Executive Summary

  • Condor Energies reported record‑long horizontal drilling in Uzbekistan (A‑21 well, 1279 m lateral, >6% porosity, up to 12% porosity over 223 m) with strong gas shows (20–31%).
  • Acid stimulation and flow testing are planned for A‑21 and the previously drilled A‑23 well, with production expected in H2 2026.
  • The company entered a share purchase agreement to sell its Turkish properties for a ten‑year gross overriding royalty (0–15% up to US$10 M cap) plus €18,000 cash, subject to Turkish government approvals.

Key Details

  • Uzbekistan – Well A‑21
  • Total depth (TD): 3,456 m; horizontal lateral: 1,279 m (record length for Uzbekistan).
  • Carbonate reservoir intersected over >960 m with visible porosity >6%; 223 m segment up to 12% porosity.
  • Gas shows in cuttings ranging from 20% to 31% of fluid volume.
  • Planned acid stimulation of entire lateral, followed by flow test and production start expected H2 2026.

  • Uzbekistan – Well A‑23

  • Previously drilled vertical pilot; acid stimulation previously increased rates 8–10×.
  • Post‑A‑21 stimulation, the 1,007 m lateral of A‑23 will also be acid stimulated, tested and brought online.

  • Kumli Field – Well K‑45

  • Vertical well targeting multiple reservoirs; planned TD 2,400 m.
  • Core recovered at 2,150 m (18 m length) to be shipped to Canada for analysis.
  • Logging will calibrate regional wireline data; testing slated for February 2026.
  • Plans to construct a second drilling pad in Q1 2026 for one additional vertical and up to six horizontal wells.

  • Turkish Properties Sale

  • Share Purchase Agreement signed 21 Jan 2026 with third‑party buyer.
  • Consideration: ten‑year gross overriding royalty (0–15% of sales revenue less royalties & transport, capped at US$10 M) + €18,000 cash on closing.
  • Buyer assumes operating expenditures for 60 days post‑signing and must meet a Minimum Work Commitment (workovers & drilling one new well).
  • Transaction subject to Turkish government approvals; closing within ten business days after approval.

  • Strategic Commentary

  • CEO Don Streu highlighted the high reservoir quality, strong gas shows, and upcoming acid‑stimulation programs as near‑term production catalysts.
  • Sale of Turkish assets aligns with focus on Central Asian gas portfolio, LNG project in Kazakhstan, and critical mineral development from brines.

Notable Quotes

  • “Our active drilling and completion programs are providing several catalysts that may yield further near‑term production growth… The sale of the Turkish assets reaffirms our strategic focus in Central Asia…” – Don Streu, President & CEO.
