HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / December 2, 2024 / EON Resources Inc. (NYSE American:EONR) ("EON" or the "Company") is an independent upstream energy company with oil and gas properties in the Permian Basin. Today, the Company announces the signing of a non-binding Letter of Intent with Enstream Capital Management, LLC ("ECM") for $22.5 million of well completion funding ("WCF").

The Company anticipates using the WCF for the development of 45 wells using low-cost workovers on the Company's 13,700 leasehold acres in Eddy County, New Mexico (the "Property"). The Company also plans to use the funds for the acquisition of an Overriding Royalty Interest in the Property.

The Company looks for key attributes of the WCF to include:

• Structured similar to a term overriding royalty interest to ECM and is considered neither debt nor equity.

• Provides asset-level funding to the Company enabling conversion of oil and gas "behind pipe" and lower-risk, proved undeveloped reserves into production.

• Placement of revenue attributable to ECM's interest into an escrow, then drawn monthly by the Company based upon, and to be used for, an agreed development plan under certain criteria.

• Increases the Company's producing reserves, business profitability, bank collateral and value, and balance sheet strength without diluting Company equity.

EON and ECM view their relationship as a long-term opportunity to provide funding for multi-phase and multi-year development of the Property with minimal capital outlays by the Company.

The details of the proposed production sharing arrangement proposed with ECM are confidential presently, but the Company's objectives will be to cause improvements in production, increase revenues, net cash flow and recoverable reserves over the next 12 months, with a goal to increase gross oil production by 1000 BOPD to 2000 BOPD.

EON has substantial development prospects to pursue follow-on identified development phases, with over one billion barrels of original oil in place under its 13,700 contiguous acreage and 549 wells on its leases.

"We expect to complete this transaction to begin production in the first quarter of 2025, and start having a positive impact on EON's financial condition in 2025 and for many years to come," said Dante Caravaggio, CEO and President of EON.

On November 18, 2024, EON announced its results for the third quarter of 2024 and posted its updated investor deck on its website. The company will hold its annual meeting on December 10, 2024.

About the Oil Field Property

In November 2023, the Company acquired LH Operating, LLC ("LHO") including its holdings in New Mexico of oil and gas waterflood production comprising 13,700 contiguous leasehold acres, 342 producing wells and 207 injection wells situated on 20 federal and 3 state leases in the Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field. The Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field is located on the Northwest Shelf of the prolific Permian Basin in Eddy County, New Mexico.

Leasehold rights of LHO, now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, include the Seven Rivers, Queen, Grayburg and San Andres intervals that range from as shallow as 1,500 feet to 4,000 feet in depth. The December 2023 reserve report from our third-party engineer, William H. Cobb and Associates, Inc. ("Cobb"), reflects LHO to have proven reserves of approximately 15.4 million barrels of oil and 3.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas. The mapped original-oil-in-place ("OOIP") in the LHO leasehold is approximately 876 million barrels of oil in the Grayburg and San Andres intervals and 80 million barrels in the Seven Rivers interval for a total OOIP of approximately 956,000,000 barrels of oil.

Our primary production is currently from the Seven Rivers zone. In addition to proven reserves, the Company believes it may access an additional 34 million barrels of oil by adding perforations in the Grayburg and San Andres formations. With proven oil reserves of over 15 million barrels, combined with the potential 34 million additional barrels from the Grayburg and San Andres zones, LHO should produce oil and a revenue stream for more than two decades with a low decline rate.
