declined due to unforeseen subsurface conditions that resulted in casing obstructions, restricting repair and maintenance activities. However, the original gas‑in‑place appears to remain unaffected. Average natural gas sales prices improved as the Company strengthened contract management practices.

These operational results are being disclosed within the Company's remedial filing plan in connection with the Company's failure-to-file cease trade order issued by the Ontario Securities Commission on May 7th, 2025 (the "FFCTO").

Colombian Operations - Reorganization Under Law 1116

The Company's Colombian branch has emerged from the Proceso de Recuperación Empresarial ("PRES"), as regulated under Colombia Law 1116 of 2006 (as modified by Law 2437 of 2024), for insolvency protection, with a Reorganization Agreement (the "Agreement") that has been approved by more than 70% of all credit categories, including over 90% employee support. The Company's Colombian branch was additionally admitted to judicial validation of the Agreement before the Superintendencia de Sociedades (the Superintendency of Corporations) on October 23rd, 2025. The Agreement contemplates a staggered repayment schedule, starting on the date of final judicial validation, of the different credit classes over 39 quarters (final maturity around 2034), with allowance for accelerated payments, should this be a possibility. Admittance to judicial validation of the Agreement grants the Company's Colombian branch the continuity of the protections provided by the PRES.

Venezuela Operations Joint Venture

As announced in its news release dated May 26th, 2026, the Company continues to advance the previously disclosed proposed joint venture. The parties remain engaged in due diligence and negotiation of definitive documentation, and the Company will provide further updates as material developments occur.

Private Placement Financing and Cease Trade Order

As announced in its news release dated May 1st, 2026, the Company continues to advance its previously announced non-brokered private placement financing (the "Financing") following issuance of a partial revocation order from the Ontario Securities Commission on April 23rd, 2026. The proceeds and completion of the Financing, together with the Company's ongoing remedial filing efforts, are intended to support the full revocation of the FFCTO which currently prohibits all trading of the Company's securities. Completion of the Financing remains subject to customary conditions, including TSX Venture Exchange acceptance.

Drilling Capital and Insurance Claim

The Company is engaged in ongoing discussions with its insurers regarding the evaluation and potential resolution of an outstanding insurance claim in relation to its Colombian properties. These discussions contemplate a potential payout that, if realized, will provide funding to drill well(s) in its Colombian properties.

There can be no assurance that the proposed Agreement and/or joint venture will be completed on the terms contemplated, or at all, and of the outcome, quantum, or timing of any payout.
