Kolibri Global Energy well output rises about 55%
The new fracture-stimulation design is producing a different flowback pattern, with peak oil and gas production rates taking longer to develop than on previous Caney wells.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Kolibri Global Energy Inc. reported an operations update on wells in its Tishomingo field in Oklahoma. After about three weeks of flowback, its three Clifton Mack wells were producing a combined rate of about 2,100 BOEPD, including about 925 barrels of oil per day; the rate was up about 55% from the prior week. The wells have 97.45%-99.03% WI. Two had recovered just over 15% of fracture-stimulation fluid and one just over 7%. Kolibri said the new stimulation design is producing a different flowback pattern than its previous Caney wells: fluid recovery has been higher, while peak oil and gas production rates are taking longer to achieve. Daily fluid recovery rates had stayed nearly the same.
The Lovina 5-8-1HF well has been fracture stimulated, and flowback is expected to start early next week after the plugs are drilled out. It uses the same design and is Kolibri’s first False Caney test. The company said successful results could add future drilling locations not currently booked and increase reserves. Kolibri also expects additional production and cash flow from these wells; those outcomes are forward-looking statements subject to the assumptions and risks it described.
Filing Explained
Kolibri reports that the Clifton Mack wells’ combined rate was about 2,100 BOEPD, up about 55% from the prior week, but says the increase slowed in the last few days.

For Immediate Release
KOLIBRI GLOBAL ENERGY INC. ANNOUNCES OPERATIONS UPDATE
Thousand Oaks, CALIFORNIA, October 15, 2026 – Kolibri Global Energy Inc. (the “Company” or “Kolibri”) (TSX: KEI, NASDAQ: KGEI) is pleased to provide an operations update on its latest wells in its Tishomingo field in Oklahoma.
CLIFTON MACK WELLS
The three Clifton Mack wells (97.45%-99.03% WI) have been flowing back fracture stimulation fluid for about three weeks and have continued to show higher production rates. The new fracture stimulation design has resulted in the wells flowing back differently than our previous Caney wells. We have recovered much more of our fracture stimulation fluid in the first three weeks than in previous Caney wells, and the wells continue to have higher frac fluid rates. Two of the wells have recovered just over 15% of the fracture stimulation fluid, and one has recovered just over 7%. The different flowbacks have led to peak oil and gas production rates taking longer to achieve than in our previous wells. The Clifton Mack wells are currently producing at a combined rate of about 2,100 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“BOEPD”) which includes about 925 barrels of oil per day. This BOEPD rate is up about 55% from the prior week, while daily frac fluid recovery rates have stayed nearly the same. While the rate of increase has slowed in the last few days, we believe, based on the current higher daily fracture stimulation fluid recovery, that the wells can continue to clean up and improve further.
LOVINA 5-8-1HF WELL
The Lovina 5-8-1HF well, has been successfully fracture stimulated. Flowback is expected to start early next week after the fracture stimulation plugs are drilled out. This well also incorporated the same new fracture stimulation design used in the Clifton Mack wells.
Wolf Regener, President and CEO, commented, “We are pleased that the flowback rates are remaining high and with the large BOEPD improvement these wells have had in the last week. We are looking forward to seeing how they progress as they continue to clean up.
“I’m also excited that we will be flowing back the fracture stimulation fluid from the Lovina 5-8-1HF well, our first False Caney test, which will hopefully prove up a new bench. Successful results from this well could add many future drilling locations not currently booked, which would increase our reserves and thus value for our shareholders.
“We are looking forward to the additional production and cash flow from all of these wells, which we expect will significantly increase the Company’s cash flow and add incremental value to our shareholders.”

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 gathering system issues will be resolved, 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.
