Condor Announces 2025 Third Quarter Results

Executive Summary
- Condor released its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for Q3 and nine‑month periods ended September 30 2025, showing modest production growth in Uzbekistan and a strong operating netback increase for natural gas.
- The Company is actively drilling its first horizontal well in Uzbekistan (1000 m lateral underway) and plans up to 12 wells in 2026, supported by a field‑compression design expected to add >20 MMscf/d incremental production.
- A USD 5.0 million bridge loan was secured on August 12 2025 to fund the First LNG Facility in Kazakhstan, which is slated for commissioning in Q3 2026; total estimated remaining capex for the facility is USD 23.6 M (CAD 32.9 M).
Key Details
- Financial Highlights
- Production (Q3 2025) – 9,978 boe/d (9,778 boe/d gas, 200 bopd condensate).
- Sales for Q3 2025 – $18.74 M (Uzbekistan natural gas & condensate).
- Operating netback (natural gas) Q3 2025: $6.238 M vs $6.993 M FY‑24; per‑Mcf netback improved to $1.24 from $1.40.
-
Condensate operating netback Q3 2025: $0.824 M vs $1.314 M FY‑24; per‑bbl netback $45.62 vs $60.40.
-
Drilling Program – Uzbekistan
- First Well: pilot vertical hole 2,805 m completed; identified 37.6 m non‑contiguous net gas pay (28.5 m carbonate, 9.1 m clastic).
- Horizontal lateral section (~1,000 m) currently being drilled; numerous mud‑gas shows encountered. Expected tie‑in: December 2025.
- Second Well: planned 1,000 m open‑hole horizontal from same pad, targeting shallower carbonate zone; simplified casing design to reduce cost/time.
-
Additional rig procurement underway to enable up to 12 wells in 2026 across the license area, including a vertical well on an under‑developed southern field that previously increased production from 1.1 MMscf/d to 7.5 MMscf/d after perforation.
-
Field Compression
- Phase 1 engineering design completed; procurement started.
-
Independent simulation predicts >20 MMscf/d incremental gas production once compression is installed (commissioning targeted Q4 2026).
-
LNG Project – Kazakhstan (First LNG Facility, Saryozek Site)
- Initial capacity: 48,000 gal/day (≈80 MT/day) of LNG. Two additional identical modules planned.
- Equipment purchase completed May 2025; construction ≈90 % complete.
- Incurred costs to date: CAD 5.24 M (CAD 4.58 M PP&E, CAD 0.66 M gas allocation).
- Estimated remaining capex: USD 23.6 M (CAD 32.9 M) for equipment, feed‑gas hookup, power, storage and loading infrastructure.
-
Bridge loan terms: $5.0 M unsecured, 9% annual interest, maturity earlier of March 30 2026 or ten business days after third‑party financing receipt; proceeds earmarked for capital expenditures & G&A related to the LNG facility.
-
Critical Minerals Licenses (Kazakhstan)
- 100 % working interest in Sayakbay (37,300 ha) and Kolkuduk (6,800 ha) licenses – lithium & copper focus.
- Historical brine samples: Li up to 130 mg/L (Kolkuduk) and 67 mg/L (Sayakbay); column thicknesses of tested/un‑tested brine ≈1,000 m (Kolkuduk) and 670 m (Sayakbay).
-
Development plan for Sayakbay: two drill/test wells to verify deliverability; estimated cost USD 6.7 M (CAD 9.1 M), drilling not expected before 2027.
-
Production & Netback Summary – Uzbekistan
- Three‑month gas volume: 5,397,457 Mcf vs 5,394,729 Mcf FY‑24 (+0.05%).
- Nine‑month gas volume: 16,702,386 Mcf vs 12,794,678 Mcf FY‑24 (+31.5%).
- Condensate production down modestly Q3 2025 (−15.6% QoQ) but up YoY for nine‑month period (+46%).
