Kolibri Global Energy Inc. Provides Drilling Program Update

Kolibri Global Energy Inc. (the “Company” or “KEI”) (TSX: KEI, OTCQX: KGEIF) is pleased to provide an update on its operations located in the Company’s Tishomingo field in Oklahoma.

OPERATIONS

The Company has completed the location work for the Glenn 16-3H and Brock 9-3H wells, which are the third and fourth wells in the Company’s 2022 drilling program. The location for the 5th well, the Emery 17-2H, should be completed by the end of the month. The drilling rig loads finished arriving on location last week and a third-party crane is expected on site tomorrow to begin rigging up the drilling rig.

The rig is expected to spud the Glenn 16-3H by September 1st. All three wells are planned to be drilled back to back and the completion operations for the Glenn 16-3H and Brock 9-3H wells have been tentatively scheduled for the first week of October.

Wolf Regener, President and CEO, commented, “I am excited that we will be continuing our 2022 drilling program shortly. The Barnes 7-3H and Barnes 8-4H wells both continue to exceed our management type curve. We are currently on target to meet or exceed our previously announced financial guidance. This guidance has the Company exiting the year with production rates that are about three times higher than the beginning of the year, with 2022 adjusted funds flow that is about four times higher than what we achieved in 2021, and a total debt to EBITDA ratio at year-end of less than 1.0.”

The Company’s investor presentation has been updated and can be found on the Company’s website.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

Adjusted funds flow is not a measure recognized under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Management of the Company believes that adjusted funds flow is relevant for evaluating returns on the Company's project as well as the performance of the enterprise as a whole. Adjusted funds flow may differ from similar computations as reported by other similar organizations and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures as reported by such organizations. Adjusted funds flow should not be construed as an alternative to net income, cash flows related to operating activities, working capital or other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS, as an indicator of the Company's performance.

An explanation of how adjusted funds flow provides useful information to an investor and the purposes for which the Company’s management uses adjusted funds flow is set out in the management's discussion and analysis under the heading “Non-GAAP Measures” which is available under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com and is incorporated by reference into this news release.

Adjusted funds flow is calculated as cash from operating activities excluding changes in non-cash operating working capital and interest expense. The Company considers this a key measure as it demonstrates its ability to generate funds from operations necessary for future growth excluding the impact from short-term fluctuations in the collection of accounts receivable and the payment of accounts payable and financing costs.

The following is the reconciliation of adjusted funds flow to the comparable financial measures disclosed in the Company’s financial statements:

Cautionary Statements

In this news release and the Company’s other public disclosure: The references to barrels of oil equivalent ("Boes") reflect natural gas, natural gas liquids and oil. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves. The type curve utilized by the Company’s management is the average of the 7 Caney wells that are located in the Corridor (well names can be found on the Company’s Corporate presentation), with lateral lengths normalized to a 4,900 ft lateral length, the other assumptions are the same as in the Company’s December 31, 2021 independent reserves evaluation.

Readers should be aware that references to initial production rates and other short-term production rates are preliminary in nature and are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. Readers are referred to the full description of the results of the Company's December 31, 2021 independent reserves evaluation and other oil and gas information contained in its Form 51-101F1 Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information for the year ended December 31, 2021, which the Company filed on SEDAR on March 8, 2022.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements contained in this news release constitute "forward-looking information" as such term is used in applicable Canadian securities laws and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of United States securities laws (collectively, “forward looking information”), including statements regarding the expected timing and completion of the Company’s work and operations in the Company’s 2022 drill program, the timing and expected funding sources of, and expected results from, planned wells development, and forecasted production rates, revenue, adjusted funds flow and net debt to EBITDA ratio.

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 $90 a barrel oil price, $6 Henry Hub and NGL pricing of $36 bbl, cost inflation of over 20% for the three remaining wells planned for 2022, work and operations in the Company’s 2022 drill program being completed on schedule, future operating costs, forecast prices and costs, estimated production, capital and other expenditures, plans for expected results of drilling activity, that anticipated results and estimated costs will be consistent with management’s expectations, 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 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.
