Highlights of the Assets:

• Premier location in the Permian Basin of West-Central Texas – North America’s #1 oil producing region
• Partnered with San Antonio based turn-key oil field services operator with 20+ years track record in central Texas
• High netback 42 API light oil with associated natural gas
• Opportunity for low-cost optimization of producing and shut-in wells for significant organic production growth
• Low decline production base with favourable operating costs
• Multiple additional stacked shallow targets identified in unexploited oil-bearing formations accessible through conventional drilling

Wedgemount will acquire a 100% working interest in 640 acres including five leases, eleven producing wells and all surface facilities. Current production from the eleven wells is approximately 25 barrels of oil per day of high quality, low-decline, operated production. The area’s geology consists of numerous hydrocarbon producing formations which will also be targeted by the Company. The acquisition exhibits the flexibility in Wedgemount’s business strategy to target high quality assets in safe jurisdictions within the natural resources sector.

“Wedgemount is delighted to secure a highly scalable and profitable light oil asset in North America’s most prolific producing hydrocarbon basin”, remarked Wedgemount CEO, Mark Vanry. “The asset has tremendous production upside potential including low-cost optimization of existing wells, new vertical and horizontal wells, targeting of underdeveloped zones and the implementation of secondary recovery through water-flood. We’re optimistic that together our local partner, we’ll be able to add additional highly prospective targets in the immediate area during calendar 2023.”
