Wedgemount Reports 62% Increase in Oil & Gas Production

Permian Basin E&P and Uranium Explorer Seeks Production Uplift Amid Capital Constraints

Executive Summary
  • Wedgemount Resources reports a 62% increase in total production to an average of 203 BOEPD over the past three weeks.
  • The production surge is driven by the D-29 well, which averaged 34.2 BOEPD (including 27 bbls/d of light oil) over nine days without requiring workovers or major chemical stimulation.
  • The well had been inactive for six years prior to being brought online in mid-June 2026.
  • Management states the company is ahead of internal projections for production since the April 2026 financing.
  • The company plans to optimize existing wells, reactivate eight adjacent inactive wells, and initiate a development plan targeting bypassed pay zones across an inventory of over 500 drilling locations.
  • Operational focus includes surface and subsurface improvements across 22,000 acres to increase production, sales, and reserve recoveries.
Material Impact
  • The production increase validates the efficacy of the April 2026 production enhancement program and the subsequent $1.25M private placement.
  • The D-29 well's performance without stimulation suggests low-cost, high-margin upside from reactivating idle inventory, which aligns with management's stated strategy.
  • However, the absolute production level (203 BOEPD) remains modest for an E&P company, indicating the business is still in a capital-intensive ramp-up phase.
  • The news does not introduce new financial terms, major contracts, or transformative M&A. It is an operational follow-up to previously announced initiatives.
  • Given the company's negative equity and high debt load, any production uplift is critical for cash flow generation, but the current volume is insufficient to service the $4.4M debt or fund the uranium exploration option without further capital raises.
